Where to watch Richmond vs. Adelaide: Free live stream, free-to-air channel, start time for AFL match image

The 2025 AFL season's Round 16 match sees Richmond Tigers take on Adelaide Crows on Sunday at the MCG.

Richmond are officially the worst side in the league on current form, losing all of their last five matches -- even bottom-placed West Coast have managed a shock win in recent games.

With a 3-11 record, there isn't much to rejoice this season. However, against Adelaide, they have maintained a strong record, winning in four of their past five meetings.

Adelaide, meanwhile, will look to keep hold of their top-four spot. While they have been strong in attack, their emergence as a strong defensive unit, conceding an average of just 60 points in the last nine games, makes the Crows an even more dangerous outfit.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
