FAQs
Where Can I Watch The AFL In Bali?
All the best sports bars in Bali show AFL as Bali’s biggest group of tourists, by far, is Australian tourists. Sports enthusiasts from Australia are always well-catered to at Bistro C, James Cook Sports Bar, Y Sports Bar, and other sports bars in Bali.
Just remember though, that parts of Australia have a very different time zone and not every bar with multiple HD screens will be open when the matches are live.

Buffalo racing is a popular sport here in Bali, mind you, but there’s only a short season for it each year.
What Sport Do They Play In Bali?
They play basketball, football, buffalo racing, volleyball, and other sports in Bali but it’s often difficult to see Balinese teams playing as you will find that many of the teams don’t offer information online about what’s going on.
