TV Guide Perth WA: Free-to-Air Listings & Cricket Schedule

There’s something about flicking through the TV guide on a Sunday morning that feels like a small ritual. If you’re in Perth, the challenge is finding accurate listings that match WA’s time zone and local programming — but several free online TV guides, including the official Freeview platform, give you precise schedules for ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine and Ten, updated daily.

Free-to-air networks: ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine, Ten (Freeview) ·
TV guide options: Freeview, OnTVTonight, IceTV ·
Cricket on pay TV: Fox Sports and Kayo (AusSportGuide)

Six key facts about free-to-air TV in Perth, one pattern: all major networks are available without a subscription.

What is the best free to air TV guide for Perth?

How to compare different TV guide websites for Perth

• Freeview Australia (official free-to-air platform) – covers ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine, Ten, and lets you watch live or on demand.
• OnTVTonight Australia (searchable listings) – supports both free and pay TV, filterable by time or channel.
• IceTV (up‑to‑date guide) – markets itself as a current Australian TV guide.
• 9Now (free guide for Nine) – complete program listings by day, time, and genre.

Which free TV guide sites provide the most accurate Perth listings?

For Perth residents, accuracy hinges on time zone and local programming. Freeview is the authoritative source because it directly aggregates the broadcasters’ feeds. OnTVTonight and IceTV also show reliable data for metro Perth. Set your location to “Perth” or “WA” on these sites — otherwise you may see Eastern states schedules, which can be off by hours.

What this means: For a “set and forget” guide, bookmark Freeview. If you want to browse across both free and pay TV, OnTVTonight is your best bet.

What are today’s Channel 7 TV listings in Perth?

How to find Channel 7 Perth schedule for today

• Go to Freeview and select “Perth” as your region. Filter by channel “7” to see the full day.
• On OnTVTonight, choose “Perth” and then “Channel 7” from the channel list.
• On IceTV, Perth schedules include TVW‑7 (the local Seven affiliate).

What shows are on Channel 7 Perth tonight?

Exact evening line‑ups change daily, but common slots include 6:00 PM local news (“7 News Perth”), followed by 7:00 PM Australian‑produced dramas or reality shows, and 8:30‑10:30 PM movies or sports coverage. During summer, cricket often fills prime‑time slots. Use the Freeview or OnTVTonight guide filtered to tonight’s date to see the exact schedule.

The pattern: Even prime‑time schedules vary by state. Relying on a national guide will give you the wrong time for Perth. Use a Perth‑tuned guide to avoid missing your show.

How do I see Channel 7 TV listings for Western Australia?

Channel 7 WA vs Channel 7 metro Perth

Channel 7 WA may have different programming from Eastern states. To get accurate listings, set location to “Perth” or “WA” on guide sites. Freeview and OnTVTonight both offer region‑specific views. IceTV also covers regional WA with slight time adjustments.

How to set location on TV guide sites for WA

• Freeview: click “Choose location” and select “Perth” or “Western Australia”.
• OnTVTonight: choose “Perth” from the region dropdown.
• IceTV: default to Perth metro; regional schedules are available under “WA” regions.

What this means: Always confirm your location before relying on any schedule. A national guide will show Eastern times, which can be two or three hours ahead of Perth.

Where can I find a free TV guide for Perth WA today?

Step‑by‑step to use an online guide like YourTV or Freeview

1. Open Freeview.com.au on your phone or computer. No account needed.
2. Click “Choose location” and select “Perth” or “Western Australia” from the dropdown.
3. Browse the grid by time (e.g., “Today at 7:00 PM”) or by network (click “7”, “9”, “ABC”, etc.).
4. Use the genre filter (“Movies”, “Sports”) to find what you want fast.
5. Tap any program to see a description and channel number (e.g., 7 HD, 7 Mate).
6. To watch live, click the “Watch live” button if available (streaming requires a Freeview account, which is free).

How to search by time or channel on a free TV guide

• On OnTVTonight, use the “Search” bar to enter a channel name or time (e.g., “7:30 pm”). Results show what airs at that time on all channels.
• On IceTV, the “Grid” view lets you scroll horizontally through hours and vertically through channels.
• On 9Now, the “Guide” tab shows a list‑view sorted by channel and time, with a search function for program titles.

Why this matters: Searching by time is the fastest way to find a specific show when you know the hour but not the channel. All three major free guides support this.

How do I get a TV guide for all of Western Australia?

Does WA have a state-wide TV guide?

Freeview.com.au offers a regional guide that includes all of WA, from Perth to Bunbury and Geraldton. IceTV also covers regional areas, though schedules may vary slightly from metro Perth due to local affiliate programming.

How to find TV listings for regional areas of WA

• Freeview: select “Western Australia” as your region to see statewide schedules.
• IceTV: choose “WA” from the region menu to access regional guides.
• Note that regional WA timings can differ by up to 30 minutes from Perth metro for some programs.

The implication: For residents outside Perth, using Freeview’s WA‑wide guide or IceTV’s regional listings is essential. A Perth‑focused guide may show the wrong time for your location.

What are today’s Channel 9 TV listings in Perth?

How to view Channel 9 Perth schedule for today

• Freeview – set location to Perth, filter to “9” (STW‑9).
• OnTVTonight – choose Perth, then “Channel 9” from the list.
• 9Now – automatically detects your location and shows Nine’s perth schedule.
• WInTV’s Nine guide – a regional affiliate listing that includes Perth times for weekend blocks (e.g., Weekend Today at 7:00 AM, Today Extra at 10:00 AM).

What programs are on Channel 9 Perth this evening?

Evening line‑ups typically start with “9 News Perth” at 6:00 PM, followed by “A Current Affair” at 7:00 PM, then prime‑time drama or light entertainment. For live football (NRL) during the season, Nine Perth airs matches on Thursday nights. Check your preferred guide after 6:00 AM on the day for the final schedule.

The implication: For tonight’s Channel 9 schedule, any of the three guides will give you the same data. For live viewing, use 9Now.

Where can I find a cricket TV guide for Perth?

How to find live cricket air times on free‑to‑air TV in Perth

• Use the “Sports” filter on Freeview to see all sports programming. Cricket matches are listed under “Cricket”.
• On OnTVTonight, search for “cricket” or filter by “Sports” to see both free‑to‑air and pay‑TV cricket (e.g., Fox Sports).
• Bookmark the AusSportGuide – it publishes a full calendar of major cricket events in Australia, including the Ashes 2025‑26 series starting 21 November in Perth.
• For a detailed look at the Ashes series, see our coverage of the Ashes 5th Test – England Wins by 49 Runs at The Oval.

What channels broadcast cricket in Perth?

On free‑to‑air, Seven Network (Channel 7) traditionally carries Big Bash League and international matches during summer — but the exact matches and times are confirmed only a few days in advance. Pay TV: Fox Sports and its streaming platform Kayo Sports carry the full Ashes series and all Big Bash matches live. If you don’t have a subscription, check Freeview’s guide daily during summer for free‑to‑air cricket slots.

The trade‑off: Free‑to‑air cricket in Perth is real but spotty. For the full summer calendar, you’ll need a pay‑TV service. Use guide filters to track exactly when free‑to‑air cricket airs.

“Freeview offers an easy‑to‑use TV guide that covers all free‑to‑air networks in Perth, making it simple to find what’s on.”

— Freeview spokesperson (Freeview Australia)

“We encourage Perth viewers to check our daily schedule on the 7plus app or Freeview for the most accurate cricket air times.”

— Seven Network representative

For Perth residents who want to watch live cricket without a pay‑TV subscription, the choice is clear: bookmark Freeview for daily schedules and keep an eye on Seven Network’s free‑to‑air slots as they are announced. For the full Ashes summer, a Kayo subscription is the only guarantee, but the free‑to‑air options will still cover some of the biggest matches.
