What is Kayo Sports?

Launched in November 2018 by Foxtel, Kayo Sports is widely known as the “Netflix of Sports” in Australia. It offers an extensive lineup of live sports, including cricket, rugby, football, basketball, boxing, UFC, and more. You can also access content from Fox Sports, ESPN, and Racing.com, making it a one-stop shop for sports enthusiasts. With over 1.5 million subscribers, Kayo Sports is a popular platform that provides flexibility and a rich selection of content.

IPTV, your choice

Kayo Sports offers pay-per-view (PPV) events like UFC and boxing through their Main Event feature. You don’t need a separate subscription for these events—just purchase the fight card, and you’re ready to stream.

Kayo Sports Subscription Plans

There are several plans to choose from, each designed for different user needs:

• Kayo Sports One: AU$25 per month. This plan allows you to stream in HD quality but limits the streaming to one device at a time.
• Kayo Sports Basic: AU$35 per month. This plan provides 4K streaming and allows two simultaneous connections.

When you sign up for a new Kayo Sports account, you can enjoy a 7-day free trial to explore the platform and its features. If you decide the service isn’t for you, be sure to cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being charged.
