Kayo Sports Reaches New Heights: Record Viewership and Expanded Coverage in 2025

Record-Breaking Growth and Enhanced Coverage

Kayo Sports, the Australian over-the-top video streaming service owned by Hubbl, a subsidiary of Foxtel, continues to revolutionize sports streaming with its comprehensive coverage of Fox Sports networks and partnerships with ESPN Australia and Racing.com.

The platform has achieved remarkable success in 2025, particularly with AFL coverage, where viewership increased by 19% year-on-year, with fans watching an unprecedented 7.37 billion minutes of football. AFL CEO Andrew Dillon acknowledged this growth as a significant milestone for the sport.

Expanding Sports Portfolio

In a major development, Kayo Sports has secured rights as the official broadcast partner for the Mahindra Australian Volleyball Super League and the Australian Beach Volleyball Tour. This partnership aims to showcase the speed, skill, and athleticism of volleyball while raising the profile of athletes and growing the game commercially.

The platform has also announced a significant multi-year broadcast agreement with Supercars commencing in 2026, which will include comprehensive coverage of every round of the Repco Supercars Championship and the Bathurst 12 Hour. The deal coincides with Toyota’s entry into the series and includes plans for a new street circuit in Perth.

Technical Innovation and Viewer Experience

With subscription prices ranging between $30 and $40, Kayo Sports offers both 1080p standard HD and 4K coverage, providing the broadest range of sports coverage in Australia outside of Foxtel, but at a more competitive price point. The 4K resolution ensures crystal-clear viewing quality for every play.

The platform’s commitment to comprehensive coverage is evident in its programming, with more than 450 hours of live streaming available across multiple sports, including Formula 1, AFL, NRL, Netball Team Girls Cup, The PLAYERS Championship, Supercars, WSL Championship Tour, NBA on ESPN, and NBL Playoffs.
