Formula One extends Kayo SPORTS partnership

Formula One has announced a multi-year extension of its broadcast partnership agreement with Kayo SPORTS, which will thus remain the premier motor-racing series’ broadcaster in Australia.

The extension will see Kayo SPORTS broadcast every race, qualifying session, and practice session for the 2027 season and beyond.

Additionally, Kayo SPORTS will offer fans a look at unique live feeds and minis, including on-demand Formula 1 replays, for the most comprehensive coverage. 

Ian Holmes, Chief Media Rights and Broadcast Officer at Formula One, commented:

“We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with the Foxtel Group so that our fans in Australia can continue to enjoy comprehensive coverage of Formula 1 on Kayo SPORTS and FOXTEL. The quality of the product and immersive experience they provide for fans takes them closer to the action, continuing to keep spectators on the edge of their seat. With new regulations, new teams, new drivers, new race locations and more, there’s never been a more exciting time to engage with the sport. As a forward-thinking, ambitious and technology-focused business, we’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Foxtel in taking our spectacular product to more and more fans across Australia.”

Patrick Delany, CEO of Foxtel Group, added:

“Kayo SPORTS is Australia’s sport leader with the best live sport, and our extension with Formula 1 further cements our position as the premier destination for both local and international motorsport. This extension continues our commitment to growing F1 in Australia and strengthening our fans’ connection to it. We are partners in growth, and for more than a decade we’ve proudly supported the sport’s momentum, bringing fans closer to the action every season. That shared ambition continues to deliver results, with engagement reaching new heights and the 2025 season becoming our most watched season ever. We’re pleased to continue delivering comprehensive Formula 1 coverage to our subscribers, with every race live in 4K, alongside our popular F1®Minis, giving Australians the most comprehensive coverage of the sport. And with racing shown ad-break free, fans won’t miss a single moment.”
