History
In March 2018 it was reported Foxtel were investigating an over-the-top sports streaming service to appeal to customers not willing to subscribe to traditional satellite or cable. At the time the service had reportedly been in development for more than nine months but was yet to be green lit. It was reported the new service would not use the Foxtel branding.[2] In August 2018 it was reported Foxtel had green lit this new sports streaming service, which was code named Project Martian. It was predicted the service would launch in late 2018 coinciding with a cricket event following Foxtel's recent new six year broadcasting deal with Cricket Australia.[3][4] In October 2018, it was reported the service was originally planned to launch in early November but was delayed until early December in order to conduct further testing to avoid technical issues similar to those experienced by Optus Sport for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[5] On 5 November 2018 it was reported Foxtel were exploring including ESPN and beIN Sports in the service which was rumored to be called Kayo Sports.[6]
On 9 November 2018, it was formally announced the new service would be called Kayo Sports and launched in beta that day. At launch, the service offered over 50 sports from Fox Sports, ESPN and beIN Sports networks live and on demand. Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany described the service as the "Netflix of sport".[7] Following a positive reception to the beta launch, Kayo Sports officially launched on 26 November 2018.[8][9]
On 6 May 2019 Kayo Sports added Racing.com.[10]
Subscription Numbers
As of February 2019, Kayo Sports had 115,000 subscribers of which 100,000 were paying. By the end of June 2019, Kayo Sports had 382,000 subscribers of which 331,000 were paying.[11] As of November 2019, there were 443,000 subscribers, of which 402,000 were paying.[1]
