The highly dramatic 2025 Repco Bathurst 1000 on Sunday 12 October has become the most streamed Supercars race of all time on Kayo SPORTS, up 19% year-on-year, as fans watched Garth Tander and Matt Payne clinch an action-packed victory for Ford at Mount Panorama.

Across the race, fans streamed a total of 189 million minutes of LIVE action as Tander celebrated his sixth Bathurst 1000 victory, and the young Payne secured his first.

Total audiences across all Foxtel Group platforms including Kayo SPORTS, FOXTEL and FOXTEL Now were up 15% year-on-year.

**Foxtel Group Director of Content Acquisitions and Sports Partnerships Adam Howarth said: “**Supercars have re-imagined their schedule in 2025, and our season-long audiences have been fantastic, but Bathurst was on another level.

“The drama and storylines really stopped the nation, and our audiences reflected this. With three rounds of the Championship remaining, there is still plenty of action to go. Season 2025 has been a smash, and there’s even more to come next year when Toyota joins the field. Supercars is on fire.”

Kayo SPORTS was able to share every dramatic moment of the race with subscribers LIVE and ad-break free during racing. The impact was clear in this record-breaking streaming achievement, and with Supercars and Kayo SPORTS having recently signed a multi-year broadcast agreement there will be plenty more racing for fans to enjoy for years to come.

After record-breaking NRL and AFL seasons, Kayo SPORTS subscribers can continue to enjoy the best in sport with the Pacific Championship, Rugby League Ashes, and a blockbuster Summer of Cricket still to come.

I’m pretty sure Foxtel boxes support alternative language tracks, so surely it couldn’t be too hard to fire it up on the linear channels? I’m sure some pubs & clubs would like the option considering the price premium they’re meant to be paying for a Foxtel Business sub.

Thank god, having to listen to brundle and co commentate over their own Lando has been irritating to say the least

Alternative commentary is scheduled on 507, similar to the Hindi cricket and AFLW coverage (don’t get it for AFLW). Bit of a waste of bandwidth but don’t think that’s a problem for Foxtel right now and probably simpler than explaining the alternative audio tracks feature for the first time in 20 years (discounting the old red button features).

Not sure if they’re putting the alternative commentary on a separate 4k channel but it’s not like they’re running out of them either.

MOST STREAMED TEST MATCH EVER

MOST STREAMED TEST DAY EVER

The First Test Match of the Australia v England 2025/26 Ashes Series has broken records on Kayo SPORTS recording the highest average streaming audience of any Test Match in its history.

As Australia looked to close out the Match, Day 2 was the most streamed Test Day ever. The Day achieved 90 million minutes streamed on Kayo SPORTS.

FOX SPORTS Managing Director Steve Crawley said: “It was an unpredictable Test from beginning to end. From Mitchell Starc to Travis Head and all the heroics in between … from Baz Ball and all the calamity, a record number of Australians chose our coverage, led by Adam Gilchrist, to watch every moment of the action. We can’t wait for next week’s Second Ashes Test in Brisbane."

The second Ashes Test kicks off in Brisbane on Thursday 4 December with every ball live and ad-break free during play on Kayo SPORTS and Foxtel.

To back the debate, Kayo Sports are asking Aussies to dob in their mates and upload their pictures or videos of friends and family streaming sport at a social event, tag @kayosports and #dontmissathing, and go in the drawer to win a double pass to Day 1 of the fifth and final Ashes Test in Sydney.

Kayo SPORTS has delivered yet another audience high for a sport, with the 2025 Formula 1® (F1®) season becoming the most streamed ever on the platform. Across the season, 898 million minutes were streamed, up 26% year on year.

Foxtel Group Executive Director – Commercial, Sport, Adam Howarth said: “What a ripper of a season with no clear champion until the final round. We loved bringing every heart-stopping moment to Australians, and it’s clear they loved it too, flocking to our platforms across the season to follow every twist and turn and, of course, support home grown hero Oscar Piastri.

“We can’t wait to do it all again in 2026, where the stakes are higher with new drivers, new rules, a new track in Madrid – all delivered in 4K and ad-break free during racing.”

The 2025 season also recorded four of the top five most watched races of all time across Foxtel Group platforms. These were the 2025 Australian, Spanish, Chinese and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

In 2026, FOX SPORTS – available on Kayo SPORTS and Foxtel – remains the home of Formula 1®, with every practice, qualifying session and race LIVE, in 4K and ad-break free during racing. The 2026 F1® season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix from 6-8 March.

These releases are useless. They never give us average figures. Streaming minutes is a fucking useless metric.
