Kayo Sports Reveals Live Coverage: “Mega Motorsport Weekend”

Australian sports streaming platform Kayo Sports (a subsidiary of Foxtel) has launched a multi-property broadcast campaign titled the “Mega Motorsport Weekend,” delivering direct-to-consumer coverage across three global motorsport series: the Australian MotoGP finale at Phillip Island, the inaugural round of the 2026 Supercars Finals on the Gold Coast, and the FIA Formula 1 United States Grand Prix from Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

The programming slate features live studio preview coverage, on-site panel analysis, and ad-break-free session broadcasts. The multi-venue campaign highlights Foxtel and Kayo Sports’ broader strategy to aggregate premium international and domestic motorsport rights—including long-term rights extensions for Formula 1, Supercars, and MotoGP—to drive subscriber acquisition and engagement across high-density racing windows.

Executive Perspective and Rights Portfolio Alignment

Emphasising the network’s plans of combining live broadcast feeds with original shoulder programming to increase viewership duration, managing director of Fox Sports, Steve Crawley, said: “Motorsport fans want to see every big moment wherever the action is, and this weekend will deliver plenty of them.”

“Our job is to give fans more than the result.

“We’re bringing them the stories, the insight and the coverage that bring the whole weekend to life,” Crawley said.
