Fox Sports is set to disappear from Australian screens in 2027, with Foxtel Group bringing its three-decade-old sports brand together with Kayo Sports in one of the biggest changes to its sports offering in years.
The changes, unveiled at the Foxtel Group Upfront on Thursday evening, will see Fox Footy, Fox Cricket and Fox League renamed Kayo Footy, Kayo Cricket and Kayo League, while the remaining Fox Sports channels will become Kayo Sports.
The move will bring the two brands under the Kayo Sports name while retaining Fox Sportsâ existing talent, journalism and production teams.

Kayo SPORTS, a DAZN company, has unveiled a blockbuster 2027 line-up at the DAZN Media+ Upfront, bringing Australiaâs biggest sporting moments together in one place and confirming its place as Australiaâs sports leader.
Supporting the extraordinary line-up, it was also announced at the DAZN Media+ Upfront that in 2027, Australiaâs two powerhouse sports brands, Fox Sports and Kayo SPORTS, will come together under one powerful Kayo SPORTS brand. The evolution combines Fox Sportsâ three decades of authority, trusted journalism, world-class production and iconic sporting voices with Kayo SPORTSâ digital reach, fan connection and market-leading streaming experience.Â
As part of the transition, Fox Footy, Fox Cricket and Fox League will become Kayo Footy, Kayo Cricket and Kayo League, while all other Fox Sports channels will become Kayo SPORTS. While the names evolve, the talent, passion, insight, quality and commitment to fans that have made Fox Sports a central part of Australian sporting culture will remain creating an even stronger, sharper and more exciting future…
