beIN SPORTS (Ch. 513, 514 and 515) will be dropped by Foxtel and Kayo after June 30th, ending 7 years on the Foxtel platform.
The move follows the Qatari-owned provider recently losing the rights to International Rugby, Six Nations Rugby, Champions League and LaLiga.
A Foxtel Group spokesperson said, “As part of our constant evaluation of programming and channels, we have made the decision not to renew our partnership with beIN Sports. Our beIN SPORTS channels will be available to customers until 30 June 2023. We continue be the home of Australia’s biggest and fastest growing sports including NRL, AFL, Cricket, Netball, NBL, Motorsports and many others which we distribute through a wide variety of channels across Foxtel and stream on Kayo Sports. Our Foxtel customers also now have access to even more sporting content with the recent introduction of Optus Sport and Paramount + onto iQ set top boxes.”
Optus Sports, home to Premier League, Barclays Women’s Super League, Spain’s LaLiga, J.League and tournaments such as the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and UEFA Euro 2024, is available on IQ4 and IQ5 boxes, but at a monthly subscription fee of $24.99 ($6.99 for Optus customers).
Elsewhere, a BeIN SPORTS Connect sub retails at $19.99 per month (1 week free trial).
