Racing Victoria (RV) and the Foxtel Group have confirmed an extended multi-year broadcast partnership that will keep Racing.com available across Foxtel’s platforms, including Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
Racing.com remains exclusive racing channel on Kayo
The new agreement ensures Racing.com remains the only racing channel on Kayo Sports and will now be included across the entire Foxtel Business commercial distribution network, excluding licensed venues. This move will see Racing.com become accessible in a wider range of commercial settings such as hotels, gyms, hospitals, and aged care facilities.
The RV-owned channel, which delivers 24/7 coverage of thoroughbred racing, will continue broadcasting in high definition on Foxtel Channel 529, as well as on streaming services Foxtel Now and Foxtel GO. It features racing from Victoria, South Australia, and Hong Kong, along with major UK events. A key addition is Racing.com’s new inclusion of all Western Australian thoroughbred meetings, which commenced this week.
Aaron Morrison, Chief Executive of Racing Victoria, said the expanded partnership supports RV’s mission to reach broader and younger audiences: “The breadth of coverage of Victorian racing and that of our local and global partners will be expanded further thanks to the extension of our agreement with the Foxtel Group to showcase Racing.com.”
“We are particularly excited to remain the only racing channel on Kayo Sports which is a must-have for any sporting fan and to expand the broadcast of Racing.com into Foxtel’s commercial network,” Morrison said.
Nic Goard, Foxtel Group Head of Sport and Content Partnerships, said: “We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Racing.com, strengthening our commitment to showcasing the very best of Australian thoroughbred racing. This collaboration means our subscribers can continue to enjoy Racing.com’s premium racing coverage and events, alongside the breadth of sport available across our platforms.”
“It’s great that we can also continue to evolve our partnership by having the channel available to all of our Foxtel Business customers (excluding licensed venues) for the first time,” Goard added.
Racing.com continues to be a key pillar in Foxtel’s broader racing and sports content offering, as media companies aim to increase engagement with audiences via diversified platforms.
