Where can I stream the 2026 Grand Prix events?
There are three ways to stream the 2026 Grand Prix season: Kayo Sports, Foxtel or through free-to-air Channels 10, 10Bold and TenPlay.
What is Kayo Sports?
Kayo Sports is Foxtel's streaming service dedicated solely to streaming sports content. Virtually any sport you can think of is available to watch here, both live and on-demand.
The pros: Its vast collection of content. Kayo boasts the most sports of any streaming service. Some specialise in one or a few sports, for example beIN Sport specialises in Soccer (Football), Tennis, Motorsports and Basketball while DAZN focuses more on combat and contact sports.
But Kayo's got both the classic favourites like Basketball, Rugby League, Soccer, NFL and Hockey plus even the most obscure sports, like lawn mower racing and much MUCH weirder.
The cons: It appears sport entertainment comes at a high price. For Kayo you're looking at either $29.99 or $45.99 per month, meaning even Kayo isn't making it affordable to be a sports fanatic. The only streaming service more expensive than Kayo is Foxtel Now's Essentials package plus its Sports package at $54 per month.
Yes, Kayo Sports offers a week-long free trial for new customers. Click below to opt in.

Foxtel Now is Foxtel's solution to the increasing demand for online streaming.
The pros: It's cheaper than a traditional Foxtel subscription, there are no contracts, and there's no installation required. All content is streamed online, as you might with Disney Plus, Stan, or any other online streaming service.
The cons: Unlike other streaming services, which offer access to their entire content library for a monthly fee, Foxtel Now splits its content into 'packs', usually by genre or type.
Each packs give access to a specific type of content like sport, drama TV, kids content or movies.
Yes, Foxtel Now does offer a free 10-day trial for new customers.

When comparing Foxtel to Kayo, the latter's Premium tier ($45.99 per month) is almost half the price of Foxtel's equivalent tier. Most of Foxtel's plans far exceed all other streaming services in terms of pricing.

As discussed already, unlike traditional streaming services, to get all of Foxtel's content, you need to shell out for its ultimate bundle, which is around $104 per month. But when you consider that it gets you kids' content, movies, drama TV and sports, that would mean you could ditch several streaming services for just one.
For example, Binge and HBO Max both offer a lot of the same content as Foxtel anyway, as does Kayo with sports, and Hayu with its drama and reality library.
Unsubscribing from all of those for one Foxtel Now subscription could only cost you an extra $40.03 per month (that's if you're subscribed to their minimum tiers only).
So if you were to add one more subscription to the list to ditch, and you'll likely come out in front.
However, if it's just sporting content you're after, we recommend committing to Kayo for the long-term.
Editor's pick: Great NBN 50 and NBN 100 plans for streaming
Streaming TV and movies on your home internet, whether through Foxtel Now or Kayo, can use up a lot of data. That's why we recommend getting an NBN plan with unlimited data, so an NBN 50 plan or faster.
Most internet plans these days are unlimited, so that's not an issue. As for speed, it's true that NBN 50 plans will get most households by. But NBN 100 plans can be similar in price to NBN 50 plans.
This is certainly the case for the first six months, which most providers offer discounted pricing for. The cost differences between NBN 50 and NBN 100 can become larger after that six-month discount period ends, however.
