Free movies for Foxtel's sports fans

With live sports now a distant memory, Foxtel is giving sports subscribers access to its Movies pack, free of charge until June 30.

From today, the pay TV giant will automatically provide access to ten dedicated movie channels, for residential and Foxtel Now customer with a sports package. This offer is only available to customers who already have a sports package; new customers who sign up for a package including sports will not receive any movie channels.

This means that sports customers will now be able to watch, Movies Premiere, Movies Kids, Movies Family, Movies Action, Movies Comedy, Movies Drama, Movies Thriller, Movies Hits, Movies Greats and Movies Romance.

Customers who already have both the sports and movies pack won't got any additional discounts or channel access.

During the promotion, customers will enjoy continued access to sport channels, albeit with a heavily altered line up of archival sports, pop-up channels, and documentaries.

This comes off the back of Foxtel opening up extra channel packs for subscribers, in a bid to make social distancing that little bit easier.
