VPNs for ad-blocking Fast-forward to more recent times and the good news is there are sport streaming services out there, but choices aren’t particularly widespread if you’re a fan of more than one sport. While there are some user-interface hiccups when using Kayo Sports, once you wrap your head around its quirks, it’s relatively easy to use and a great place for live sport, full replays, and shorter mini-match packages. The overall potential value has been impacted somewhat by rugby union shifting to Stan Sport and certain soccer leagues now on Optus Sport, but that’s not enough to stop Kayo Sports from offering an impressive array of sports viewing options. Here’s a selection of the 50+ sports options on Kayo Sports: That’s all well and good if you can get the $25 of value out of the Essentials package, but if you’re in it for just the sport, Kayo Sports is the way to go. Foxtel Now also lets you pay to add extra channels like Movies and Drama Extra, but it can cost as much as $104 a month if you add everything. At the time of writing, the reliable word on the street was that Sports Flick had put in a bid for the UEFA Champions League that would see the service snatching the rights for this particular soccer league from Optus Sport. That’s a huge win if it plays out that way, but Sports Flick already has other sports that warrant a look, and it’s the quantity that wins here (quantity of sports, not just single-sport leagues). Still, the streaming quality is all over the place and the presentation of available content needs work on the user-friendliness front. Here are the different sports you can find on Sports Flick (more accurately, the ones we could find; the user interface is bad in comparison to other competing services): Quality isn’t the best and maxes out at 720p, but there are great quality-of-life features, including three live channels with ongoing content, picture-in-picture viewing, as well as a mix of minis, match highlights and catch-up TV (though these latter three expire). Here’s the sports and leagues you’ll find on Bein Sports Connect, spit across football (soccer), tennis and rugby union: From there, it’ll cost $6 a month to nab the Vibe channel pack, which includes ESPN and ESPN2, both of which are available on a Kayo or Foxtel Now subscription. Additionally, you can add the Bein Sports Back for $19.99 a month, but that can also be bought separately at the same price as part of Bein Sports Connect (or as part of a Kayo/Foxtel Now subscription). Alternatively, below is a list of daily updating popular NBN plans that come with a Fetch TV add-on. The main reason to sign up now, though, is for rugby union and, more specifically, Super Rugby. It’ll cost you $10 a month on top of a Stan subscription – making it closer to Foxtel Now than Kayo Sports or Optus Sport – which effectively means it’s a minimum cost of $20 a month to watch rugby. While the streaming quality isn’t the best, there is a great mix of live matches, highlights and minis, as well as full match replays and classic matches to justify the price of admission. And if Stan Sport can secure more sport – most critically summer sports – it’ll help justify the ongoing cost when rugby union is out of season. Here are the different sports (two) and leagues you’ll find on Stan Sport: Even if the streaming quality is comparable, the user experience is a smidge better on Optus Sport compared to Stan Sport, and the 2020 inclusion of OS Fitness for home workouts adds value outside of the soccer obsession. Here are the six soccer leagues you’ll find on Optus Sport:
English Premier League UEFA Europa League FA Women’s Super League Internationals J.League UEFA Euro 2020 (postponed to June 2021)
Below is a daily updating list of the most popular Optus SIM Only plans that come with Optus Sport.
DAZN (boxing) for $2.99 per month NBA League Pass (American basketball) for $39.99 per month or $114.99 per year (League Pass) NBL TV (Australian basketball) for $5 per month My Football Live Pass (soccer) for $6.99 per month Netball Live Pass for $1.99 per week, $3.99 per month or $7.49 per quarter UFC Fight Pass (MMA fighting) for $10.99 per month or $104.99 per year
There are other sport streaming services like Hulu, FuboTV and ESPN+, but these are all geoblocked in Australia. It is possible to bypass geoblocks with the right virtual private network (VPN) service, but you also run the risk of violating the terms and conditions of the user agreement of these types of services, and you’ll be paying in US dollars.
