Off the back of a record-breaking summer of cricket, Kayo has hit 2026 at full pace with its biggest ever winter codes campaign. Spanning every corner of the media landscape, NRL Vegas, AFL Opening Round and the F1 Australian GP have already set the tone for Kayo's biggest year yet.

Rugby League in Vegas

Rugby League returned to Las Vegas for the third year in a row, and each year it only gets bigger and better. The 2026 edition was the biggest yet, a milestone that speaks to just how far Rugby League’s footprint has grown. With Fox League being the only place to watch all three Rugby League Las Vegas games live with no ad-breaks in play, fans had every reason to tune in - and they did. It's a sign of things to come for a season that's already shaping up to be the most watched in Kayo's history.

AFL Opening Round

The AFL wasn't about to be left behind either. Opening Round delivered exactly what fans had been waiting for - big clashes, packed stadiums and an unmatchable atmosphere that reminded everyone just why the AFL is like no other sport in the world. Fans showed up in massive numbers on Kayo, continuing the platform's incredible run to start 2026. With Fox Footy being the only place to watch every game of every round live with no ad-breaks in play, Opening Round set the tone for what promises to be a blockbuster AFL season and Kayo was right there at the centre of it all.

F1® Australian Grand Prix

The momentum didn't stop at the footy with the season opening F1® Australian Grand Prix roaring back to Albert Park, delivering one of the most watched motorsport events in Foxtel Group history. With all the drama, speed and spectacle that only the Australian Grand Prix can deliver, fans locked in from lights out to the chequered flag. Another sign that 2026 is shaping up to be Kayo's biggest year yet.

What’s coming next?

The best is still yet to come on Kayo. NRL Magic Round returns to Brisbane bringing sixteen teams to one city for the most electric weekend on the rugby league calendar. AFL Gather Round is set to take over South Australia once again, delivering a festival of footy that gets bigger every year. And with the Formula One® season only just getting started, you won’t want to miss every twist, turn and title battle. If the start of 2026 has been anything to go by, there's never been a better time for your brand to be on Kayo Sports.
