Foxtel sells its channels in packs: Foxtel Plus is the base pack, and Sport and Movies are added on top of it. This list was rebuilt on 5 November 2026 from Foxtel's own channel pack pages and its Foxtel Now guide, so it shows the line-up as it stands now, including channels that have been renamed since 2025 and the Fox Sports to Kayo SPORTS rebrand that Foxtel Group announced for 2027.

Foxtel channels at a glance

Pack	What it adds	Channels
Foxtel Plus	The base pack: drama, entertainment, lifestyle, docos, kids, news and music	64 channel logos on Foxtel's pack page (list below)
Sport	Over 50 sports live, with select sports in 4K	9 channels: Fox Cricket, Fox League, Fox Footy, Fox Sports 503, 505, 506 and 507, ESPN and ESPN2
Movies	Blockbusters and classics, ad-break free	10 channels, including Movies Ultra HD and Pulp
Specialty	Greek and Italian TV	2 channels: Antenna Pacific and RAI
Netflix	The Standard Netflix plan, bundled with a Foxtel bundle	Watched on the Foxtel iQ box next to the channels

Foxtel says Foxtel Plus is the base pack, so you cannot buy Foxtel without it and every other pack is added to it. Foxtel's bundle page also lists a HBO Max Basic With Ads plan "on us" with its bundles, and a Multiscreen feature for watching on another screen.

Foxtel Plus channels

This is every channel in Foxtel's own Foxtel Plus graphic, grouped by us. Foxtel does not publish channel numbers on that page, so numbers are in a separate table further down.

For a month-by-month view, see what is on Foxtel and our guide to the Foxtel Plus pack.

What changed since 2025

Sky News Australia is now News24. The channel changed its name on 27 July 2026 and the new name now appears on Foxtel, BINGE and other platforms, according to TV Blackbox. Foxtel's own guide lists News24 on channel 600 and News24 Weather on 601.
TVSN is closing. Foxtel Now's site carries a notice that TVSN (channel 176) closes on 15 November 2026.
The Favourites and Kids packs are gone as separate packs. Foxtel's pack page now lists Foxtel Plus, Sport, Movies, Specialty and Netflix only.
Boomerang and Cartoon Network no longer appear in Foxtel's Foxtel Plus graphic. DreamWorks and Kids do.

Sport pack channels

Foxtel's Sport pack has nine channels, all in HD:

Fox Cricket
Fox League
Fox Footy
Fox Sports 503
Fox Sports 505
Fox Sports 506
Fox Sports 507
ESPN
ESPN2

Foxtel says the pack covers the NBA, NFL, NRL, AFL, Formula 1, cricket, Supercars, UFC and football, and that NRL, AFL, Formula 1 and cricket can be watched in 4K Ultra HD on selected games. The 4K channels need an internet-connected iQ4 or iQ5 box and a compatible 4K TV.

Fox Sports is becoming Kayo SPORTS in 2027

On 3 September 2026, at the DAZN Media+ upfront, Foxtel Group announced that Fox Sports and Kayo are being brought together under one Kayo SPORTS brand in 2027. B&T, ChannelNews and TV Blackbox all report the same detail:

Fox Footy, Fox Cricket and Fox League become Kayo Footy, Kayo Cricket and Kayo League.
The other Fox Sports channels become Kayo SPORTS.
Kayo and Foxtel will keep showing every AFL and NRL home-and-away match live in 2027, with no ad breaks during play and selected games in 4K.
Existing coverage stays available to Foxtel customers.

Not confirmed: the month the new names start, the new channel numbers, whether Foxtel pack names or prices change, and what Foxtel customers need to do. None of those were in the coverage we read, and Foxtel's own pack page still uses the Fox Sports names on 5 November 2026. Until the switch, the names and channels in the list above are the ones to look for. We will update this page when Foxtel publishes the 2027 channel guide.

For how the two services compare today, see Kayo Sports, Foxtel's Fox Sports channels and our guide to the Foxtel Sport pack.

Movies pack channels

Foxtel Movies is ad-break free and has ten channels:

Movies Premiere
Movies Family
Movies Action
Movies Comedy
Movies Drama
Movies Hits
Movies Greats
Movies Romance
Movies Ultra HD (needs a compatible 4K TV)
Pulp

Foxtel says the pack also brings the biggest blockbusters on demand. The earlier Lifetime Movie Network channel is not in Foxtel's current Movies graphic.

Specialty channels

Two extra channels can be added to any bundle: Antenna Pacific for 24-hour Greek programming and RAI for 24-hour Italian programming. Foxtel says you can add both or just one.

Foxtel channel numbers

Foxtel's online TV guide for Foxtel Now lists these channel numbers (read on 5 November 2026 without logging in). Channel numbers for the Sport and Movies packs sit behind a login, apart from the numbers that are part of a channel's name (Fox Sports 503, 505, 506 and 507). Check your own iQ box guide before relying on a number, and expect the Fox Sports numbers to change with the 2027 rebrand.
