Keep Your Eye on the Ball with Foxtel’s Sport HD Pack

A new year means one thing to sport fans around Australia – the legends of sport getting ready to launch into another season of competition, pushing the limits of endurance to deliver some of the most thrilling moments you can see on a TV screen. Australians love their sport – that’s undeniable – and for anyone who’s truly passionate about sport there’s only one destination to watch it all – Foxtel.

Who’s This Plan For?

While the love of sport that runs deep through Australian TV has meant that there’s plenty to catch on traditional free-to-air TV most weekends of the year, for devoted fans of the many sporting codes that get us excited, it’s just not anywhere close to enough. Sport is all about being in the action live, of stating in the action without annoying breaks, and not missing a single game or match no matter what the day of the week or time of day.

Foxtel’s long been acclaimed for its sports channels, and with good reason – if you love sports of all persuasions, what you’ve been looking for is undoubtedly right here waiting for you, live and direct as it happens – all in crisp high definition.

Catch All the Top Sports

With a whole range of new seasons getting into gear – and the vast range of global sporting events back in full swing – there’s always something for the dedicated sports fan across the collection of channels in Foxtel’s Sport pack. Top drawcards among those channels are the trio of them that are dedicated to a single sport, 24 hours a day. Fox Footy got that ball rolling a few years back and has been a massive success, bringing every game of the AFL premiership to viewers, with no ads breaks during play. Fox League does the same, but for the exciting and action-packed NRL Telstra Premiership. And joining them as a fresh new option is Fox Cricket, which taps into Foxtel’s cast global resources to deliver live cricket from around Australia and the world, with everything from Test cricket to Big Bash League, and global T20 contests.

Alongside those channels, you’ll find coverage of everything from international tennis and golf, to the high-octane excitement of the Formula One Championship – with every race covered live and in full, including practice and qualifying. 2019 will see F1 coverage in 4K for the first time, as will the upcoming Rugby World Cup. And no matter what sport you keep your eye on – however big or small – you can count on Foxtel’s sport channels to have it there for you, ready to watch live as it happens.

How Much Does It Cost?

Access to all of the channels across the vast Foxtel sports universe alongside over 40 entertainment, news, music and doco channels is surprisingly affordable, coming in at only $68 per month on a 12-month plan. That gets you all the channels – plus HD where available, which includes each and every Foxtel sports channel. And as a Sports HD customer, you’ll also get bonus access to the brand new Foxtel 4K channel, which delivers flawless, ultra-high definition sport, movies, music and docos to your 4K-capable TV, via the new Foxtel iQ4 set top box (which is also included).

The Devices

As part of the Sport HD pack, you get Foxtel’s latest and most advanced set top box, the brand new iQ4. Built on the iQ tech that millions of Foxtel customers have enjoyed for many years, the iQ4 is a substantial upgrade with its blazingly fast interface and ability to receive full 4K channels direct from the satellite. If you’re still on a Foxtel cable connection, you’ll get the choice between the classic iQ3 or, if you prefer, the iQ2.

Watching the 4K Channel

Included at no extra cost with the Sport HD plan, Foxtel’s new 4K channel is Australia’s first ever broadcast 4K TV channel. Delivering perfect ultra HD picture quality straight from the satellite, it shows everything from movies, music and documentaries to, of course, live sport in crisp 4K. Among the sports set for 4K coverage in 2019 are the AFL, NRL, Rugby World Cup and the Formula One Grand Prix. All you need to view the 4K channel is an iQ4 box and a compatible TV.

Catch Up with Foxtel Go

Also included with the plan is access to Foxtel Go, the easy to use live and on-demand streaming service that delivers all your Foxtel channels to you no matter where you are – whether that’s on your mobile phone or at your computer. Foxtel Go can also be accessed as soon as you sign up – meaning you’ll be able to start streaming live sport even before the technician arrives to install your service!
