Kayo Minis - Bite-Sized Sport Replays for Busy People!

If there’s one thing most of us just can’t seem to get enough of these days, it’s free time. We’re working longer hours, we’re travelling more and we’re spending lots of time connecting with friends (thanks, technology!) And if you’re like millions of Australian sports fans, you’re grateful to have that mobile device at hand for those times when you can’t be at home in front of the TV to catch your team’s game, or to take in the nail-biting final round of US Open golf or ATP tennis.

But there’s a small problem with catching up with sports while you’re out and about - a lot of the time, you simply don’t have a few hours to yourself to sit back and take in the match. You want to get a feel for the excitement, rhythm and pace of the game but you’ve only got 15 minutes on your lunch break rather than a couple of hours. If only there was a solution that worked better than manually fast-forwarding through the replay while keeping an eye out for the good bits.

Kayo Sports Live and On Demand

The arrival of Kayo Sports has already been embraced by fans for a huge range of reasons. You get access to a whole planet’s worth of sport - streaming live or on demand - and a bunch of ground-breaking interactive features including seamless split-screen playback and live, interactive statistics as the game takes place.

And especially handy for those sports that take place overseas while you’re sleeping - every tennis fan knows what we’re talking about - is the way Kayo makes it easy to watch your favourite sport on your own schedule. If you can’t be around for the live stream, you can jump in and watch the game later as though it was live. There’s even a “no spoilers” setting so you’re guaranteed to not find out the result before you see the game.

Having access to these high-quality replays on demand is one of the best things about Kayo. But if you’re trying to get caught up with a game while you’re on the way to work on the train in the morning, you probably don’t have the two hours to spare to see out the entire match. That’s where Kayo Minis come in.

Meet the Kayo Mini

The Kayo Mini is such a brilliant idea, we’re surprised nobody’s thought of doing it before. The concept is simple - and if we were going to compare it to anything, it’d be those condensed versions of books that Readers Digest puts out, or a longer form of the “previously” recaps before an episode of Game of Thrones.

As soon as the event has finished, Kayo’s crack team goes to work assembling a custom condensed version of the match, running minutes rather than hours. But it’s different from your usual “highlights reel” - or even going through the Key Moments (another great Kayo interactive feature) in the full game. The Kayo Mini aims to give you a game with a start, middle and end, with all the highlights and all the highs and lows that made the game the journey it was.

Mini Sports

Currently, there are several sporting codes that are being given the Kayo Mini treatment, as Kayo works on expanding and refining the concept. The eventual goal is to have what could be called “dynamic” Kayo Minis, where you could pick the length you want your Mini to be. That way, you could perfectly tailor your game catch-up to the spare time you’ve got.

Cricket

If ever there was a perfect game for Kayo Minis to cover, cricket is it. With even the shorter forms of cricket making for an extended viewing session, the Mini is set to make your cricket catch up viewing nice and easy. Taking one example - a One Day International between Australia and Pakistan ran for a solid 8 and a half hours, all available to stream live on Kayo in its entirety if you want, of course. But if you’d prefer not to lose an entire day to a cricket replay, the Kayo Mini version takes you through all of it in a fast-flowing 22 minutes. Currently, Australian men’s and women’s cricket matches are covered by Minis, with more to come, which should be extremely hand for any late evening cricket matches that will be airing.

Rugby League

Kayo is the best place to watch all things League, whether it's every game from every round of NRL Live, or selected matches from the Super League. With Kayo you get all the same content as you would with Fox Sports, meaning excellent pre and post-game shows like NRL 360 and The Late Show with Matty Johns.

Football

The best football in the world has an official home in Australia via Kayo. As well as every game from every round of A-League, you can watch some of the best players in the world performing in leagues and competitions like the English FA Cup, La Liga in Spain, Serie A in Italy as well as English Premier League Replays.

Supercars

Australia's biggest motorsport competition, the Supercars Championship hosts 15 exciting races around the country - and one in New Zealand - every season, and now you can ensure you don't miss out on any of it. Every race throughout the 2023 season is available as a Kayo Mini, meaning if you missed out on the Bathurst 1000 or simply want to relive Scott McLaughlin winning yet another race, there is an easy solution.

F1

How Do You Find Kayo Minis?

If you’re searching through Kayo for the section where all the Kayo Minis live, you’re doing it wrong - the idea here is to integrate them into each match’s dedicated page. So when you head to a match in one of the sports above, you’ll see below the main replay window there’s an option to play the Kayo Mini version of the game.

Will There Be More Minis?

Less than a couple of years into its life, Kayo Sports has proved to be massively popular with the sport-loving public - and when it comes to features, the Kayo team is only just warming up. Already the likes of the Key Moments feature - which lets you skip back or forwards to the most important moments in a given match - are contributing massively to Kayo's rising popularity. And they aren't finished - there’s a huge range of expanded and new features coming to Kayo over the coming months and further into the future, and expanded Kayo Mini coverage looks certain to be a candidate for expansion.

Imagine being able to catch up with an entire day of a PGA golf tournament in your choice of 10, 20 or 30 minutes. That’s very much on the cards (we believe test Minis have been done for golf events already) and it’d be a phenomenal thing to have around.

And of course, the AFL with its breakneck pace and endless action would be perfect for Kayo Minis. We’d be pretty sure that AFL support is not too far away - it is, after all, one of the biggest sports in the nation in terms of following and viewership!

Getting Started with Kayo

If you haven’t yet given Kayo a try, and the idea of having a world of high definition sports at your command sounds like an awesome concept, then now’s the time to check it out. Kayo offers a full one weeks access free of charge so you can stream anything and everything to your heart’s content - including Kayo Minis - and then it’s only $25 a month for full access and the ability to watch on two screens simultaneously, with no extra costs for anything. To be able to watch on three screens at once that price is bumped up to $35/month, but whichever package you choose you'll be able to access the Minis.

If you love your sports, we think you’re gonna want your Kayo around.
