Kayo shows every cricket match Australia plays at home this summer, every Big Bash League (BBL) and Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) match, the India Tests and the Sheffield Shield. It costs $29.99 a month on Standard or $45.99 on Premium, and Kayo's own page shows no traditional free trial. Seven and 7plus show the Tests and 34 of the 44 BBL|16 matches free, so Kayo is the paid way to get the England ODIs and T20Is from Friday 13 November, the India Tests, the 10 BBL matches Seven does not have and the rest.

What cricket is on Kayo this summer?

  • Every men's international Australia plays at home: the England ODIs and T20Is in November and December, the four Tests against New Zealand from 9 December and the 150th Anniversary Test against England in March. Foxtel Group says every ball of the summer's internationals, India included, is live on Kayo.
  • Every BBL|16 and WBBL|12 match: 44 BBL matches from 12 December to 26 January and 43 WBBL matches that finish on 5 December.
  • The India Tests: five Tests from 21 January, all starting at 3pm AEDT.
  • Women's internationals: the three ODIs against New Zealand in March are on Seven, 7plus, Foxtel and Kayo.
  • Sheffield Shield and One-Day Cup: every ball is streamed live on Kayo, cricket.com.au and the CA Live app.

How much is Kayo for cricket?

Cricket is in the base plan, so there is no cricket add-on. Prices were published on 21 October 2026, so check the figure Kayo shows you.

Is there a Kayo free trial?

Not in the traditional sense. Kayo's own page shows no free trial, and older pages (including earlier versions of this one) that advertise a 7-day trial are out of date. Kayo's homepage on 21 October showed an introductory offer on Premium of $1 for the first month, then $45.99 a month, with terms and conditions. Offers change, so check the offer at sign-up before you commit.

Who should pay for Kayo for cricket?

Pay if you want:

  • the England ODIs and T20Is (13 November to 2 December), which are on Kayo and Foxtel only
  • the India Tests (21 January to 3 March)
  • all of BBL|16, including the 10 matches not on Seven
  • the 20 WBBL|12 matches Seven does not have
  • the Shield, live and on demand

Do not pay if you only want: the four Tests against New Zealand, the 150th Anniversary Test, all women's home internationals, 34 of 44 BBL|16 matches or 23 of 43 WBBL|12 matches. All are free on Seven and 7plus. Our guide to Australia men's cricket free and paid has the full list.

Fox Cricket is becoming Kayo Cricket in 2027

Trade reports say Foxtel's Fox Cricket channel will be renamed Kayo Cricket in 2027. No month has been given, and Foxtel Group's own summer releases still say Fox Cricket, so we use that name. See our Fox Cricket guide for what the channel shows.
