How to stream F1 on Kayo Sports in Australia

We may earn a commission when you sign up through our links. How we make money.

Kayo Sports is the simplest way to stream Formula 1 in Australia. It shows every practice session, qualifying session and race live, plus on-demand replays and F1 Minis, and it needs no TV aerial, set-top box or contract. This guide is about the streaming itself: what you get, which plan to pick, how to sign up and what to do if the race is on while you are asleep. For the calendar, the champion and the rights deals, see our F1 season guide, and for this weekend's start times see the next F1 race in Australian time.

What F1 on Kayo includes

Foxtel Group renewed its Formula 1 deal in March 2026 with a multi-year extension, and Kayo's 2027 line-up (announced on 3 September 2026) says every Formula 1 practice, qualifying session and race will be available live and on demand. From the March 2026 announcement:

• Every session live. Kayo carries every F1 race, qualifying session and practice session.
• Ad-break free racing. Foxtel Group says racing is shown ad-break free, so you do not lose laps to the adverts.
• 4K races. Foxtel Group says every race is live in 4K for Kayo subscribers. The release carries a footnote we could not read, so check at sign-up which plan and which device you need for 4K.
• Unique live feeds and F1 Minis. Extra live feeds and the condensed replays called F1 Minis are part of the deal.

The only F1 race you can watch for free is the Australian Grand Prix, which Network 10 shows live, and the 2027 race is on 2-4 April. Everything else is on Kayo and Foxtel.

Which Kayo plan do you need for F1?

Both plans show F1. They differ in price, picture quality and how many screens can stream at once, so choose by how many people will watch at the same time. These are the plans on file today.

Our plan listing says the Standard plan streams on one device and the Premium plan on two, and that the Premium plan offers 4K. Kayo changes plan names, prices and the free trial from time to time, so confirm everything on the sign-up page. To see how the plans compare read Kayo Basic vs Premium and how much Kayo costs, or see whether you can get Kayo through your phone or internet provider in do you get Kayo with Telstra. New customers are listed with a 7-day free trial in our offer listing, which you can check on the Kayo free trial page.

How to start streaming F1 on Kayo

1. Pick a plan in the table above and press the Kayo button on this page.
2. Create your account and add a payment method. Kayo plans are listed as no-contract, so you can cancel at any time (how to cancel Kayo).
3. Open Kayo on your phone, computer or TV and find Formula 1.
4. Choose the session you want. Races, qualifying and practice are listed live, and replays and Minis appear after the session.

Features that matter on race weekends

Our plan listings describe these Kayo features:

• SplitView: watch up to four videos on one screen, on selected devices, so you can follow the race while a second session or another sport plays.
• No Spoilers: hide results and scores until you have watched, which is useful when the race starts at 4am and you watch it at breakfast.
• Key moments and F1 Minis for short catch-ups.

Kayo's other motorsport coverage, with the same plan, includes V8 Supercars and MotoGP, so one subscription covers the Sandown 500, the Qatar MotoGP and the São Paulo Grand Prix this weekend. Our guide to Kayo Minis explains the replays.

Watching F1 when the race is overnight

Most races are overnight in Australia. The São Paulo Grand Prix starts at 4am on Monday 9 November in Sydney and Melbourne, and Las Vegas falls on a Sunday in Australia. Two ways to cope: turn on No Spoilers and watch the full replay later, or watch the F1 Minis for the highlights. Foxtel Group's announcement of the renewed deal names F1 Minis and unique live feeds as part of Kayo's offer.

Devices

Kayo has supported phones and tablets (the Kayo app), computers through a web browser, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV and Android TV, Chromecast, many Samsung, LG, Hisense and other smart TVs, and PlayStation consoles. This list is carried over from the earlier version of this guide and we could not read Kayo's current help page on 5 November 2026, so check Kayo's supported devices and Kayo's own list before you buy, in particular for the models that cannot use SplitView.

Kayo or Foxtel?

Foxtel's Fox Sports channels carry the same F1 coverage, and Foxtel Group says Foxtel subscribers can watch all Kayo coverage as well. Foxtel Group also announced on 3 September 2026 that in 2027 the Fox Sports channels become Kayo SPORTS channels, and it has not yet published the new channel numbers. If you already have Foxtel, you do not need a second subscription. If you do not, Kayo is the lower-commitment option. See our Foxtel guide, the Fox Sports channels and the Fox Sports 506 guide.

What else to watch on Kayo after the race

• Golf
• Football
• Boxing
• UFC
• Sports streaming in Australia

What changed on this page

This guide used to describe the 2024 season and old Kayo plans named One and Basic. It was rewritten on 5 November 2026 against Foxtel Group's F1 and Kayo announcements, and the plans table now comes from the plans we have on file for Kayo.
