Kayo Sports does not run one standing free trial for every new customer any more, so be wary of any page that promises "7 days free" without a date on it. This guide, checked on 5 November 2026, sets out what we could confirm about Kayo trials and first-month offers, what Kayo costs after any offer, and the genuinely free ways to try Kayo or Foxtel's Fox Sports channels.
Is there a Kayo free trial in November 2026?
Not as a standing offer, and not one we can confirm. Finder's Kayo review, updated on 21 October 2026, says Kayo "no longer offers a traditional free trial for all new customers", and its comparison table lists no free trial for either plan. The same page says eligible new customers can often get a 7-day trial or the first month for $1, and its Premium listing reads "$1 for the first month, then $45.99/mth. T&Cs apply."
Two things follow from that:
- A $1 first month on Premium was being advertised to eligible new customers when Finder updated its page. Kayo's own site would not load for our checks, so we could not confirm it, its end date or who qualifies. Read the terms on Kayo's sign-up page before you enter card details.
- A 7-day free trial is something older pages (including earlier versions of this one) described. We found no current confirmation of it from Kayo, so do not count on it.
Kayo's offers change often and are usually limited to new or returning customers, so the only reliable check is the offer shown on Kayo's sign-up page on the day.
What Kayo costs after any offer
Kayo announced its current prices in January 2026, effective 5 February 2026:
| Plan | Price | Streams and quality |
|---|---|---|
| Kayo Standard | $29.99 a month | 1 stream, HD |
| Kayo Premium | $45.99 a month ($506.89 a year on Finder's listing) | 2 streams, 4K on select events |
Standard fell by a single cent from $30 and Premium rose from $40. Both are month-to-month with no lock-in contract. The plans were renamed in March 2025, when Kayo One became Kayo Standard and Kayo Basic became Kayo Premium, so older articles that talk about "Kayo One" and "Kayo Basic" mean these two. For the full comparison see our Kayo Standard vs Premium guide, the Kayo price guide and our Kayo plans comparison.
Ways to try sport for free (or close to it)
- Kayo Freebies. Foxtel Group says Kayo Freebies gives a selection of live sports, documentaries and classic match replays in front of the paywall. Anyone can use it by downloading the Kayo app and creating an account. It also streams some matches from local, grassroots leagues. See our guide to Kayo Freebies.
- Foxtel Now's 10-day free trial. Foxtel's own page says all new Foxtel Now customers are eligible for a 10-day free trial of any bundle, one trial per customer, after which the first monthly payment is billed. Its Sports + Movies ($84 a month) and Ultimate bundles include over 50 sports live, with channels for AFL, NRL, golf, Formula 1, Supercars and more. Foxtel's Ultimate offer of $65 a month for 12 months, for new and reactivating customers, ends on 28 December 2026. See our Foxtel Now packages comparison.
- Free-to-air. The grand finals and selected AFL and NRL matches each week are on Seven and Nine, so check our sport guide before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Does Kayo have a free trial?
Not as a standing offer that we can confirm. Finder, updated on 21 October 2026, says Kayo no longer offers a traditional free trial for all new customers, though eligible new customers can often get a short trial or a $1 first month. We could not load Kayo's own site to check, so look at the offer on the sign-up page on the day.

Finder's Premium listing, updated on 21 October 2026, reads $1 for the first month, then $45.99 a month, with terms and conditions. We could not confirm the end date or who qualifies, so read the terms on Kayo's sign-up page.
