Kayo has set a new high for Formula 1 viewing, with the 2025 season becoming the most streamed on the platform.
Viewers streamed 898 million minutes across the season, up 26% year on year.
The spike adds to audience lifts this year for AFL, NRL, Supercars and the Ashes Test.
The Spanish, Belgium, Abu Dhabi, Miami and British Grands Prix drew the strongest F1 audiences on Kayo.
Foxtel Group said the season was also the most watched across its broader platforms, Kayo, Foxtel, Foxtel GO and Foxtel Now, up 23%.
Foxtel Group commercial sport boss Adam Howarth said the tight championship race drove interest.
“What a ripper of a season with no clear champion until the final round,” Howarth said.
“We loved bringing every heart-stopping moment to Australians, and it’s clear they loved it too, flocking to our platforms across the season to follow every twist and turn and, of course, support home grown hero Oscar Piastri.
“We can’t wait to do it all again in 2026, where the stakes are higher with new drivers, new rules, a new track in Madrid, all delivered in 4K and ad-break free during racing.”
Foxtel Group reported four of the top five most watched F1 races of all time across its platforms came from the 2025 season, the Australian, Spanish, Chinese and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.
