Kayo SPORTS has extended its broadcast agreement with Sail GP in a new multi-year deal.
Kayo has been the official broadcast partner of the global sailing sport since 2019.
Under the renewed deal, fans can continue to watch every race of the Rolex SailGP Championship live and on demand on Kayo SPORTS and Foxtel.
“Our partnership with SailGP has gone from strength to strength over the past six years, driven by a shared vision to bring Australian audiences closer to the action of the sports they love,” said Marissa Banu-Lawrence, Foxtel Group head of content acquisitions.
“Together, we’ve grown SailGP’s presence in Australia, connecting audiences closely to the speed, skill, and spectacle of the Championship through our coverage on Kayo SPORTS.
“With the inaugural Perth Sail Grand Prix set to launch the 2026 Championship season, our renewed partnership will continue to build on that momentum as we look to connect even more fans to all the action of the world’s fastest race on water.”
SailGP CEO and co-founder Sir Russell Coutts, recognised the partnership with Kayo as instrumental to help growing the sport's audience in Australia.
“Kayo Sports has been an incredible partner, working alongside us from the beginning,” he said.
“They have helped showcase the speed, spectacle and emotion of SailGP to Australian audiences as we continue to build one of the most passionate fan bases in the world.
“Australia remains a flagship market for SailGP, with events in Perth and Sydney and a team that embodies the competitiveness and spirit that define our league.
"We’re thrilled to continue this partnership with Kayo SPORTS and can’t wait to see the energy that the inaugural Oracle Perth Sail Grand Prix presented by KPMG will bring to the new season.”
The 2026 Season will open with the inaugural Oracle Perth Sail Grand Prix from January 17 to 18 and the KPMG Sydney Sail Grand Prix from February 28 to March 1.
