Foxtel-owned sport streaming service Kayo has confirmed a price rise for customers on its most popular plan.
From the start of February, all new and existing Kayo customers will have to pay an increased price of $30 per month for the Kayo Basic package.
The Kayo Basic plan allows customers to watch two simultaneous HD streams. Previously the plan was priced at $27.50 per month. Pricing for the streamer’s two other options Kayo One ($25) and Kayo Premium ($35) remain unchanged.
The cost increase for Kayo comes after the streamer has recently renegotiated massive new costly broadcast deals for high-profile sports including the AFL and Australian Cricket.
But it also comes at a time when the sport streamer is facing increased competition from rivals such as Stan, Optus and Paramount+ whom all desperate to secure content. Kayo has also received criticism for its failure to introduce 4K broadcast technology.
From 2024, Kayo will also face increased competition with Channel 7 securing the rights to stream live AFL and Cricket on its free, ad-supported streaming platform 7plus.
