Foxtel, a privately owned company headquartered in Australia, is a tier 1 media tech buyer and operates as a subsidiary of DAZN Group. Established in 1995 as a joint venture between News Corp and Telstra, the company employs approximately 2,530 individuals and reported $2.0 billion in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a subscription media and television broadcasting business, it underwent a structural transition following its US$2.2 billion corporate acquisition by DAZN in April 2025, integrating the company into a UK-headquartered digital framework while maintaining its localized operations. Shifting from legacy linear cable networks, Foxtel specializes in distributing a portfolio of premium sports, drama, and news content via direct-to-home satellite technology and cloud-based internet protocol (IPTV) systems. Its consumer ecosystem services over 4.7 million subscribers through multiple specialized delivery storefronts, including its satellite hardware interface (iQ5), dedicated live-sports engine (Kayo Sports), entertainment-focused streaming layout (BINGE), and its centralized device aggregation platform (Hubbl). Commercially, Foxtel sustains its revenue model through multi-tier consumer subscription tiers, premium high-definition packaging, and targeted B2B digital programmatic advertising handled by its media sales arm, Foxtel Media.
On September 8, 2026, Foxtel Group announced a leadership change, confirming that CEO Patrick Delany will relocate to London to take on the chief operating officer role at its parent company DAZN. Peter O’Connell, who sits on Foxtel’s board and is the chairman of challenger telecommunications brand Superloop and luxury car retailer Autosports Group, will replace Delany as CEO. Previously, on September 4, 2026, Foxtel selected Netherlands-based broadcast technology company BCNEXXT’s cloud-native playout platform Vipe to power operations across 38 channels. This deployment replaces fixed-resource playout infrastructure with a software-defined architecture that dynamically allocates cloud resources. Earlier, on September 3, 2026, Delany addressed questions concerning the Dazn brand, which had begun to erase Foxtel branding, during the company’s upfront event in Sydney. On the same day, Kayo Sports and Foxtel extended their partnership to broadcast every round of the MotoGP World Championship in Australia under a new multi-year agreement commencing in 2027, maintaining comprehensive live and high-definition coverage.
