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.
Peter O’Connell became Chief Executive Officer of Foxtel Group on September 15, 2026, reporting to Patrick Delany. Delany simultaneously assumed leadership of the global operations for sports streaming giant DAZN, leveraging his expertise for a significant overhaul at the UK-based streaming group, while also continuing as Foxtel Group chairman. This development followed O’Connell’s confirmation as CEO on September 14, effective immediately, concurrent with Delany’s appointment as DAZN Group Chief Operating Officer and Foxtel Group chairman. O’Connell, an experienced telecommunications executive and former Amaysim chief executive, had served as an Australian-based independent Director of the Foxtel Group since its acquisition by DAZN in 2025. Earlier, on September 8, reports indicated Delany's impending move from his Foxtel Group CEO role to DAZN's chief operating officer position in London, with O’Connell, then a company board member, named as his successor.
