F1 Kayo Deal Disappoints Aussie Fans

Formula 1's extended broadcasting deal with Kayo Sports has drawn criticism from Australian fans who expressed disappointment over the continued exclusivity and pricing.

Australian Formula 1 fans have expressed frustration after Kayo Sports extended its broadcasting agreement with the sport through 2027 and beyond. The decision comes ahead of this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, with many viewers taking to social media to voice their displeasure, with some calling for Apple TV to secure the rights instead.

Fans have cited concerns over Kayo's pricing structure, with basic plans starting at $29.99 monthly and premium at $45.99. Many described the service as 'prohibitively expensive,' making it difficult for younger fans to start watching. The Australian GP will continue to be available for free on Network 10.
