Foxtel admits defeat in the football streaming battle, cancelling BeIn Sports deal
Football fans in Australia will no longer have access to some of the world’s top domestic competitions on Foxtel and Kayo, as the company has canceled its syndication deal with Qatari-owned BeIn Sports.
The move signals a further fragmentation of the sport’s broadcast rights in Australia, as Kayo’s 1.3 million subscribers will no longer have access to any football coverage as of 1 July.

So Foxtel will reduce prices no doubt. In which universe is netball a ‘growing’ sport.
