Kayo Extends F1 Deal, Fans Disappointed

Formula 1 has extended its broadcasting agreement with Kayo Sports in Australia, disappointing fans who wanted Apple TV or more affordable options.

Formula 1 has extended its broadcasting agreement with Kayo Sports in Australia through 2027 and beyond, a decision that has disappointed many fans. The extension comes just before this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, with viewers expressing frustration over pricing and preferring alternatives like Apple TV, which holds F1 rights in the United States.

Australian fans have taken to social media to complain about Kayo's pricing, with basic plans at $29.99 monthly and premium at $45.99. Many predict future price hikes and have called for more affordable options or a switch to other platforms. Despite the complaints, the Australian GP will continue to be broadcast free by Network 10.
