I’m only interested in watching golf , what is the cheapest way/package for me please?
Hi Lea,
If you’re only interested in watching the golf you’ll need a package that has Fox Sports which is only available in the Sports pack.
Foxtel IQ’s Sports pack costs at minimum $74/month. As it’s mandatory to also have a subscription to Foxtel Plus which is $49/month. Currently they’re advertising a special for Sports HD & Kids for $64/month. This service runs via satellite.
Your next choice is getting Fox Sports via Foxtel Now. Like Foxtel IQ you can’t just get the Sports pack. You’ll also need the Foxtel Essentials package which is $25/month. Once you add on the sports pack $25/month you’ll be up for $54 each month. There’s also a 10-day free trial.
The cheapest option is Kayo Sports. Kayo has all of the sports content on Foxtel and more. Like Foxtel Now it works via the internet. Kayo costs $25/month and allows you to stream to 2 devices at once. There’s also a 14-day free trial available if you’re a new customer.
If you’d like a further breakdown you may find our how to watch golf guide helpful. Otherwise please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
Cheers,
Aaron

Thanks,
Aaron
I like watching World Superbike races live and World Motorcycle grand Prix races as well as some AFL football What package should I look at getting.
Hi Vern,
If your heart is set on Foxtel then your best bet is the Foxtel Sports HD Pack which runs via satellite. This costs $74/month plus set-up costs. However, right now you can get it for $59/month if you sign up for 12 months and they’ll waive installation costs too.
There’s also Foxtel Now which gets you the same channels as Foxtel, except it runs via the Internet not satellite. This option is slightly cheaper $54/month, but doesn’t have a set-up cost or lock in contract and has a AFL, World Superbikes and MotoGP that you’re after you might be better off with Kayo Sports which is 14-day free trial to get you started. We’ve got a
Colin
Can I get foxtel without internet on my tv
Hi Colin,
Yes, you can get Foxtel on your TV without requiring an internet connection. To do so you’ll need to take up a subscription with Foxtel, packages start from $49/month, but you may also incur installation costs. Foxtel operates via satellite.
Cheers,
Aaron
During COVID19 we had extra channels at no extra cost due to there being no sport to watch..this offer was only until 30th June. How much would it cost to continue with these extra channels but excluding movies? I tried to phone but to no avail. No one wants to speak these days!
Hey Jennifer,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with Foxtel.
Before I can calculate the cost of adding the extra channels, can you please let me know the current package you’re subscribed to?
Cheers
Aaron
I have a friend who has foxtel sports and is very happy and gets a few movies thrown in can you tell me how much a month this will cost and installing fee
Hi Terry,
For Foxtel you have two options either Foxtel IQ or Foxtel Now.
Right now you can sign up to Foxtel IQ with sports and movies packs included for $75/month for the first 12 months, on a yearly contract. Foxtel are also currently waiving the set-top box and connection fees for this bundle.
If you don’t want to be locked into a contract the cost is $94/month for sports and movies, plus $150 for the IQ4 box and $35 for a connection fee. Both of these options also include the mandatory subscription for the Foxtel Plus pack which has 54 live channels.
On Foxtel Now this will cost you $64/month for sports and movies. That also includes the mandatory $25/month Essentials base pack that contains a mix of Pop and Lifestyle channels. Foxtel Now has a no-lock in contract or installation fee. Though, it’s important to remember that Foxtel Now is streamed via the internet, so you will need a plan with sufficient data.
Otherwise if it’s purely Foxtel sports and movies that you’re after you could consider their other services Kayo Sports and BINGE. Both of these are streamed via the internet like Foxtel Now and are free to set-up. Kayo has the exact same sports content as Foxtel, while BINGE has hundreds of Foxtel movies, TV shows and live channels. Kayo Sports starts at $25/month and BINGE is available from just $10/month.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Cheers,
Aaron
How do I get English premier league soccer? I can not find it anywhere.
Hi John,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. 😃
I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re having.
Regarding your question, John, I’m afraid The exclusive rights to broadcast the English Premier League (EPL) lie with Optus Sport, an online live stream and on-demand service. Thankfully, Optus Sport is available to every Aussie. It is a subscription streaming service covering every facet of the English Premier League. By signing up, you’ll get access to every match of the season streamed live, and the majority of the games available on-demand, to a variety of mobile and non-mobile devices.
If you want to know more about how to watch EPL, please read this article. On that page, you will also know more about how to watch EPL, the cost that comes with it, and how to sign up, and others.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
I have been a telstra foxtel customer for over 19 years. I do not have a current contract with Telstra. I wish to move to your foxtel plus and add the sports package. I have been informed by telstra that if I close my account with them I cannot open an account with foxtel for 3 months as this is a foxtel instruction. Is this statement correct.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comment and I hope you are doing well.
Rather than closing the account, you can choose to migrate to Foxtel. Telstra should be able to do the migration instantly and you will need to call Telstra to process this request.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
How do I transfer my Foxtel to a new property address? I have tried calling but the wait time is very long and I can’t find anything about it online. What is the best way for me to get this sorted?
Hi Shelley,
Thanks for getting in touch! I’m sorry to hear you can’t reach out to Foxtel in their customer service line. As per Foxtel, you can take your existing Foxtel TV service, packages and any remaining fixed term with you when you move home as long as you’re moving to an address where Foxtel can provide the service. Even if you’re moving from a cable to a satellite area or vice versa, they’ll provide you with a new set-top box for the different service type. In very rare cases, they may not be able to provide you with a satellite or cable TV service at your new address and they’ll need to disconnect your service. However, in this scenario you won’t need to pay an Early Termination Fee even if you’re still in contact with Foxtel.
Foxtel broadband and home phone are provided on the Telstra network, and some homes may not be connected to this network. If you move to a new address where Foxtel can’t provide you with broadband and home phone services, they’ll need to disconnect your Foxtel broadband and home phone service. In this scenario, you won’t need to pay an Early Termination Fee even if you’re still in contract with Foxtel.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
