Summer is here and that means lots of sport is being played including many Cricket Matches. If you signup by December 13th you can watch Kayo Sports for 2 months spending only $5 total.
Before you signup though, it’s best to check if your TV, games console or streaming device has the Kayo app, otherwise, you’ll have to watch on your phone or tablet which is not as nice as a big screen sports experience.
Choose the convenient way to watch Kayo cricket matches at home and create a comfortable cricket viewing experience for yourself, or custom lapel pins for yourself to create a live-like viewing atmosphere and a strong fun experience.
Which devices don’t support Kayo
First of all if a Fetch Box, Xbox or an Amazon Fire TV stick are the only live streaming app enabled devices connected to your TV then you can’t watch Kayo on them.
The Kayo website advises that unfortunately, they do not support Kayo on Xbox at the present time. They expect to be able to support Kayo on this platform in the near future.
They also advised me at this stage there are “no plans to expand Kayo to Amazon streaming devices”, which includes Fire TV Sticks and Echo Show smart displays.
Regarding Fetch Mighty and Mini boxes I would be amazed if Foxtel ever enabled Kayo for these devices because Fetch and Foxtel are direct competitors in the streaming subscription TV set top box space.
Foxtel does it’s best to try and reduce Fetch channels/content eg: recently making a deal with CNN so Foxtel devices and services are the only way to watch CNN live in Australia. Before that CNN was available as a subscription channel on Fetch and Foxtel.

I have the Kayo Sports app, $5 per month 1st year Telstra deal, which is great for watching AFL (or ARL etc). Unfortunately it runs out in March 2022 and I’m not that interested in the cricket so I cancelled it last week. I’m not interested in sports enough to spend $25 per month. It is a great app though, and sharing it with family works well. It would make a great Christmas present as you can share screens with 2 or 3 people. It also states that it is 2 (or 3 depending on the plan) screens at the… Read more »
Sounds like you’ve got everything sorted to share accounts and cut costs
You can sideload the Kayo APK to a firestick and it works fine. I use it several times a week. Just use the Downloadr app.
Good tip for people like you and me who know what an APK is. I wish Foxtel would enable the Kayo Binge etc apps on Amazon’s Fire TV store officially for normal people who don’t know about APK’s and sideloading
I agree, if Kayo was allowed on the firestick , i would get rid of my Foxtel.
I know nothing about sideloading, but may have to research it.
Kayo Sports works perfectly on Fire TV by sideloading the Android TV apk.
Used downloader to install the Kayo Sports for Android TV apk to the firestick
