If you’re wondering does Kayo have EPL, the short answer is: no. As of the 2025–26 season, Kayo Sports in Australia does not hold live or full broadcasting rights for the English Premier League (EPL). The exclusive rights were transferred to Stan Sport starting 1 August 2025.
Below, CicloKick will walk you through what this means, why the change happened, and how fans can still catch every EPL match without missing a kick.
What changed: EPL broadcasting rights in 2025
Since 2016, Optus Sport had the exclusive rights to show all live EPL matches in Australia. That ended in mid-2025.
Starting the 2025-26 season, Stan Sport, part of Nine Entertainment, became the exclusive streaming platform for EPL live matches and on-demand coverage.
Why Kayo doesn’t have the EPL any more
Kayo Sports is owned by Foxtel (now under broader corporate changes) and has lost many of the European/overseas rights it used to carry, because of how broadcast contracts are negotiated. Rights for major leagues often go to the highest bidder, and contracts are time‐limited. When Nine bought the EPL rights, they excluded Kayo, Kayo’s help pages explicitly mention that some content is unavailable because “our content providers do not have the rights to show that sport,” and EPL is named among those not available.
What Kayo does still offer for EPL fans
Even though Kayo has lost live EPL rights, there are some offerings that may interest fans:
- Highlights and mini-matches of some EPL games may still appear on Kayo.
- They continue streaming many other international and local leagues, and have a broad selection of sports. For those who follow multiple sports, Kayo can still be part of your streaming mix. ershopping.com.au)
But for full live EPL matches or every game, Stan Sport is now your go-to in Australia.
How to watch EPL live and legally now
CicloKick lays out your options if you want to follow EPL live:
- Stan Sport: As of the 2025-26 season, Stan Sport holds the full rights. All 380 matches will be available live and on demand.
- Channel 9 (select matches, free to air): Some EPL games may also be shown on free-to-air.
Subscription details: you’ll generally need a Stan subscription plus the Stan Sport add-on to access all EPL coverage.
What this means for fans
- If you had a Kayo subscription mainly for EPL, you’ll need to switch or add Stan Sport to keep watching all matches live.
- If you already watch, there’s likely no disruption. But double-check schedules.
- Costs have gone up somewhat due to the add-ons and subscription models. Serialized content and streaming rights drive pricing.
Conclusion
Does Kayo have EPL? No — Kayo Sports no longer offers live EPL matches starting with the 2025-26 season. Stan Sport is now Australia’s exclusive home for watching every Premier League match live and on demand.
If you’re an EPL fan, CicloKick recommends you subscribe to Stan Sport (plus the necessary package), check out any free-to-air match announcements on Channel 9, and keep an eye on highlight content from Kayo if that’s of interest.
