SailGP has confirmed its diverse broadcast offering for Australian viewers, announcing renewed partnerships with Foxtel Group and SBS for the upcoming 2025 Season.

The partnership extensions come after another milestone season for SailGP, which recorded a total dedicated broadcast audience of more than 200 million across 212 territories around the globe. Significant further growth is expected in 2025 with the championship’s largest fleet to date 12 national teams, confirmed from January as well as the introduction of ‘game-changing’ T-Foils to supercharge the live racing experience.

When the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix | Sydney returns on February 8-9, Australian viewers will experience all of the action unfold on Sydney Harbour with SailGP’s award-winning broadcast available live on both Foxtel and Kayo Freebies via Kayo Sports, and on SBS and its free streaming service SBS On Demand.

The remainder of the highly anticipated 2025 Season –including the opening Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, presented by P&O Marinas, on November 23-24 – will be live on Foxtel and Kayo Freebies, with a dedicated highlights programme on SBS.

Global Head of Broadcast & Media, SailGP, Tom Gracey said: “We’re really excited to build on the success of last season by extending both of our hugely valuable local broadcast partnerships, giving Australian viewers greater access to SailGP for the 2025 Season. The KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix | Sydney is our longest standing event and just as our F50s continue to deliver a stunning spectacle on the iconic Sydney harbour, our Australian fans will be able to witness our industry leading broadcast on Fox Sports and SBS.”

Foxtel Group Head of Sport & Content Partnerships Nic Goard said: “We have a long-standing partnership with SailGP having brought all the high-speed and high-tech on water action from this exciting sailing competition to our premium audiences across Australia since its inception in 2019. We’re pleased to be renewing the partnership, working with them to elevate the profile of their competition and its athletes and giving Australians free and easy access to our coverage via Kayo Freebies.”

The KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix I Sydney will take place on February 8-9, 2025 with thousands of Australian fans expected to descend on Sydney Harbour to witness the Australia team compete against eleven rival nations. After an unbeaten three-year championship run, hometown heroes Tom Slingsby and the Flying Roos will be hoping for back-to-back home race victories as they seek redemption in 2025 having been pipped by Spain in last season’s Grand Final.
