Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief The Foxtel Group and contact sports entertainment firm WWE have agreed a multi-year partnership that will see Foxtel’s portfolio of pay-TV and streaming brands become the exclusive home of WWE in Australia.
The move also deepens a relationship between WWE and the Murdoch family-controlled News Corp. Foxtel, a 65:35 joint venture between News Corp and Telstra, has long been Australia’s dominant pay-TV group and in recent years has branched out into sports streaming through the launch of Binge and Kayo, allowing it to claim over 4.5 million subscriptions.
The deal is an extension and expansion of a previous arrangement and includes several innovations. Binge will become the new streaming home of WWE Network in Australia from January 2023, with all WWE premium live events, including “Royal Rumble” and “WrestleMania 39,” and other entertainment content available with a Binge subscription, starting from A$10 ($6.44) per month.
WWE Network’s original programming and collection of archived content will be available on Binge. WWE will continue to be available to all Foxtel subscribers on both the FOX8 channel and on a new, dedicated WWE channel that launches in December 2022.
