Records have fallen across the Foxtel Group following a triumphant return to Las Vegas as fans flocked to Kayo Sports, Foxtel, Foxtel Now and BINGE to witness an action-packed weekend of rugby league.
With Fox League, on Kayo Sports and Foxtel, the only place to watch all four games of the rugby league extravaganza, coupled with Fox League’s comprehensive top tier coverage, Sunday 2 March was the most streamed day ever for the channel with 144 million minutes streamed.
Expanding the rugby league schedule to include an international women’s game and a Super League game saw the Jillaroos achieving their biggest audience ever across Foxtel and Kayo Sports in their victory over the Lionesses. The Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves game also soared to the top of the most watched Super League game of all time across Foxtel and Kayo Sports. The Penrith Panthers v Cronulla Sharks game was the most-watched game over the weekend, with the game also being the most watched regular season Panthers game ever across Foxtel Group.
Fox League’s comprehensive coverage, expert analysis, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content played a pivotal role in driving audience engagement and delivering an unparalleled viewing experience.
Fox Sports Managing Director Steve Crawley said: “Another great experience unique to the NRL. One day someone will come up with a better way to kick off a national competition but you wouldn’t want to be holding your breath. Amazing Las Vegas. Great games and an amalgamated crowd from around the world determined to have fun. Fox League is chuffed to have been able to present every minute of it to our customers.”
The record-breaking performance on Fox League, across Kayo Sports and Foxtel, reinforces its position as Australia's premier destination for live NRL, as the sport continues to grow and expand.
