Foxtel, a privately owned company headquartered in Australia, is a tier 1 media tech buyer and operates as a subsidiary of DAZN Group. Established in 1995 as a joint venture between News Corp and Telstra, the company employs approximately 2,530 individuals and reported $2.0 billion in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a subscription media and television broadcasting business, it underwent a structural transition following its US$2.2 billion corporate acquisition by DAZN in April 2025, integrating the company into a UK-headquartered digital framework while maintaining its localized operations. Shifting from legacy linear cable networks, Foxtel specializes in distributing a portfolio of premium sports, drama, and news content via direct-to-home satellite technology and cloud-based internet protocol (IPTV) systems. Its consumer ecosystem services over 4.7 million subscribers through multiple specialized delivery storefronts, including its satellite hardware interface (iQ5), dedicated live-sports engine (Kayo Sports), entertainment-focused streaming layout (BINGE), and its centralized device aggregation platform (Hubbl). Commercially, Foxtel sustains its revenue model through multi-tier consumer subscription tiers, premium high-definition packaging, and targeted B2B digital programmatic advertising handled by its media sales arm, Foxtel Media.
