Foxtel Upfronts: Foxtel Media officially becomes DAZN Media+

The event on Thursday evening follows this morning’s Breakfast on BINGE, where Foxtel and BINGE made a number of programming announcements for 2027 and beyond.

The rebrand follows DAZN’s acquisition of the Foxtel Group in 2025, with DAZN Media+ now representing the advertising interests of Kayo SPORTS, BINGE, Foxtel and Foxtel Go.

The 2027 Upfronts saw DAZN Media+ announce new offerings including Sports Audience Graph, independent cross-media measurement, an AI-powered Sales Agent, Club Kayo and a new in-stadium advertising partnership.

Sports Audience Graph puts fan data to work

DAZN Media+ has unveiled Sports Audience Graph, a new database based on first-party data from six million sports fans, built since Kayo SPORTS launched in 2018.

The system combines Kayo viewing behaviour with club membership, transaction data, demographics and brand affinity, allowing advertisers to target audiences based on their sporting interests and purchasing behaviour.

Sports Audience Graph will be available to agency and brand partners from 2027.

Independent measurement across streaming and linear TV

A new partnership with AudienceProject will give advertisers a single view of campaign reach and frequency across Kayo SPORTS, BINGE, Foxtel Go and linear TV.

The system will combine campaign delivery data with AudienceProject’s independent audience panel, allowing advertisers to measure demographics, co-viewing, audience overlap and the incremental reach delivered by streaming platforms.

The measurement solution will be available to DAZN Media+ clients from 2027.

AI-powered media buying

DAZN Media+ is also introducing an AI-powered Sales Agent, designed to give advertisers and agencies faster access to available inventory, pricing, audiences and live campaign data.

The system will allow buyers to discover inventory, refine proposals and confirm buys through a more automated process, with the AI-powered endpoint expected to go live in 2027.

Club Kayo

Club Kayo will bring together dedicated creator teams covering AFL, NRL, Cricket and Motorsport, producing recurring content and reacting to major moments across the sporting calendar.

The initiative is designed to give brands opportunities to connect with sports audiences beyond the live broadcast through creator-led formats and communities.

Into the stadium

DAZN Media+ has also partnered with SureVision, giving advertisers access to in-stadium opportunities including perimeter signage, scoreboards and wayfinding.

The deal covers venues including the Gabba and 4 Pines Park, with DAZN Media+ becoming the principal partner for SureVision’s 2027 in-stadium assets.
