Get Kayo Sports on your TV by downloading the official app or casting directly from your smartphone. You have two main options: install the app on a supported Smart TV or streaming device, or use Chromecast or AirPlay to beam the video from your mobile device.

Method 1: Use the TV App (Recommended)

This method gives you the best experience and lets you use features like SplitView on supported devices. You will use your smartphone to authorize the TV.​

  1. Download the App: Go to the App Store or Google Play Store on your TV. Search for “Kayo Sports” and install it.​
  2. Open the App: Launch Kayo Sports on your TV. Select Sign In.
  3. Get the Code: Your TV screen displays a distinct QR code and a 6-to-8 digit activation code. Keep this screen open.​
  4. Activate on Mobile: Grab your smartphone or tablet. Open a web browser and go to kayo sports.com.au/connect.
  5. Enter Credentials: Log in to your Kayo Sports account on your phone if prompted.
  6. Connect: Enter the code displayed on your TV into the field on your phone.
  7. Watch: Your TV screen automatically refreshes. You can now browse and stream sports directly on the big screen.

Method 2: Cast from Your Phone

If your TV lacks a native app, use Chromecast or AirPlay. This method relies on your phone’s battery and Wi-Fi connection.​

Chromecast

  1. Check Wi-Fi: Connect your phone and your Chromecast device to the exact same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open App: Launch the Kayo Sports app on your iOS or Android phone.
  3. Find the Icon: Tap the Cast icon (a rectangle with Wi-Fi waves) located at the top right of the screen.
  4. Select Device: Choose your TV or Chromecast from the list.
  5. Play: Select a game or channel. The video plays on your TV while your phone acts as the remote.

Troubleshooting Playback Issues

Fix common problems quickly with these steps.

  • Reboot Router: Unplug your modem and router for 30 seconds. Plug them back in to refresh your connection.
  • Update App: Check your TV’s app store for pending updates to the Kayo Sports app. Outdated versions crash often.
  • Check Speed: You need at least 5Mbps for HD streaming. Run a speed test on your phone while standing next to the TV.
  • Force Stop: If the app freezes, go to your TV settings, find Apps, select Kayo, and choose Force Stop. Relaunch the app.
  • Re-pair: If the activation code fails, close the app on the TV and generate a new code. Codes expire quickly for security.

Managing Your Account

You cannot sign up for a new account directly on the TV app. You must create your account and purchase a subscription via a web browser on your computer or mobile device first. Once your subscription is active, use the kayosports.com.au/connect steps above to link your TV.​

Manage your devices in the settings menu on the website. Kayo allows you to register multiple devices, but simultaneous streams depend on your specific subscription tier (usually two or three screens at once).
