COOLANGATTA, Queensland / AUS (Friday, January 12, 2024) - Foxtel Group and the World Surf League (WSL) have announced an expanded broadcast partnership that will see all 2024 WSL Championship Tour (CT) events broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo Sports. In addition to this, all Challenger Series events, as well as the Bells Beach Longboard Classic, will be streamed live on Kayo Sports along with Foxtel, scheduling permitting.

"WSL is proud to continue this fantastic partnership with Foxtel Group into another season," said WSL APAC President Andrew Stark. "It's a mutually beneficial partnership, and WSL is grateful for the cross-promotional opportunities it offers our athletes and events, as well as the hours of live action provided for our fans in Australia of events all around the world. We can't wait to take it to the next level in 2024 and thank the team at Foxtel Group for the ongoing support."
"The World Surf League is one of our longest-standing partners, and we are thrilled to extend this awesome relationship," said Foxtel Group Director of Content Acquisitions and Sports Partnerships Adam Howarth. "2023 saw Ethan Ewing, Jack Robinson, Molly Picklum and Tyler Wright represent Australia in the WSL Final 5 on the Championship Tour, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Australian surfing is in incredible shape, and we can't wait to showcase the Aussie talent pool to our customers next season."
