BeIN Sports (Australian TV channel)

beIN Sports is an Australian and New Zealander pay television sports network that was launched in 2007 as Setanta Sports.

In late 2014, Setanta Sports Australia was acquired by the beIN Media Group. As a result, on 24 November 2014, the channel was rebranded as beIN Sports.

The channel airs soccer, rugby union, tennis and European handball events. Its broadcast rights include Football League Cup, Football League Championship, Ligue 1, German Bundesliga, La Liga, Italian Serie A, SPFL, RBS 6 Nations, Major League Soccer and WTA.

On 14 May 2016, beIN Sports in Australia expanded from one to three channels, all of which are available in HD. Previously, there was only one SD channel available. For Foxtel users, all three channels became available as part of the sports pack at no additional cost, whereas previously the single channel was an add-on at an additional fee.

In September 2019, Sky Sport in New Zealand announced a four-year partnership with beIN for extensive soccer coverage. beIN Sports was broadcast as Sky Sport 7, and promoted as Sky Sports 7 beIN Sports until the agreement ended on 31 July 2023.

beIN Sports left the Foxtel (alongside PBS Kids) and Kayo Sports platforms in Australia on 1 July 2023.
