Binge will begin streaming sports on the platform from tomorrow, starting with back-to-back AFLW Grand Final on 30 November and WBBL Grand Final on 1 December.
In addition to sport, live news channels for Sky News Australia, Sky News UK, Fox Sports Australia and CNBC were also added to the platform this week, adding more variety and value for 1.6M Binge subscribers at no additional cost.
Julian Ogrin, CEO of Binge, said: “It’s been an exciting week for Binge from launching more live news channels and premiering our first Original feature film How to Make Gravy to streaming a massive grand final weekend of women’s sport – it’s all happening on Binge.
“We’ve supercharged Binge to deliver unmatched variety and value to our customers. Starting from just $10 per month, Binge subscribers can enjoy the world’s best shows and movies with live and on demand sports, news, and lifestyle all included in one subscription. And if you’re quick, you can also take advantage of our Binge Black Friday sale, providing you with even more subscription value.”
Until 2 December, Binge is running a Black Friday sale – $4.99 for 12 months – offering new subscribers even more value.
On Saturday night, fans can catch all the action including the pre-game show featuring musical act Lime Cordiale, when North Melbourne and Brisbane face off for the second year in a row at the 2024 NAB AFLW Grand Final. On Sunday afternoon, fans can watch the Melbourne Renegades host the WBBL grand final at the MCG against the winner of the Brisbane Heat’s Challenger final. The 2024 WBBL competition is currently the most streamed of all time.
Eilish O’Dowd, AFLW GWS player, said: “Binge has all the best shows and movies and the fact that it’s now making sport available as part of the subscription is just brilliant. To have sport on Binge launch with women’s sport, and AFLW in particular, is a milestone moment. It’s so exciting that Binge is opening the sport up to millions of Australians to get behind us.”
