Optus Sport is now available on Foxtel’s Hubbl, making it the 17th service added to the aggregated streaming subscription service.
Every match of the Premier League will be available on Hubbl through Optus Sport, with the first match of the season taking place on 17 August.
The Emirates FA Cup, J-League, Barclays Women’s Super League, National Women’s Soccer League, K-League, DFB-Pokal and DFB Pokal-Frauen will also be now available, along with hundreds of international matches.
Dani Simpson, executive director of Hubbl, said: “As we continue to roll out our pipeline of updates and innovation we’re excited to welcome the newest partner onboard, Optus Sport joining Hubbl now takes our sport offering to new heights.
“With increased convenience and content choice, customers will have unrivalled access to Australian and international sporting events across the platform.”
Howard Rees, head of Optus Sport, added: “Hot on the heels of the successful live and exclusive broadcast of EURO 2024 and Copa América 2024, Optus Sport is now readying itself for the return of the Premier League, so we are excited to launch the Optus Sport app on Hubbl, which will provide Optus Sport subscribers with even more ways to enjoy the world’s best football.”
In June, watchdog ACMA found sports streaming service Kayo, also a Foxtel Group company, breached gambling advertising rules by presenting gambling ads during live sports events outside of allowed times.
The ACMA investigated Hubbl following complaints from viewers relating to live streams of a number of sporting events on Kayo.
Gambling advertisements are not allowed to be shown by online content providers during live sports events between 5am and 8:30pm, including in the five minutes before and after the event.
The ACMA’s investigations identified 16 different gambling advertisements were provided outside the allowed times across a total of 267 live sports events.
