beIN SPORTS announces price reduction for monthly and annual subscriptions

beIN SPORTS has announced a substantial price reduction for its monthly and annual subscriptions. Effective 1 July, a 25% reduction on the standard monthly price will be in place, now priced at $14.99 per month compared to the previous rate of $19.99.

For a limited-time offer, the platform will offer an additional discount of 28% on its annual plan. For $129.99, fans can secure a 12-month subscription, down from the original price of $179.99. The promotion is valid until 19 August 2023.

beIN SPORTS recently parted ways with a long-standing 7-year partnership with Foxtel and Kayo. The beIN SPORTS CONNECT OTT platform offers a wide array of live and on-demand football content, including the Serie A, Ligue 1, English Football League, SPFL, and more. Fans can catch tennis and rugby events, encompassing the ATP, WTA tours, and European Rugby Union in Australia.

John Armitage, director of beIN SPORTS Australia and New Zealand, said, "While many subscription services are increasing prices, beIN SPORTS remains dedicated to providing fans unrivalled access to their favourite content. We, at beIN SPORTS, are passionate sports fans ourselves. So with this price change, we aim to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to offering customers the best possible sports viewing experience at the best possible value.”

Fetch TV will continue to be a major distribution partner of the platform, offering three special curated premium linear channels via the Fetch aggregation platform and the Fetch Mobi companion app, at the reduced price. Recent updates to the Fetch user interface include optimisation for sports fans, further enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Sam Hall, chief content and commercial officer at Fetch TV, said, “Fetch TV is delighted to continue to offer our subscribers access to premium sports content via beIN SPORTS. The Fetch customer proposition is centred around aggregation, and providing viewers with easy access to content from the world’s best providers. The beIN SPORTS channels are essential viewing for our sports-minded subscribers."

The new pricing will take effect on 1 July 2023 for new and existing subscribers.
