What to watch this week on Kayo Sports: F1, finals and cricket lead the schedule – Kayo Sports has assembled a broad live-sport schedule from Thursday 24 September, led by Formula 1 in Azerbaijan, international cricket and finals across the NRL and NRLW.
The week also brings a delayed AFL Grand Final replay, a full AFLW round, NBL action, two golf tournaments, six NFL games and boxing from Tokyo. For viewers deciding when to tune in, the busiest stretch runs from Friday through Monday, with several sports overlapping.
The breadth of the schedule is the main attraction. Instead of hinging on one competition, Kayo’s week ranges from Australian football and rugby league to motorsport, golf, basketball, American football and sailing.

Viewers planning around clashes have several practical choices. Friday evening combines Formula 1 qualifying, the opening NRL final and the French Open, while Saturday places the Azerbaijan Grand Prix alongside the AFL Grand Final replay and the NRLW final. Sunday is even broader, with cricket, rugby league, AFLW, NBL, golf, boxing and sailing spread from lunchtime into the night. Kayo’s on-demand and replay options may therefore be as useful as the live streams during the busiest windows.
The weekly guide also gives fans a chance to move between domestic and international events without waiting for a new day of coverage. Early-morning Presidents Cup and NFL windows lead into Australian afternoon fixtures, while European golf, cricket and the America’s Cup fill the evening schedule.
All times are Australian Eastern Standard Time as supplied and may be subject to change.
