FOX SPORTS Australia will be the new broadcast partner for the 2026 Shannons SpeedSeries as announced by SRO Motorsports Australia.

All six rounds of the Shannons SpeedSeries will be available live on Fox Sports’ streaming service, Kayo SPORTS, with highlights packages from each day available on-demand.

FOX SPORTS also has the exclusive rights to many of SRO Motorsports’ other global assets, with Australian-based fans able to watch GT World Challenge Europe, Asia and America, British GT Championship, the Suzuka 1000, Pirelli GT4 America and GT4 European Series.

The deal is a major coup for the future of the Shannons SpeedSeries, which heads to FOX SPORTS for the first time in its two decade-long history.

Shannons SpeedSeries’ partnership with FOX SPORTS places them alongside a rafts of elite motorsport broadcast deals, which includes categories such as Formula 1, Supercars, NASCAR and most recently the Australian Rally Championship.

In 2026, production house Rainmaker will have the responsibility of delivering the Shannons SpeedSeries to viewers as the official Production Partner following from a partnership that began in 2024.

The Shannons SpeedSeries’ first event on Kayo SPORTS will be the highly anticipated opening round in Victoria, with LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Phillip Island to kick off the new partnership in style.

GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, Monochrome GT4 Australia, Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Australasia, Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia and the newly created Mustang Cup Australia will all feature at the opening round.

SRO Motorsports Australia CEO Ben McMellan added the partnership creates an incredible opportunity to grow for the Shannons SpeedSeries.

“FOX SPORTS has long been the home of motorsport in this country and their reach to Australian audiences alone is likely to have a positive effect on our product,” McMellan said.

“With the direction the world is heading in terms of consuming live sport through digital assets, Kayo SPORTS’ user-friendly interface, high-quality content and large audience makes it one of the best apps in Australia, and it’s exciting knowing the Shannons SpeedSeries will be there too.”

Fans wanting to attend the event will be able to purchase their tickets via speedseries.com.au/tickets, while those unable to make it out can watch live from the comfort of their own homes on Kayo SPORTS.

LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Phillip Island kicks off the Shannons SpeedSeries at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on 27-29 March.
