How do I connect Kayo Sports to my TV?

Kayo Sports is a popular streaming service in Australia for sports enthusiasts. To enjoy Kayo on the big screen, you have several methods depending on your TV and other devices.

Here’s a breakdown of how to connect kayosports.com.au/connect to your TV:

1. Using a Smart TV with the Kayo App (Recommended)

Many modern smart TVs have a built-in app store where you can directly download and install the Kayo Sports app. This provides the most integrated and user-friendly experience.

Compatible Smart TVs generally include:

• Samsung TVs: 2017 models and later.
• LG TVs: 2018 models or later using webOS 4.0+.
• Hisense TVs: Selected 2019 and later models.
• Android TVs: Devices running Android TV OS version 8.0+ (from manufacturers like Google, Hisense, NVIDIA, Philips, Sony, Toshiba, TCL).

Steps to connect on a Smart TV:

1. Ensure Internet Connection: Make sure your Smart TV is connected to your home Wi-Fi network or via an Ethernet cable.
2. Access App Store: Navigate to your TV’s app store (e.g., Samsung Smart Hub, LG Content Store, Google Play Store for Android TVs).
3. Search for Kayo Sports: Use the search function to find “Kayo Sports.”
4. Download and Install: Select the Kayo Sports app and choose “Download” or “Install.”
5. Open the App: Once installed, open the Kayo app from your TV’s home screen or app launcher.
6. Sign In/Activate:
   • The app will typically display an 8-digit activation code and a web address (e.g., kayosports.com.au/connect or similar).
   • On a separate device (smartphone, tablet, or computer), open a web browser and go to the URL shown on your TV.
   • Enter the 8-digit code into the field on the website.
   • Alternatively, some devices offer a QR code you can scan with your smartphone’s camera. This will automatically open the activation page on your phone with the code pre-populated.
   • You’ll then be prompted to log in with your Kayo Sports account credentials (email and password).
   • Once successfully logged in on your separate device, your TV screen should automatically refresh, and you’ll be signed into Kayo Sports.
7. Start Streaming: Select your profile (if prompted) and begin watching your favourite sports!

3. Casting (Chromecast)

If you have a Chromecast (Ultra or 3rd Gen recommended, 1st Gen is no longer supported), you can cast content from your mobile device or web browser to your TV.
