From exclusive invites to the Kayo Sports AFL Season Launch and Motorsport Launch to meet and greets with athletes and backstage passes to live studio recordings, we kicked off our 2026 Winter Codes with plenty of perks at work for our team.   “As a massive NRL fan, I got the opportunity to bring some mates to a live studio recording of Sunday Night with Matty Johns as well as a meet and greet with Matty, Fletch, Hindy and Josh Addo-Carr!” said Patrick Keirle, Foxtel Media Programmatic Sales Executive. “Such a cool experience meeting the guys and chatting footy while watching part of the game with them in the green room!”   “Working in the Foxtel Group, Australia’s leading sports and entertainment company, definitely has its perks, and as a motorsport tragic, I had the opportunity to attend a ‘money can’t buy’ meet and greet and Q&A with the current crop of Supercars drivers,” said Victor Hugo, Foxtel Group Principal Legal Counsel. “No questions were off limits and we got real insights into the (cheeky) characters that they are when they remove their racing helmets.”   Exclusive behind the scenes experiences, invites to launches and meeting your sporting heroes – it's all part of working at Foxtel Group. #LifeAtFoxtelGroup

Filming is now underway across some of Australia’s most challenging and breathtaking landscapes for Deadliest Dinners, our new BINGE Original documentary series following adventurer and award-winning restauranteur and chef Mario Kalpou, as part of our continued investment in premium local production. The new eight-part series sees Mario Kalpou, whose global breakout series Man Eats Wild and United Plates cemented his reputation for pushing boundaries in the pursuit of food, return home to Australia to tackle some of the planet’s most dangerous terrain and deadliest creatures, chasing down wild ingredients and turning them into next-level dishes, cooked right where the action happens. Driven by a lifelong mission to reconnect people to their food source, he works alongside local experts, Indigenous custodians and regional specialists to better understand the ecosystems he enters, highlighting sustainable harvesting practices and the importance of conservation. “Deadliest Dinners is exactly the kind of entertaining and exhilarating content we love bringing to BINGE audiences,” said Howard Myers-Rifai, Foxtel Group Head of Unscripted Originals. “Mario is an incredible talent with a fearless approach to storytelling, and working with him has been fantastic. The series blends adventure, danger and incredible food in a way that feels fresh and completely unpredictable.” Deadliest Dinners is a co-production between the Foxtel Group and Mew Productions which is set to premiere exclusively on BINGE and Foxtel in 2026.

This International Women’s Day at Foxtel Group, we brought our team together to celebrate extraordinary leadership with a special screening of the documentary Jacinda Ardern: Prime Minister, live from Broadcast Way Studios in Sydney.

From exclusive screenings and behind the scenes moments to opportunities to come together to recognise impact and hear from influential voices on the global stage, experiences like this are all part of the perks of working at Foxtel Group.
