What’s In this BINGE Review
What is BINGE?
BINGE is a streaming TV service brought to you by Foxtel. If you think about the huge library of content that Foxtel has the rights to, you’ll know that it has traditionally been divided up into packages – movies, drama, lifestyle, docos. That works great for those who know what they want, love the convenience of Foxtel’s iQ5 box and are mostly interested in live TV channels.
Similar to Foxtel Now, Binge is a streaming platform that has access to what’s on Foxtel – including HBO, arguably one of the greatest TV producers of all time. Binge is going to enjoy a long relationship with HBO thanks to a deal signed just recently, but beyond that network (and its brand-new HBO Max shows, also coming to the service) there is plenty of solid content here.
What can I watch on BINGE?
BINGE is home to some of the best TV shows and movies in Australia (see what’s on BINGE this month). The content library offers something for everyone from drama and sci-fi to reality TV and documentaries.
Subscribers can access heaps of the best shows on BINGE such as Succession, Game of Thrones, True Detective, Band of Brothers and many more favourites, as well as new releases like House of the Dragon, Love & Death, The White Lotus, The Staircase, Euphoria, and many others.
The big screen is far from forgotten with BINGE streaming massive blockbusters like Oppenheimer, Barbie, The Equalizer 3, Gran Turismo, No Hard Feelings and more. The rest you’ll just have to see for yourself with our best of BINGE movies guide.
BINGE’s content is varied more than ever with the addition of news channels on the platform, which include the CNN, MSNBC, and Bloomberg. More than news, you’ll also access live channels airing drama, lifestyle, reality, kids TV, and more.
Can I watch sports on BINGE?
As of 30 November 2024, all BINGE tiers now include sports programming direct from Kayo. There are no additional costs to watch sports on BINGE, although not all games will be available. Some of the games you can watch in 2025 are AFL Premiership and NRL Premiership seasons (first and last simulcast match of every round only).
How much does BINGE cost?
So here’s the big news – BINGE is cheap, really cheap, but before paying anything you can take advantage of their free trial offer.
BINGE offers three pricing tiers with their entry-level plan starting at a mere $10 per month, giving you access to the full content library in high definition. That also lets you watch on only one screen at a time.
The next tier up adds 4K streaming on select content, and the ability to have two screens streaming at a time. That’s $19 per month which is an undeniable bargain for ultra HD streaming of the content on offer (directly comparable to those from Disney Plus, Prime Video, Netflix and Stan).
The top tier is $22 per month which gives you simultaneous use of up to four screens, and of course, but 4K streaming on select content. There is your family plan right there.
It’s also worth noting that BINGE now has annual plans to offer: Basic at $79, BINGE Standard at $149, and BINGE Premium at $179.
Important note: Movies and drama content is ad-free on demand on BINGE Standard and Premium.

How to watch BINGE
The BINGE app can be used on Apple TV, Android TV (including Sony smart TVs), and both iOS/Android phones and tablets. Support for Samsung and LG smart TVs are also available.
BINGE supports all Chromecasts except the first-generation (stick-shaped) model, and that’ll get your Bingelist up on your big screen for under 50 bucks.
User profiles are supported – great news for shared households and families. At launch you can have up to six profiles, and BINGE says this will increase not too far down the track.

Disclaimer: BINGE is not available for use in Very Remote regions of Australia from 3 March 2025. Existing customers in affected areas (see BINGE Help Centre to check affected postcodes) will have their subscriptions cancelled. Customers will be informed accordingly in February, and refunds will be processed as part of the cancellation. Subscribers in inaccessible areas will be offered a Foxtel subscription at a comparative rate to continue watching Foxtel Group content.
BINGE features
If you’re already a Kayo Sports user then it is worth mentioning that BINGE uses the same platform as its sister station, and the same account system – you effectively have a “Streamotion account” rather than a Kayo or BINGE account.
So keep that in mind when signing up, as your mobile phone number is attached to your account for both so you’ll need to sign in with the same details. You do, however, pay for each service separately, and can subscribe to one or the other without hassle.
However, this does make the signup process a little confusing, especially for those who’ve used a different email for their Kayo trial and then tried to sign up for BINGE with a different email but the same mobile number.
We’re sure BINGE will be working on making the process easier – and their responses to our support emails today were faster than any other company you’re likely to deal with, getting it sorted fast.
If you’re a Kayo Sports subscriber adding BINGE to a current account, though, it’ll be smooth sailing. And keep this in mind – the combo of BINGE and Kayo costs you a total of $35 a month for all the drama, movies, reality, lifestyle, docos, AND sport you can stream. Quite seriously a bargain of the highest order if you want it all.

BINGE review verdict
Here in Australia we’ve missed out on the ability to stream shows from HBO and some others for years. Sure, you have had the ability to buy them on Apple Store or Google Play, or subscribe to the excellent Foxtel Now, but having that on-demand interactive streaming experience that we’ve come to love is so much nicer.
And that’s what BINGE delivers with a library that stands toe to toe with Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Netflix, and Stan.
The killer feature here is the price – the sweet spot of $18/month for HD or 4K (selected content) gives you access to a vast cache of TV treasures, alongside new TV shows and a whole bunch of other content, all streaming on your big screen at your command.
Whether you love to binge, or just want to dive into the worlds of some of the best TV ever made, this is one of the best bargains out there right now.
