How much does Stan Sport cost in Australia?

If you're looking to sign up for Stan Sport, the sports streaming service will cost you $20 per month. However, it's important to note that this particular streamer is an add-on to Stan rather than a standalone service.

This means that in order to sign up for Stan Sport, you'll need an active Stan subscription. That brings the actual cost of Stan Sport to between $32 and $37 per month depending on which tier you're paying for. Essentially, you're looking at $20 premium on top of whatever you're already signed up to pay via a Basic, Standard or Premium Stan subscription.

Until recently the Sport add on price was $15 per month, but since Stan snagged EPL rights the whole Stan package has gone up. Now you'll pay more for Stan + Stan Sport than the Standard Kayo package.

With that said, Stan's $32 per month cost also gets you access to Stan's library of quality TV shows and movies, something that Kayo doesn't offer. So it all shakes out at a pretty fair price.

Stan Sport's price went up from $10 to $15 back in March 2023, and has gone up once again this year to $20. All in all the price increase percentages are pretty hefty when compared to other streamers who tend to knock it up by around a dollar each year. In saying that they are less frequent, but still a 100% jump in two years is crazy.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Stan initially settled on the original price point after conducting some "price-sensitivity testing". As of March 2023, it seems like the situation changed as that figure rose 50% to $15 per month. That price hike came just months after Stan raised its own prices in September 2022.

Here’s a breakdown of how the main sports services in Australia look side by side.

Yes. As of March 2023, both existing and new Stan Sports customers will be subjected to the higher price of $20 per month for the add-on. The only exception is Optus Sport customers who will have a discounted rate for the first year with Stan Sport, to cushion the blow of Optus' streamer going under.

More power to a service like Optus Sport that pigeonholes itself with a single sport, but it's tough to recommend unless you're a football nut. On the other hand, Stan Sports has a little bit of everything to offer.

When the service was first announced, Rugby was the big drawcard for Stan Sport.  The official website also lists two of the world's biggest Tennis events: the Wimbledon Cup, and the Roland-Garros (French Open).

Stan has its sights set on a broader swathe of sports which is promising. The official list includes the following.

• Tennis (Australian Open, United Cup, Wimbledon and others.)
• Soccer (UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League and Super Cup)
• Rugby union (Six Nations, Super Rugby Pacific, World Cup and others)
• Motorsport (SpeedSeries, IndyCar, WRC and others)
• Professional Fighters League
• UCI cycling
