Foxtel has cut jobs for 100 staff, after less than a month after being acquired by DAZN, a British platform.
The cuts largely hit the marketing and engineering teams, including some staff from Hubbl, a streaming aggregator launched in 2024.
DAZN acquired Foxtel Group, after sitting with News Corporation for 30 years, for $3.4 billion.
Now, less than a month later, a Foxtel spokesperson confirmed a number of “highly skilled and highly valued people… will leave the Foxtel Group”.
“Our transformation is not new. We have been focused on efficiency for almost a decade, which has seen us successfully transform our business from being a single-product pay-TV operator to a modern Australian leader in streaming,” the spokesperson said.
“As part of the DAZN Group, we now have the opportunity to continue our transformation and take advantage of their global engineering and services. We are also working with DAZN to share our world-class product and technology expertise.”
