Are you looking for a reliable streaming service to watch sports content on your Hisense TV? Installing the Kayo app would be a better option. Kayo or Kayo Sports consists of more than 50 live sports along with on-demand content. As a favor, the Kayo Sports app is compatible with Hisense TV models, including VIDAA, Google, Android, and Fire OS.
Refer to my article to learn about the installation steps. In addition, I have included alternative ways to stream the Kayo Sports app on your Hisense TV without installing the app.
How to Get Kayo Sports on Hisense TV
Besides installation, you need a premium subscription to stream Kayo’s content. To do so, visit the official Kayo Sports website and subscribe to its basic premium plan, which starts at a rate of $25/month. Now, jump into this section to install the Kayo Sports app on your Hisense TV.
Pro Tip! During the installation process, it is important to connect your Hisense TV to the WiFi network.
Meanwhile, Kayo Sports is geo-restricted and only accessible in Australia. To stream without any restriction, you have to install a better VPN service like NordVPN on your Hisense TV. This secures your IP address and bypasses the geo-restriction.
