how to wtch foxtel go on my lg tv

Quick Scoop: You can’t usually watch Foxtel Go directly on an LG TV, because Foxtel’s LG TV support is for Foxtel Now , not Foxtel Go, on compatible LG Smart TVs. Foxtel says LG Smart TVs from 2017 to 2022 with webOS 3.5 or later are supported for Foxtel Now, and LG’s own info says the Foxtel app on LG is for Foxtel Now customers, not Foxtel Go subscribers.

What to do

  1. Check your TV model.
    If your LG TV is a 2017–2022 model running webOS 3.5 or newer, it should support the Foxtel app for Foxtel Now.
  1. Install the Foxtel app from the LG Content Store.
    Use your LG TV’s app store, search for Foxtel, and sign in with your Foxtel Now account if you have one.
  1. If you only have Foxtel Go, cast it instead.
    Foxtel says Foxtel Go works on compatible phones, tablets, and browsers, and eligible subscribers can cast to a TV using Chromecast or AirPlay if the devices are on the same Wi‑Fi network.
  1. Use another supported device.
    Foxtel Go is supported on iPhone/iPad, Android phones/tablets, and web browsers on PC or Mac, so you can watch there even if the TV app isn’t available.

Important distinction

Foxtel Go and Foxtel Now are not the same thing. Foxtel Go is mainly for watching on mobile devices and browsers, while Foxtel Now is the service Foxtel lists for LG Smart TV app support.

  • Foxtel Now app on the TV , or
  • Cast Foxtel Go from your phone/tablet to the TV.

TL;DR

  • Foxtel Go: not typically a direct LG TV app.
  • Foxtel Now: supported on some LG Smart TVs.
