Kayo Spoilers Off cannot hide every score in a live broadcast

Kayo's Spoilers setting hides Match Centre scores and Key Moments when turned off, but the provider says it does not apply to live broadcasts. A commentator or graphic inside the programme can still reveal another game's score. Treat the setting as an interface aid rather than a complete spoiler shield.

Kayo Sports

Set the profile before opening the event

Use the profile menu and review the Spoilers preference before browsing the match. Kayo's help describes a toggle and explains that hidden scores apply across sports. The profile should be the one used for the delayed session, rather than another household member's ordinary live-viewing profile.

Check the interface cautiously after changing it. A score already seen cannot be unseen, so avoid visiting an event summary simply to confirm the setting. Use the provider's explanation and the visibly hidden score tiles as the relevant preparation.

Understand which surfaces are hidden

Kayo says disabling spoilers hides Match Centre scores and Key Moments, including timeline markers unless enabled separately. It also describes starting the event from the beginning. These are player and interface functions, not edits to the broadcaster's original programme.

Choose the complete replay or start-from-beginning route that suits the session. A highlight clip may reveal the outcome in its own presentation. An unrelated channel or live studio discussion can contain results beyond the event page's score tiles.

Plan around the live-programme limitation

The official help explicitly warns that live broadcasts can reveal scores from concurrent games. If avoiding those results matters, choose the viewing order accordingly and consider whether a particular broadcast is likely to discuss the wider competition.

Other devices matter too. A phone notification, sports app or conversation can disclose a result outside Kayo. Decide which interruptions to silence during the planned replay. This is a household viewing choice, not a feature the streaming application's spoiler switch can control.

Switch back deliberately after catching up

After the event, restore the desired preference if the household wants normal scores and Key Moments again. Explain the setting to other viewers so hidden score tiles are not mistaken for an incomplete event page.

If a tile remains visible contrary to the documented setting, record the profile, device and surface where it appeared. Distinguish an interface score from a graphic inside the actual broadcast. That difference determines whether the result is a setting fault or the feature's stated boundary.
