Pay-TV operator Foxtel has won a $10 million boost grant from the Australian government to support broadcasting of "women's, niche and under-represented sports".

It brings the total government grants received in the past six years to $40 million.

Communications, cyber safety and the arts minister Paul Fletcher said Fox Sports had broadcast more than 4,888 hours of qualifying content in the past year, 1167 as live broadcast and 3050 of it women's sport.

Coverage of women's sports had more doubled since 2016.
