Nine and Foxtel have agreed to keep National Rugby League matches on their television platforms after striking a record‑setting broadcast arrangement.
The deal, valued at $5 billion, is described as one historic agreement for Australian sport media; it will see NRL games continue on Nine’s free‑to‑air channels and Foxtel’s subscription services while final contract terms are still being finalised, and that parties have chosen not to disclose further specifics. The arrangement secures the league’s television exposure for the next broadcast cycle and reinforces the dominance of the two broadcasters in the Australian sports market.
