The AFL has signed a record broadcast deal with free-to-air network Channel Seven and pay TV provider Foxtel which will keep the prized football rights locked up with the two networks for seven years.
The AFL under departing chief executive Gillon McLachlan signed the deal with Seven and Foxtel on Tuesday. It will mean games continue to be broadcast on the networks for seven years starting from the 2025 season. The deal is expected to be worth more than the $2.5 billion the networks paid to secure the rights in 2017, which was extended at the start of the pandemic. Details are expected to be announced at a press conference at 3pm on Tuesday.
