that the deal would run for seven years and was a significant increase on the previous deal, which was worth $946 million over two years.
Seven and Foxtel were considered the front-runners despite Nine Entertainment Co making an offer on Monday worth roughly $500 million a year. The AFL had hoped that the competition from Network Ten and streaming partner Paramount Plus, as well as Nine Entertainment and its streaming service Stan, would help push the deal closer to the $600 million a year mark.

So we're stuck with Foxtel and Kpop for another 7 years.
Just look at smug Gil there, no doubt receiving some handy kick back for this deal on the verge of him leaving. Once again the AFL selling out the average supporter while the elite piss on them from the corporate boxes.
No conflict of interest there
AFL has 1.1 million members but no consultation with its members about transitioning no free to air Saturday matches! Totally fucked up approached by the AFL!
Sounds like this was a foregone conclusion.
did anyone else want the rights.....**yawn**
Awwwwwwwwwwww ... I was hoping Channel10AU would buy the AFL rights AND bring back BeforeTheGame !
If there are no free to air games Saturday then this deal is a huge loss for the average fan. Some people can’t afford Kayo. How are they supposed to watch their team?
Players signing 5-7 year deals may miss the big pay rises coming
Foxtel good. Not if only Foxtel can get back A-League, EPL, and keep up the US sports, cricket and tennis.
