NRL's $5.3B Deal Shakes Aussie Sports | Auckland News
Description
The NRL just shattered Australian sports broadcasting records with a $5.3 billion media rights deal—larger than the AFL’s previous record and poised to secure the league’s future for decades. With new teams expanding to 19 by 2028 and a potential 20th in 2029, the NRL is betting big on growth. Nine will air three games weekly, including exclusive State of Origin rights, while Foxtel picks up the rest—including all matches except the Grand Final—for nearly double its current payment. This windfall is set to fuel the league’s global ambitions and domestic dominance, turning rugby league into a powerhouse sport for generations.
