AFL strives for record $3b broadcast deal

Patrick Durkin

The AFL Commission will push to break its $3 billion record for a five-year broadcast and streaming deal from 2025, despite reports existing broadcast partners Foxtel and Seven West Media remain the favourites to retain the rights at present levels.

Outgoing AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan is determined to secure the record deal before he steps down at the end of the season. The commission, led by Qantas and Woodside chairman Richard Goyder, will meet on Monday to discuss the bids, the prospect of a Tasmanian team and Mr McLachlan’s replacement.
