New TV Deal - Your Questions Answered

The agreement between the AFL, Channel Seven, Foxtel, and Telstra, will see an unprecedented amount of live football shown to more parts of Australia, across more platforms than at any time in the game’s history.

As well as delivering more live football to more people in more ways than ever before, the agreement will deliver $1.253 billion to the game, as a combination of cash ($1.118 billion) and contra support.

"This is a great outcome for the game, the AFL and its member clubs, including the Port Adelaide Football Club," Duncanson said.

"At this stage we have only been briefed on the key points and not yet had the opportunity to look at the detail but it is quite obviously an outstanding result for the game."

The Seven Network will broadcast four matches of each nine-match round on free to air television during the Toyota AFL Premiership Season, as well as all finals matches.

Foxtel will broadcast every match of every week through the premiership season live, as well as all finals matches through the Toyota AFL Finals Series, with the exception only of the Toyota AFL Grand Final.

Every match of every week of the Toyota AFL Premiership season and all finals up to the Toyota AFL Grand Final will be broadcast live in every State. Austar will have the same rights in its regional markets, with Foxtel set to re-establish a dedicated AFL Channel.
