I really hope the massive Channel 10/Paramount+ bid gets up. I’m tired of Channel 7’s coverage of the game and Ten did a good job last time they had the rights.
Big payday for sure, whoever wins the rights, with even News Corp’s The Australian reporting the $3b bid from Channel 10/Paramount+.
Report: 10 bids $3b for AFL rights
10 reportedly wants all the rights, including digital rights, some matches on 10 and the remainder on Paramount+.

10 has bid a record $3b for AFL rights according to a media report.
The Australian reports 10 is understood to have told AFL executives it would be keen to have all the rights, including digital rights, telecasting some matches on its main free-to-air channel and the remainder on Paramount+ streaming.
Incumbents Foxtel and Seven are still considered favourites to maintain their package of rights, but the AFL hopes the 10 offer, which sources say is worth $600m annually over at least five years, will ignite a bidding war.
Foxtel and Seven had previously clinched a record $2.508bn deal with the AFL for six years from 2017, though the terms for Covid-affected years were later reduced when the pandemic hit.
The AFL hopes to secure a deal by the end of July or early August.
10 and an AFL declined to comment.

right there.. thats the kicker ..
its just a Saturday morning wank story & there is no substance to it,
on what planet would anyone offer 600 mill for 9 games a week for a sport performing as poorly as the aflol , that rates like a turd in half of the country , that can't get within cooee for eyeballs against another sport in the same market , that is on approx 400 mill pa for 8 games a week.
this hilarious attempt to lever more out of foxtel & 7
( im certain they've tendered their offers & its not a great deal more then the present amounts paid )
is great entertainment & the fumblers lapping it up is every better entertainment
