AFL & NRL Footy TV Ratings - 2025

[azif]

NRL’s big payday looms – but the fans must come first

Magic Round viewership up 20%, subscription TV audience growth of 12.5% this year,

The NRL is pushing hard to strike a new media deal, one that could reshape Australian sport. It’s been a long time coming. Under the leadership of Peter V’landys and Anthony Abdo, the code has surged in strength audience, and ambition. The NRL is chasing a massive $3 billion to $3.2 billion media deal – and it looks well within reach.

WOW
12.5% increase in STV ratings in 2025 & around 8% on FTA
the NRL is literally killing it

no wonder up to $640 million PA is the touted figure & I'd say thats for Australia only
add another 50 mill pa for NZ

the regions biggest code will rightfully take its place as the biggest earners of media monies too , another silver for derpball

also with NZ tv deal, this was discussed and done when Warriors were at there lowest point in HISTORY
be interesting what kind of deal can be done in KIWI Land..

650mill PA will be the Minimum for Aus deal
than add in radio / Telstra and all the other extras on top
plus NZ tv deal..

yes , the NRL has taken off in NZ both on the TV & at the ground since covid ,
The Warriors often outrating Super Rugby games over there including their local derbies these days ,
a significant bump in the 32 mill pa paid presently is assured with the extra content coming in the next 7 years

The Warriors often outrating Super Rugby games over there including their local derbies these days ,

yeah nice, i have read many articles over past two seasons stating this too..
warriors are generally outrating super rugby games played between nz side and aus side.. the derby games are the big games in super rugby
with warriors on numerous occasions equal or just below or on top. (which is great too know)
for non rugby fans (nz has 5 sides)

$32mill will easily be surpassed) this deal did have contra built into it. which seems to have helped ratings..

I can point to TWO articles that are based on reach - and one is based off the other.

Again, you lack any kind of citation.

Na seriously - FTA ratings are only part of the story and we have no way of knowing what stv ratings are given the changes from last year.
