A new Collective Player Agreement will now be negotiated as a result of this landmark deal so that is yet to be determined, but this agreement is a better financial outcome for netball and will benefit the entire sport from grassroots to elite. 

Fox Sports, Australia’s leading producer of live sport. 

It provides financial security that will enable netball’s member organisations to nurture what is Australia’s number one participation sport at a grassroots level.  

All clubs currently invest significant funds into player salaries. This will no longer be the case and will help the viability of all teams and the competition as a whole.  

The agreement with the Foxtel Group is the best outcome for the game and its financial future, for fans, for players and for the game’s grassroots. This deal will see the same number of matches delivered live and free to fans through Kayo Freebies. 

Commencing from January 2022, the term is for five years through until December 2026. 

The agreement is not effective until 2022. We will work with Foxtel over the next year to look at how we can make a seamless transition of Netball Live subscribers to the equivalent features that will be part of the Kayo offering. We will keep you up to date.
