Premier Sports agreed a 5 year deal for EXCLUSIVE screening rights for the NRL (including grand final), State of Origin and Anzac test, plus archive of classic matches and NRL fulltime. It appears Sky will have nothing.
Full details of Premier Sports coverage below:
THE BEST SEASON EVER
- 5 year deal (2013 - 2017)
- Every game from every round
- At least 6 live with 2 delayed each week
- Every game from the play-offs
- Grand Final live (previously this was on SKY)
- State or Origin series (Queensland v New South Wales) best of 3 exclusive and live (previously this was on SKY)
- All Star game
- Anzac Test Match
- Archive of classic Grand Finals and State of Origin will air
- NRL Full-time, the round up program will air every Tuesday evening. (Previously on SKY)
- No free viewing on streaming or betting sites.
£9.99 a month for all that, great value IMO. I had premier last year and saw some excellent games, well worth the investment. Just gutted The Footy Show isnt thrown into the mix.
Sky struggle to get two live games out a week of the SL, poor showing in comparison to what the NRL offers.
