ABC secures broadcast rights for A-League, W-League, Socceroos and Matildas matches
The ABC will become the free-to-air broadcaster of the A-League and W-League competitions, as well as international matches featuring Australia’s national sides, the Socceroos and Matildas.
Under the two-year agreement, Fox Sports will also continue to broadcast all Hyundai A-League, Westfield W-League, Caltex Socceroos and Westfield Matildas matches live via Foxtel and streaming service Kayo Sports.
The W-League is returning to the ABC
Ten previously had the free-to-air rights for the A-League and Socceroos matches.
I think this is brilliant news! At long last you won’t need to be a pay TV subscriber to watch an A-League game on the telly – and even more importantly, our national womens team and mens football teams too. There are plenty of people who are going to love it, when they finally see it. Well done ABC!
If we want improvement on our’ jogo bonito’ it should be more games showed on free tv. For now is a big step forward be able to watch one live game a week and all the games of our national teams. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
