After a protracted courtship the Football Federation of Australia (FFA) has finally released its tender for its suite of football rights including the A_League, giving TV networks until December 9 to put their bids in.

The FFA started talking to networks in April about its next round of rights for the A-League, W League, as well as some Socceroos and Matildas internationals and the FFA Cup from 2018, in what will most likely be a four-year deal.

Mumbrella understands all of the commercial free-to-air networks, SBS, ABC as well as Fox Sports and Optus have been approached with the tender document, with the FFA hoping to make up to $80m per season for the rights.
