Rugby Australia and Nine sign five-year broadcast rights deal
Media giant Nine has inked a broadcast rights deal with Rugby Australia, valued at $210 million.
Nine and Rugby Australia’s deal will span five years, from 2026 to 2030. Under the agreement, the Nine Network and Stan — its subscription service — will air Super Rugby, Wallaroos and Wallabies matches.
In addition to these games, Nine’s coverage of the sport will cover other competitions and games: the Rugby Championship, “the soon-to-launch Nations Cup”, the Bledisloe Cup, the Hospital Cup and Shute Shield (with coverage to go to “at least” 2027), and Sanzaar Tests.
