The Australian Championship Thread

Let's hope it's actual "news" and not a rehash of what we already know.

What we know:
Name
Logo
Clubs
Timing
Travel cover
No pro/rel for a few years

What we need to know:
Broadcaster
Sponsors
2026 H&A season and timing
Additional clubs/RFP phase 3
Pro/rel when? With A-League and/or NPL?

Anything else?

Not yet. "The deal for Foxtel remains subject to regulatory approvals, including from the Foreign Investment Review Board".

AND Murdoch would keep a share of it, 10% or something.

An absolute joke of an organisation that has turned almost everything into a psychotic duopoly and in some cases a monopoly.

May as well not exist and save us the tax dollars.

10% is meaningless.

News Corp and Telstra have agreed to sell Foxtel Group to British sports streaming and entertainment company DAZN in a $3.4 billion deal.

Foxtel's streaming services Binge and Kayo Sports are included in the sale, which is expected to close in the second half of 2024/25 subject to regulatory approvals.

Telstra and News Corp would remain shareholders in DAZN, the company said.

Under the deal, News Corp will receive $578 million in cash for repayment for outstanding loans to Foxtel Group, while Telstra will get $128 million.

The transaction values Foxtel Group at $3.4 billion, including debt. Under its terms, News Corp will receive a 6 per cent minority interest in DAZN.

Telstra, which owns a 35 per cent stake in Foxtel, will get a 3 per cent stake in the London-based sports streaming service
