More fans will be able to listen to live rugby league than ever before following the confirmation of a new five-year radio rights deal.
All existing radio partners – Macquarie Media, Southern Cross Austereo and the ABC – have re-signed for a further five years.
And as part of a new partnership with Crocmedia, more regional markets will be reached than ever before.
Through the Crocmedia partnership, regional commercial radio networks including the Super Radio Network, Grant Broadcasters and Resonate Regional Radio will broadcast rugby league.
In addition to the national coverage provided by the ABC, the next five-year cycle will see more rugby league in regions which have not previously had access to NRL matches.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said it was a great result for the game to have such a broad reach via the game's radio partners.
