Foxtel, Nine, and Seven are set to learn the outcome of their involvement in NRL TV rights negotiations.
The agreement is said to last until at least 2034.
If finalized, this deal would elevate the NRL's broadcasting rights above those of the AFL for the first time, marking a pivotal achievement for the sport, which initially aimed for a $4 billion deal.
This development has caught many off guard, especially considering earlier rumors that Nine might not participate in the next broadcasting cycle at all.
Once the deal is formalized, it's anticipated to offer unparalleled financial stability for the code and redefine the viewing experience for rugby league fans moving forward.
