The NRL is moving towards finalising a new broadcast deal with Channel Nine and Fox Sports that would extend the game's television partnership until at least the end of 2025.

Just a day after parting ways with chief executive Todd Greenberg, the Herald has been told by sources close to discussions that the NRL is negotiating the details around a three-year extension that will be worth less per annum than the $325 million Fox and Nine currently pour into the game each season.

Discussions between ARLC chairman Peter V'landys, Foxtel boss Patrick Delany and Nine chief executive Hugh Marks continued on Tuesday afternoon in preparation for Wednesday's innovation committee meeting that will likely decide the immediate future of the game.

Those discussions centred around what could effectively be a new five-year broadcast deal, given that both Fox Sports and Nine, the publisher of this masthead, are only two-and-a-half years into the current five-year arrangement.
