A-League clubs should soon be able to start budgeting for next season, with Football Federation Australia to finally provide annual grants from the broadcast deal.

A high-profile meeting between club owners and FFA will take place at 11am on Tuesday when the governing body is set to provide its biggest indication yet on what the clubs should receive from the new broadcast deal. Until now, owners have been kept in the dark as to what their share of the $56 million-a-year new TV deal with Fox Sports will be, with many clubs claiming difficulty in making financial plans beyond salary-cap expenditure.

For the first time in the competition's history, FFA will provide clubs with a greater windfall than the value of the salary cap but it still isn't likely to be enough of a grant to appease many owners. With the A-League salary cap set to rise from $2.6 million a season to about $2.92 million, sources suggest clubs are likely to receive a figure of about $3.3 million. The exact figure won't be confirmed until after FFA has sold the remaining broadcast rights but it's understood clubs will be given "a good indication" of their share at Tuesday's meeting.

However, such a value would fall short of the clubs' demands, which are understood to be a minimum of $1 million on top of the value of the A-League salary cap, making for an annual grant of almost $4 million a season.
