  • The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has been hit by a crisis due to their broadcaster, Global Advance, entering administration.

  • The failure of Global Advance has resulted in financial challenges for APL, including unpaid costs and the necessity for staff layoffs.

  • Despite these setbacks, the APL has managed to secure a deal with NEP to cover the production for the remainder of the 2023-24 A-League season.

  • All A-League men's and women's matches will continue to be televised under the new arrangement with NEP.

  • Uncertainty looms over the future of the Newcastle Jets and Canberra United, yet the APL is focused on broadcasting all games and recovering owed funds.
