first time in six years, with the NBL signing
a three-year deal with the network.
The deal will see two games broadcast
live each Sunday afternoon in a marquee
timeslot during the NBL season, showcasing
four hours of basketball action on
10 Peach and streamed live in HD on 10
Play, from 1pm. Last month, Foxtel also
announced a new three-year agreement
with the NBL and ESPN.
