Seven boards the Hayne Plane securing all but two of San Francisco 49ers NFL matches

Screen Shot 2015-09-08 at 9.58.36 amSeven Network is hoping the hype surrounding former NRL star Jarryd Hayne’s meteoric rise in the NFL will boost its ratings for the sport, after securing rights to air 14 of the San Francisco 49ers regular season games.

It is understood the network had been hoping to broker a deal with the NFL to show all of the 49ers games live, but has instead been able to select all of the team’s Sunday afternoon matches in its deal with the code.

Seven has rights to three live matches on a Sunday, which broadcast early on Monday morning in Australia, and will broadcast them live on 7Mate. It will also show the Thanksgiving game and the Super Bowl.

Subscription channel ESPN, which has the rights to the majority of the NFL matches, will show the 49ers’ other two games, including its first regular season match against the Minnesota Vikings which airs at 12.15pm AEST on September 15.

The NFL has retained the digital rights for the matches, which will set viewers back $250 for full access for the season.

Sports broadcast rights will be a key topic at the Mumbrella Sports Marketing Summit on September 9. Click the banner for more details.
