The exclusive international media, data, and streaming rights collaboration between Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and IMG has been extended. 

There will be a multi-year contract renewal (currently undetermined). "To further drive audience and commercial growth for the top-flight Isuzu UTE A-League Men and Liberty A-League Women football leagues," the APL expressed its motivations.

Under the terms of the agreement, IMG will continue to oversee and distribute the APL's media rights internationally, with the exception of Australia and New Zealand, while IMG Arena will collect and supply official match data to more than 460 licenced international sportsbook operators.

The A-League Commissioner, Nick Garcia, stated: "We look forward to continuing to work with IMG to leverage their invaluable expertise and expansive global network. This extension and expansion of this partnership is testament to the growth opportunity that exists in Australian and New Zealand football right now. 

Future Matildas and Socceroos, as well as talents from other countries, call the A-Leagues home. We have more football, more goals, and more stories for fans to connect with with the addition of three new women's teams to the Liberty A-League Women and two men's teams to the Isuzu UTE A-League Men.

“We are proud to have developed a strong relationship with APL and helped them achieve significant growth for the A-Leagues over the past six years,” said Dale Levin, SVP, Head of Australasia and Southeast Asia for IMG’s media division.

The Golf Event Centre at IMG Arena was recently turned into a sportsbook by FanDuel. During the PGA Tour, clients will be able to wager on live markets thanks to the IMG Arena service.
