Seven to show AFL’s Legends Game

Australian commercial broadcaster Seven has acquired rights for the Australian Football League’s (AFL) annual Legends Game.

The deal will run for the next five years, from 2016 to 2020.

Commercial broadcaster Nine had been the official broadcaster of the match for the past 20 years.

The annual match takes place at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne during the week's break between round 23 and the finals series.

Net proceeds from the game are distributed to prostate cancer charity the EJ Whitten Foundation and the AFL’s charity partners.
