DFL Announces Landmark National Media Rights Agreement
RICHMOND, Va. — Dominion Football League Commissioner Kyle Fitzgerald today announced that the DFL has reached a new one-year, $21.6 million national media rights agreement for Season 6, marking the largest commercial partnership in league history.
Under the agreement, each of the league's twelve franchises will receive an equal $1.8 million distribution, providing a significant financial foundation as the DFL enters its next phase of growth. Last season each of the 10 teams only received $250,000.
"This agreement is a defining moment for the Dominion Football League," Fitzgerald said. "Just a few seasons ago, we were a small regional league with a vision. Today, our teams compete in markets across the country, and this partnership reflects the confidence that broadcasters and fans have in where we're headed."
The new agreement comes as the DFL prepares for its most ambitious season yet, featuring twelve clubs, a 14-game regular season schedule, and a thrilling postseason. The league now spans multiple major media markets, including Dallas, San Antonio, Denver, Washington, Tampa Bay, and Miami.
Fitzgerald emphasized that the equal distribution of television revenue demonstrates the league's commitment to competitive balance and long-term stability.
"Our owners have invested in building something sustainable," Fitzgerald said. "Every franchise shares in this success because every franchise has helped make the DFL what it is today. This agreement strengthens every club while positioning our league for continued national expansion."
Additional details regarding Season 6 will be announced in the coming weeks.
