Long-suffering rugby league fans will finally get to see live television coverage of NRL matches on Sundays.
The NRL announced on Sunday that games will be live on the Nine Network for the 2015 season.
Nine Network boss David Gyngell admitted fans had sent a clear message they wanted live action.
"Everyone prefers to watch games live - we just had to make it happen," Gyngell said.
The deal reached with Nine and Fox Sports, is a coup for rugby league fans who have long complained about delayed games punctuated with commercials on Sunday afternoons.
Under the deal, fans will be able to watch seven live games a week with two on Nine and five on Fox Sports.
"There is nothing better than watching games live and now it is going to become a prime time reality on Sundays," said NRL boss Dave Smith.
"Channel Nine will show Sunday games live throughout the season so fans will see every minute of the game as it happens.
"It means NRL games will be shown live on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in 2015."
All 26 Sunday matches will be live in Sydney with 23 games to be shown in Brisbane once daylight savings is finished.
The official draw for the 2015 season will be released on Monday, although Smith has revealed the first three weeks of Sunday football on Nine.
Round one will see Penrith play Canterbury while the week after it will be premiers South Sydney against the Sydney Roosters, before the Rabbitohs take on Wests Tigers in week three.
