Today is the final day for executives to submit tenders.

And with two teams to be added in the 2018-19 season, expansion looms as a key bargaining point for the FFA.

More games, more money. 

FFA chief David Gallop said speaking with networks regarding future team locations was imperative to the success of the new four-year deal.

"We want them to indicate when they come to us their attitude to not only expansion, but expansion where," Gallop told AAP.

"It's not appropriate to go completely into the detail of discussions with media companies, but we have indicated that we're looking at the feasibility of adding teams.

"We want to add teams and therefore we've asked them for their view of a competition that is 12 teams, not 10."

Gallop said location was key to the overall growth of the game in every sense.

"I've said for some time, expansion is more than the ability to set up a sustainable operation in a geographical location - that's only half the equation," he said.

"The other half of the equation is adding value to the whole competition and the game, in the sense that you provide something that is of value to our broadcasters, our national sponsors, and therefore the overall pie grows."

The FFA release its expansion criteria in February with up to a dozen clubs preparing bids.

The FFA’s current broadcast deal is worth $40 million a year with expectations for the new deal in the vicinity of $80 million a year.

Several networks including Optus, beIN Sports and most free-to-air broadcasters have shown interest.
