One formula, every club the site covers. See the whole board →
Who controls the club
The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.
How this is measured
Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.
The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.
Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.
Who controls the clubNews Corp Australia (Nationwide News Pty Ltd)
Minority holders: BXBX Pty Ltd 9.79%; Lake Morepeth Pty Ltd 6.73%; other public shareholders 14.61%
The Broncos are the only publicly listed sports club on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: BBL). Nationwide News Pty Ltd, a News Corp Australia subsidiary, is the largest shareholder, holding 68.87% as of 30 June 2025. The club is not member-owned.
