Football Federation Australia says its new multi-million dollar broadcast deal won't result in a massive pay rise for players in the A-League.

The Federation has signed a 4-year, 200 million dollar deal with Australian broadcasters Fox Sports and SBS.

FFA chief executive David Gallop says players shouldn't expect a new salary cap in the near future.

The FFA has also ruled out any expansion to the 10-team competition for at least 4 years.

Gallop revealed after seven rounds this season, the average crowd figures are up 32 per cent cent from last season with a 35 per cent increase in average TV audiences.
