matches on free-to-air television
Explanation:
It means the matches are broadcast on free channels. This is often referred to as terrestrial television, be formally it is referred to as "free-to-air", especially as many such channels are now broadcast by satellite and cable too. If the term reoccurs, consider using the industry-standard acronym FTA.
