It is a small revolution that is preparing behind the scenes … and on the screens. From the 1st day of the 2025/2026 season, the traditional Multiplex of Friday evening gives (temporarily) its place at Saturday August 9 at 8 p.m. For what ? Because there will be no Ligue 1 games that weekend. Result: Ligue 2 recovers the light on Saturday evening, in a much more favorable niche for supporters and families.
And it's not just one one-shot. From the 2nd day, the new programming takes its marks. Three games will now take place every Saturday, including one from 2 p.m., in addition to evening posters. An evolution hailed internally as in the stands.
Clubs and fans heard
This decision did not fall from the sky. It is the fruit of a working meeting between the LFP, BeIN Sports and the National Association of Supporters, who have united their forces to develop the time grid. The goal is to make Ligue 2 more accessible, more visible and more alive.
And the message was received five out of five: TV broadcasting evolves, but also the general organization. A reflection is underway to further anticipate programming: instead of the traditional six weeks in advance, clubs could soon be set even earlier. A real plus for supporters who move. A more football, more festive, more popular: Ligue 2 enters a new era!
To summarize
The 2025/2026 season of Ligue 2 introduces a major change: the multiplex of Friday evening is moved to Saturday at 8 p.m. on August 9, due to the absence of Ligue 1 matches this weekend. This modification, the fruit of a collaboration between the LFP, BeIN Sports and the supporters, aims to improve the accessibility and visibility of the Ligue 2.. Now, three games will take place every Saturday, one at 2:00 p.m., marking a new era for the championship.
