It is a historic page that the professional football league has just opened. In a statement published this Tuesday, the body announces the creation of its channel dedicated to the retransmission of Ligue 1 from the next school year. “”Gathered successively this Tuesday, July 1, the College of Presidents of Ligue 1 clubs, the LFP Media supervision committee and the LFP board of directors unanimously adopted a major strategic project: the creation of a TV and digital platform entirely dedicated to Ligue 1 McDonald's, managed and managed by LFP Media», Starts the LFP.
Faced with Dazn's planned disengagement after only one season, and the refusal of Canal+ to return to the game as indicated by Maxime Saada in an interview that made noise, the league therefore went to plan B. The new director general of LFP Media, the commercial subsidiary of the League in charge of the file, Nicolas de Tavernost, managed to convince the presidents of Ligue 1 that he intended to set up (8 L1 matches per day broadcast next season, then all from 2026-2027), despite the reluctance.
A subscription to 14.99 euros per month
«The platform will broadcast from the resumption of the championship on August 15, the ten most beautiful posters of the season, eight live matches exclusively every day from Friday to Sunday, accompanied by a great magazine available – offered in clear – Sunday evening», Presents the LFP. It is not yet known whether this channel will be broadcast on partner platforms (Dazn, Video Prime, etc.) or access via internet access providers (Free, Orange, etc.) but we know the price, which was a major obstacle to the success of Dazn this season.
It will finally be necessary to pay less than 15 euros per month to watch the first division matches. “”After a historic 2024/2025 season, marked by a record crowd in stadiums, this new platform is part of a popular and accessible approach, with an offer at € 14.99 per month with commitment.The identity of the production box (21 production and mediawan are in the running) is not revealed in this press release either. We should quickly know more since a press conference is scheduled for July 10.
