Stalled since this summer, discussions between Canal+ and the LFP regarding Ligue 1+ could resume soon.
With 100% of European cups including obviously the Champions League until 2027, as well as the Premier League, Canal+ offers its subscribers a well-stocked football catalog. Without forgetting, for this season again, that the Ligue 1 match on Saturday afternoon (at 5 p.m.) is broadcast by beIN Sports and distributed by the group, on myCanal, via a subscription.
Could Canal+’s offer on the French championship be even richer in the months or years to come? Maxime Saada, the president of the group, held discussions along these lines with Nicolas de Tavernost this summer. The objective was to offer Ligue 1+, the new LFP channel, on its platform. But the negotiations were unsuccessful and have never been resumed since.
Canal+ finally ready to distribute Ligue 1+?
A situation that could change. According to information from
The Teamcertain leaders of the Professional Football League believe that the result of the call for tenders recently launched by UEFA for TV rights to the Champions League over the period 2027-2031, which will be known on November 18, would be likely to change things about Ligue 1.
For these rights, the European body has decided to put local broadcasters in competition with digital giants like Amazon, Netflix and Apple, for whom a batch of a Tuesday evening poster is reserved. If Canal+ lost part of its exclusivity for C1, Maxime Saada could then review his position on Ligue 1+. Good news in sight for subscribers?
