Past Canal +, few gamers are finally candidates for the resumption of TV rights from L1 from next season.
On February 4, the Skilled Soccer League (LFP) and Canal + agreed on a deal to rescue the L1 at 200 million euros – i.e. the early cost of the 165 million owed by the encrypted channel by finish of season and a bonus of 35 million euros to get well the eight matches per day of the championship deserted by the resigning Mediapro. The settlement thus concluded, solely, relates solely to the monetary yr 2020-2021. The LFP has to discover one other answer for the next three years.
Forgotten the billion promised by the Spanish group on the origin of the Telefoot channel, the objective now could be to restrict the breakage by acquiring the some 700 million euros per yr that the L1 justified by way of investments throughout the earlier cycle, specifically 2016-2020. Canal + is probably going to come nearer with its unofficial proposal of 590 million euros plus 100 million variable half. However elite golf equipment don’t want to rely on a single, all-powerful broadcaster. Not to point out the battle that persists between the League and Canal.
Eurosport in ambush?
Earlier than the Paris Industrial Court docket and the Competitors Authority, the group chaired by Maxime Saada maintains to this present day its proceedings in opposition to the LFP, wishing to put its well-known lot quantity three again into play (the matches of Friday night and Saturday 1 p.m. , henceforth) sublicensed by beIN Sports activities for 332 million euros per yr till 2024. Clearly costly paid whereas Mediapro is out of the sport. Relations are due to this fact strained between the historic broadcaster of the French championship and the presumed guarantor of its pursuits.
Nonetheless, the alternate options to Canal + are usually not actually legion. The Workforce reporting this Thursday that the suitors revealed throughout the unsuccessful name for tenders on February 1 are usually not essentially indicators of hope. Cited among the many most critical candidates, Amazon is just within the 10 greatest posters of the season and is due to this fact not appropriate a priori with the important Canal +. DAZN, however, is as a result of the streaming platform is eyeing the much less spectacular posters, however for an envelope that’s positively too skinny within the eyes of the LFP. Lastly Discovery – proprietor of Eurosport additionally within the Sunday afternoon conferences – appears utterly complementary to the gamers already in place. On the situation, nevertheless, to be slightly extra beneficiant than this winter. With out this, Canal + could have a free hand, and particularly no cause to play the bidding.
