The LFP has launched an auction for Ligue 1 broadcast rights starting next season and lasting until 2032. Confirmed by Vincent Labrune on October 21, the tender follows pervasive financial struggles associated with the league-owned broadcaster, Ligue 1 Plus. Clubs are aiming for better income from TV rights, as prior contracts with DAZN and BeIN Sports failed to meet expectations.
