Ligue 1 clubs seek quick end to Ligue 1 Plus broadcaster

Summary

Ligue 1 clubs are advocating for an expedited conclusion to Ligue 1 Plus, the league's own broadcasting service, as reported by L'Équipe. Created after DAZN exited their contract early, Ligue 1 Plus has not generated sufficient revenue for clubs. New LFP Media Director General Olivier Bramly is leading the push for change, with a bidding process for broadcasting rights anticipated to start next month. Laws are set to allow the rights to be sold in a single bundle, potentially attracting more lucrative offers from companies like Canal Plus and Amazon Prime Video. Some clubs, including Lille OSC, have voiced concerns over the current financial situation in French football.
