Could a weekly ligue 1 match soon be free to air?
Football enthusiasts in France may soon have the opportunity to watch a Ligue 1 free match every single week, without requiring a subscription. This exciting prospect is outlined in a new amendment to a proposed bill aimed at reforming professional sports, which is currently under review by the National Assembly.
Presently, access to Ligue 1 football requires a subscription to the Ligue1+ platform, which costs upwards of 15 euros per month. The platform currently boasts approximately 1 million subscribers, highlighting the significant demand for top-tier French football. The proposed amendment seeks to broaden access, potentially making a weekly fixture available to a much wider audience.
