TV rights: The L’Equipe channel acquires part of the rights to Serie A

L’Équipe Group Champions the Rights to Serie A – Football Madness Awaits!

In an announcement that has undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the world of sports broadcasting (and possibly even knocked a few guérande sea salts from shelves), L’Équipe group has secured the rights to broadcast the Italian Championship for the next two seasons, lasting until 2026! Yes, you heard it right, folks. Football is no longer airing in the hallowed halls of obscurity; it’s zipping into our homes faster than a poorly aimed pass from a Rossoneri defender!

Two Matches a Day, Oh My!

Buckle up for this: L’Équipe will be transmitting not one, but two matches per day starting with the classic showdown between AC Milan and Napoli this Tuesday at 8:45 p.m. Now, whether you support one of those teams or you’re just tuning in to chuckle at a keeper’s howlers, we promise you this will be more thrilling than watching a tortoise race a snail!

Unencrypted Goodies on TNT!

What’s more? One of these shining jewels of calcio will be available unencrypted on TNT channel 21. So, pop some popcorn, grab your mates, and indulge in the glorious chaos of Italian football without having to sign up to yet another subscription service—because let’s face it, who really needs a third app for channel surfing? The other match will be safely nestled behind the cozy walls of a digital platform for subscribers. It’s like VIP access to a rock concert, but with fewer band T-shirts and more questionable dives!

A Broader Football Fiesta!

The L’Équipe group not only brings Serie A to your screens, but they’ll also dish out highlights for those of you who think binge-watching the latest cat video is way more appealing than watching an entire match. If only we could combine the two; imagine a cat scoring a penalty! To top it off, the group has renewed rights to the Cup and the Italian Super Cup, ensuring that you’ll be having a football fiesta for quite some time.

What’s Happening in the Broadcasting World?

You may recall that Serie A hadn’t found a French partner until now— BeIN Sports had previously dipped its toes in Calcio, but clearly, it was time for a shake-up. Think of it as just another shifting player in the constantly evolving game of sports broadcasting; the only constant being the excitement of watching players tumble like my paycheck after a night out!

Other Leagues: The Competitive Landscape

In France, fans can still kick back and enjoy the English Premier League on Canal Plus, while BeIN Sports showcases the likes of La Liga and Bundesliga. But now, my fellow football aficionados, the Italian league is all set to strut across screens, bringing a sprinkle of drama, style, and that indefinable “nonchalance” that only players in Italy can deliver.

Final Thoughts

So, what’s the takeaway here? With L’Équipe Group on the ball, it’s time for French viewers to dust off their football kits, gather their relatives, and pour themselves a nice glass of something bubbly as they cheer for their chosen team. After all, life is too short for dull weekends! And remember, if you think Serie A is the same without the unpredictability of the players, you’ve obviously never watched Italian football.

“The L’Équipe group has acquired the rights for two seasons until 2026” of the Italian Championship, announces a press release published on the group’s website, without specifying the amount paid. In detail, sports media TV will be able to offer two matches per day, starting with the AC Milan-Naples clash on Tuesday evening (8:45 p.m.).

From next week, one match will be broadcast unencrypted on TNT channel 21 and the other on the digital platform reserved for subscribers. The Team will also have summaries of all matches. “The L’Équipe group has acquired the rights for two seasons until 2026. It will broadcast via the L’Équipe channel and the L’Équipe live football platform, two of the most beautiful posters per day, with alternatively choice 1 ( odd days) and choice 2 (even days) as well as choice 3. It will also have highlights of all matches”, it is indicated.

Serie A has already played nine days this season, but had not found an agreement with a French channel. BeIN Sports previously held the rights to “Calcio” in France. The Team also announced that it had renewed the rights to the Cup and the Italian Super Cup, which it already held. In France, the English Premier League is broadcast on Canal Plus, the Spanish La Liga and the German Bundesliga on BeIN Sports.
