After a very long saga, the television rights of Ligue 1 have been sold to DAZN and beIN Sports. For the new season, which begins tonight with PSG’s trip to Le Havre,
The English platform will broadcast eight of the nine matches of each day of the championship.
To promote Ligue 1 and sell subscriptions, DAZN has chosen to highlight five players, including three who are particularly old for footballers. “DAZN made a poster for the older ones, estimates the journalist Florent Gautreau on the airwaves of RMC. When you put Mandanda (39 years old), Dante (40 years old) who is on the verge of retirement, Lacazette (33 years old) who almost left for an exotic destination, we understand the idea. Dante is not a bad choice either, he has been in Ligue 1 for a long time, he is a very good ambassador for the French championship.
Ligue 1 is seriously lacking stars
So times have changed. “Two years ago, you put Mbappé, Neymar, Messi, Sanchez… Today, it’s empty, judge
Walid Acherchourwho does not understand the absence of Ousmane Dembélé. I would also have put Jonathan David (especially since he should stay in Lille) and Alexandre Lacazette of course”says the man who will be commentating on matches this season for DAZN.
The price of subscriptions has been much criticized in recent weeks, particularly the offer ” DAZN Unlimited » with a one-year commitment at 29.99 euros per month (39.99 euros without commitment). A package « DAZN Super Sports » is also offered, with only one match per day (chosen from the Sunday matches at 5 p.m.) at the price of 14.99 euros per month (19.99 euros without commitment).
