The entry jackpot for M6! After TF1, it is the 6 that offered the broadcast of the Champions League final for three years, against a little less than 4 million euros per edition as indicated The team This Monday morning. The chain will therefore offer a European Cup final that could enter history since PSG faces Inter, on May 31 in Munich.
Note that for this final of C1 which could give a second LDC to French football, M6 for the moment announces the only Xavier Domergue to the comments. Two weeks before the major media-sports meeting, the audiovisual group does not give the identity of the consultant. The 98 world champion Christophe Dugarry, however, trained the duo of commentators at Euro 2024 with Domergue and expected to continue the experience alongside the sports journalist.
The other two finals of European cuts, on the other hand, will not be broadcast on M6 or any other free channel. Last year, W9, a channel of the M6 group, had nevertheless made a very beautiful audience with an explosive Atalanta Bergame-Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), at 1.8 million viewers on average, according to Médiamétrie. The final of the Europa league conference Olympiakos-Fiorentina had attracted fewer people to W9.
European cuts in full on Canal+
By recovering the LDC final for three seasons, the M6 group therefore abandoned the TV rights of the other two continental finals. Canal+, a broadcaster of the three European Cups in full, will be alone to broadcast the 100% English outcome of the Europa League between Tottenham and Manchester United, this Wednesday (9 p.m.) in Bilbao, then the conference final between Real Betis and Chelsea, Wednesday 28 (9 p.m.), in Wroclaw (Poland).
Note that if a French club had qualified for one of the two European Cup finals, a clear broadcast would have been compulsory, as required by the list of “events of major importance”, which was updated in July 2024. However, OL was struck down in the quarter-finals of the Europa League by Man United, after a legendary return meeting in Old Trafford (5-4, AP) Conference.
