We know more about the program very loaded with Grégoire Margotton and Bixente Lizarazu, the duo of TF1 commentators. A year after Euro 2024 in Germany, the sports journalist and the 2018 world champion cover a new semi-final between the French team and Spain, this Thursday in Stuttgart (9 p.m.), this time in the League of Nations. The Final Four will continue for the Blues of Didier Deschamps against Germany or Portugal, in the final or in the match for 3rd place on Sunday.

Margotton and Lizarazu will not go on vacation. At least, they will be able to take advantage of a journey in California to comment on the first PSG match at the Club World Cup (June 14-July 13). The Champions League winner will take over the competition with a shock against Atlético d'Antoine Griezmann, Sunday, June 15 at Rose Bowl de Pasadena (12 noon in Los Angeles, 9 p.m. in France).

TF1 has indeed obtained two meetings of the brand new world clubs at 32 participants from Dazn. The British group has acquired all of the audiovisual rights of the competition, paying nearly a billion dollars to FIFA, for a completely free broadcast in the world. Dazn thus had the opportunity to give up his rights to free channels.

Margotton and Lizarazu at the Euro in Switzerland

In a recent press release, TF1 had announced the pair Grégoire Margotton-Bixente Lizarazu for PSG-Atlético but not for the final of the Club World Cup, on July 13 at the Metlife Stadium (3 p.m. in New York, 9 p.m. in France). And for good reason, commentators will be occupied with the third match of the group phase of the French women's team at the Women's Euro in Switzerland (July 2-27).

TF1 unveiled its device for Laurent Bonadei's blue matches and its star duo will officiate well during the first three games scheduled at 9 p.m. on TF1: France-England on July 5, France-Wales on the 9th and Netherlands on the 13th (the same day as the Clubs CM final). A fairly raised group D, with the Three Lionesses Champions of European entry, which will lead to quarter -finals.

For this female euro, TF1 also thought of a special program, The mag of the EuroThe Blue Meeting Views on TMC and after-match on TF1, in set and in public. Denis Brogniart will be there again, with Nadia Benmokhtar, Camille Abily, Thomas Mekhiche, Marine Marck as well as the Tricolore International Estelle Cascarino, currently injured.
