First big failure for Ligue 1+

Announced for Friday August 15, the day of the first match of the Ligue 1 season between Stade Rennais and OM, Ligue 1+ continues to prepare behind the scenes. Xavier Domergue, Smaïl Bouabdellah, Marina Lorenzo, Thibault Le Rol, Lesly Boitrelle and Benoît Cheyrou were formalized in the casting of the brand new LFP platform, which will broadcast eight of the nine meetings of the French championship this season (the poster of Saturday 5 p.m. is still offered by Bein Sports).

As indicated The teamthe former playmaker Benjamin Nivet, the Brazilian Felipe Saad and the former French international Charlotte Lorgéré integrate the team of Ligue 1+ consultants, while waiting for other names before the launch of the channels. As a reminder, Samir Nasri remains on Canal+. Journalist Nicolas Vilas, who recently left RMC, is also recruited. He will notably be a columnist in the Sunday evening show, clearly, with Thibault Le Rol at the controls.

We also know the Ligan 1+ slogan, which will be “Our football”as revealed The team.

Dazn's offer for Ligue 1+

Ligue 1+ will open its subscriptions on August 11 and prices have been known for a while. Nicolas de Tavernost, the boss of LFP Media, announced the amount of 14.99 euros per month, but this is the subscription with a year's commitment (the vagueness surrounds the invoicing of summer months without L1). The monthly price without membership is set at 19.90 euros. An offer at 10 euros for those under 26 has been announced but it will not be accessible to the launch of the platform (for technical reasons) and this subscription limits diffusion to smartphones and tablets.

The L1 channels will be distributed, for the moment, by operators Orange, SFR, Bouygues and Free, as well as Dazn. The broadcaster of the hexagonal championship last season includes Ligue 1 and Serie A, as well as the French basketball D1, in an offer at 15 euros. Canal+ negotiated an exclusive distribution of Ligue 1+ but did not agree with the LFP. The encrypted chain is currently focusing on the dissemination of the three European cuts in full.
