Know it, some OM supporters dedicate an implacable hatred to the L'Equipe chain. The only sports daily in France has always been considered, in Marseille, as a Parisian media (which is not necessarily true). And on the TNT channel, columnists have sometimes caused a scandal in recent years. This was the case in September 2024 when a journalist from the L'Equipe chain used the term “Omerde” Right directly. A fairly improbable skid.
The L'Equipe chain is still in the viewfinder of Marseille fans. The fourth meeting of the team preparation led by Roberto de Zerbi, Tuesday evening against Valence, in Tarragona (Catalonia), is broadcast by Canal 21, but deferred. This was already the case last Saturday during OM-Girona (2-0, goals from Mason Greenwood and Amine Gouiri on penalty).
Valence-OM kick off is thus scheduled at 8:30 p.m. and it will be necessary to wait 9:10 p.m. to see the start of the game on the L'Equipe channel. The audiovisual group bought the TV rights of the two meetings of the vice-champion of France in Spain, but without upsetting its program grid.

This Tuesday, we will have to wait for the outcome of the semi-final of the French pétanque championships (from 6.30 p.m. on the channel). For the followers of Olympique de Marseille who absolutely want to look at this live pre-season shock, it will be necessary to go to the club's Twitch channel, accessible via a subscription of five euros per month.

The first two summer matches of Leonardo Balerdi were broadcast on the YouTube channel, therefore for free, and that made a hearing card despite the two opponents, a Dutch D3 (the Excelsior Maassluis, 5-0 victory) then a promoted in Belgian D2 (the Royal Olympic Club of Charleroi, 1-1). That is to say if OM evenings in the Champions League will delight Canal+…
