A new program in place of the Canal Football Club

TIC-TAC, TIC-TAC, TIC-TAC … The start of the 2025-2026 season is fast approaching to the pleasure of round ball lovers! It is the winning PSG of the Champions League (5-0 against the Inter) then finalist of the Club World Cup (beaten 3-0 by Chelsea, on July 13) which launches hostilities. The formation of Luis Enrique, after a very short preseason, will compete in the European Super Cup against Tottenham, the winner of the Europa League, Wednesday August 13 (9 p.m.). It will be on Canal+.

In ten days, everything will jostle, since, in addition to Ligue 1, the Premier League and the Liga will also kick off their respective season! And Canal+ struck hard by announcing the clear broadcast – free of charge! -of the opening match of the English championship between Liverpool and Bournemouth, Friday 15 (9 p.m.), to annoy the launch of Ligue 1+, the new LFP platform, which will offer the Stede Rennais-OM shock this evening (8:45 p.m.).

Canal+ obviously wants to put sticks in the wheels of the LFP, with which it has long negotiated in order to become the exclusive distributor of Ligue 1+ channels. The encrypted chain will obviously be able to count on its partner BeIN Sports, which, in addition to Ligue 2, will take advantage of the start of the Liga to capsize fans of Real Madrid and Barça. The Blaugranas start on Saturday 16 (7:30 p.m.) in Mallorca, while Kylian Mbappé and his teammates have a first match against Osasuna the following Tuesday.

While waiting for the resumption of Canal Football Club…

Sunday afternoon (5.30 p.m.), the very first PL poster offered by Canal+ sees Arsenal and his new Viktor Gyökeres goalscore landing at Old Trafford to face a Manchester United in full reconstruction (Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were recruited for 150 million euros!). In the wake of the game, around 7:30 p.m., Canal+ (still on the Premium channel) will offer the program The Weekend In order to return to the first day. To see if Hervé Mathoux will be the presenter, but Tom Williams, the English specialist of C+, should respond present.

In fact, every Sunday on Canal+, the first league shock of 5.30 p.m. is then followed by the Canal Football Club. But the Sunday program led by Laure Boulleau and Bertrand Latour (which was selected after agreeing to join RMC) will therefore not be back immediately. THE
CFC Usually resumes its rights on the first weekend in September. The season has therefore resumed for two weeks.
