The French championship for free on your screens, it is possible. Up to a certain point…

The claims of the new broadcaster of Ligue 1 – DAZN – have stunned all the followers of the French championship. Between 30 and 40 euros per month to have access to eight of the nine matches per day – so 45 to 55 euros including the 15 euros of beIN Sports to obtain all the matches – the bill is obviously considered steep, even prohibitive. All the more so in a difficult economic context.

To celebrate its debut in broadcasting the French elite, the British platform has already promised a free-to-air match, without any subscription: the poster for the first round between Toulouse and Nantes, scheduled for Sunday, August 18 at 5 p.m. But that’s not the only good news for those who don’t want to bet a penny on the new system.

Excerpts and summaries almost live

In association with Free, DAZN today validated the principle of the almost live rebroadcast of numerous extracts for each of the championship matches. Thanks to the Free FOOT application, sports fans will have free access to a wide range of content, including near-live excerpts and summaries of eight matches from each day of Ligue 1 McDonald’s, analyses and expert commentary to decipher the matches and the performances of the players. “, congratulates Free in a press release.

Access to exclusive content such as player interviews and behind-the-scenes training sessions and on Free FOOT social networks: competitions and interactions with fans “, the Internet service provider also points out. It should be noted that the first reports regarding the number of DAZN subscribers two days before the launch of Ligue 1 are alarming. Could the shadow of the Mediapro fiasco already be hanging over the elite?
