Clear finals on TF1 until 2024

Altice leaves the hand after a complicated 2019 edition: the group had chosen to broadcast the final unencrypted on BFMTV , despite a prior warning from the CSA. The regulator highlighted its status as a news channel, incompatible with the broadcasting of live sporting events. Ignoring this opinion, BFMTV had attracted 2.5 million viewers, and won a formal notice from the CSA.

TF1 will also broadcast the final of the Champions League in the clear for the seasons from 2021 to 2024. The rest of the matches will be broadcast by Canal + and beIN Sports, which won against RMC Sport.
