Paris (AFP)
Between the newcomer Amazon, the historic Canal + and great uncertainty about Ligue 1, the French viewer will have to increase subscriptions this season if he wants to follow all the football competitions.
.
Ligue 1: Amazon and…?
The e-commerce giant Amazon will broadcast 8 matches per day of Ligue 1 - the Sunday multiplex (3 p.m.), the Sunday evening match (8:45 p.m.), that of Sunday at midday (1 p.m.) and that of Friday (9 p.m. ) - including in particular the 10 best posters of the season.
For the two other matches per day of Ligue 1 (Saturday 9:00 p.m. and Sunday 5:00 p.m.), it is a total blur: beIN Sports is the holder of this famous "lot N.3", but the Qatari channel has sublicensed it to Canal +, which should normally broadcast it until 2024. Except that the encrypted channel refuses to do so at this price, just like beIN.
Several court decisions are expected in the days preceding the first day and it is not impossible that the broadcaster of these matches will change during the season.
Price: 12.99 per month for the Premier Video Ligue 1 pass, to be added to an Amazon Prime subscription (5.99 euros per month or 49 euros per year).
.
Ligue 2: the L'Equipe channel, Amazon and beIN Sports
Thanks to an agreement with Amazon, the L'Equipe channel, available on TNT channel 21, will broadcast the Ligue 2 multiplex throughout the season, most of the time on Saturdays at 7 p.m.
The eight matches in this multiplex are also available in full on the L'Equipe website and app until the end of September.
Then, only the multiplex will remain on the L'Equipe channel, while the entire matches will be broadcast on Prime Video.
The other two matches of each day (Saturday at 3:00 p.m. and Monday at 8:45 p.m.) are broadcast on beIN Sports.
Price:
The Team: free.
Amazon: 12.99 per month for the Amazon Prime Video Ligue 1 pass, to be added to an Amazon Prime subscription (5.99 euros per month or 49 euros per year).
beIN Sports: 15 euros per month.

The final in the clear will be on TF1.
Price:
Canal +: 21.99 euros per month (24-month commitment or digital subscription without commitment) or 26.99 euros per month (12-month commitment).
beIN Sports: 15 euros per month.
RMC Sports: 19 euros per month (12-month commitment) or 25 euros per month without commitment for the digital subscription, 9 euros per month (12-month commitment) or 15 euros per month without commitment for SFR box customers.

Europa League and Europa League Conference: W9, Canal + and RMC Sport
For the C3 and the new Europa Conference League, Canal + and the M6 group, via its W9 channel, will co-broadcast the best match of each week, to choose from between the two competitions.
They will also broadcast the final of these two competitions, making 16 matches in all during the season.

Foreign championships: Canal +, RMC Sport, beIN Sports ...
The English Championship will be co-broadcast by Canal + and RMC Sport, like the previous season.
