Basketball is coming to L'Équipe channel. The group will broadcast from November 19 certain matches of Asvel, the Lyon-Villeurbanne club chaired by Tony Parker, in Euroleague, the most prestigious of European club competitions. Good news for fans of the sport, who have little opportunity to see matches in the clear.
Good news for all basketball fans. The L'Équipe channel (channel 21) will broadcast live some matches of the Euroleague, the most prestigious European club competition. These will be the ten best posters of Asvel, the Lyon-Villeurbanne club which is chaired by former French international Tony Parker. A purchase of television rights which remains rare since it concerns only one club, a first for the channel. This reflects the desire of the leaders to hoist Asvel to the top of European basketball.
What good news !
The best matches of @LDLCASVEL in Euroleague will be broadcast on @lachainelequipe!
We are very happy with this agreement to make basketball even more visible and accessible to everyone.
See you on November 19 against Barcelona!

Few matches in the clear
This is "the kind of challenge that particularly appeals to the L'Équipe channel", explains the media director.
This arrival of basketball on a free TNT channel should satisfy, a little, fans of this sport who do not have many unencrypted matches to get their teeth into.
Indeed, no broadcaster has acquired the rights to the French championship, despite the success of the French teams during the last Olympic Games in Tokyo.

On the L'Équipe channel, Asvel matches will be broadcast unencrypted.
The first poster broadcast will be the beautiful confrontation between the club of Lyon-Villeurbanne and Barcelona, on November 19.
