The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has officially launched a call for bids for the broadcasting rights to Ligue 1, France's top professional football division. The announcement was made on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, signaling the start of a new media rights cycle for the league.
The tender process will determine which broadcasters and streaming platforms secure the rights to air Ligue 1 matches domestically and potentially internationally for the upcoming rights period. The LFP's move comes as football leagues across Europe navigate evolving media landscapes and seek to maximize revenue from broadcast partnerships.
Details regarding the specific packages available, the duration of the rights cycle, and the timeline for the bidding process were not immediately disclosed in the initial announcement. Interested parties are expected to submit proposals according to the terms set out by the league's governing body.
