A breakthrough has emerged in the ongoing Ligue 1 TV rights saga. In an official statement, the French Professional Football League (LFP) announced on Thursday that it has reached an initial agreement with DAZN, the league’s primary broadcaster, which had yet to settle its latest installment.
The British streaming platform has now fulfilled its obligation, paying the outstanding €35 million.
The LFP confirmed that “with DAZN having settled the January 2025 payment, the league has withdrawn the emergency legal proceedings it had initiated.” However, the statement also noted that “discussions are ongoing to resolve all outstanding issues between the LFP and DAZN.”
While this payment marks a positive step forward, negotiations remain crucial in ensuring stability for Ligue 1’s broadcasting future.
