[]
Advanced Television
France’s Ligue1+ football streaming service, owned by the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), has reached an agreement with FIFA to broadcast all matches from the 2026 World Cup this summer in a deal valued at €20 million.
If the contract is approved by the FIFA council, Ligue 1+ will run all the 104 matches of the competition taking place in the US, Canada and Mexico – including 54 matches co-broadcasting with M6, the FTA broadcaster of the World Cup in France.
The World Cup kicks off on June 11th, and France’s first group match is against Senegal on June 16th.
Ligue1+, which launched in 2025, already shows eight out of nine top flight Ligue 1 football matches per matchday, before streaming all matches from next season.
The court has also dismissed all beIN’s claims, including nearly €57 million in damages it was seeking from LFP Media.
