Overview

  • DAZN officially terminated its Ligue 1 broadcasting contract, originally set to run until 2029, citing piracy issues and low subscription numbers.
  • The termination required DAZN to pay a €100 million penalty and settle €140 million in overdue fees to Ligue 1 authorities.
  • Ligue 1 faces a significant financial shortfall, with clubs losing €500 million in TV revenue this season following exits by both DAZN and Canal+.
  • DAZN announced a renewed partnership with LaLiga, extending its broadcasting rights in Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Switzerland until 2031.
  • The French Football Federation is reportedly planning to launch its own TV channel to address the broadcasting gap, with DAZN offering support for the initiative.
