French football fans could soon enjoy the thrill of a Ligue 1 match broadcast free-to-air every week. This intriguing possibility is outlined in a new amendment to a proposed law concerning the reform of professional sports, a legislative text currently under review by the National Assembly.
As it stands, viewers wishing to follow Ligue 1 action must subscribe to the dedicated Ligue1+ platform, with monthly fees starting from 15 euros. This platform has garnered an audience of approximately one million subscribers.
