The French Professional Football League (LFP) has published the full list of platforms who will distribute its new Ligue 1+ channel, starting with the 2025–2026 season.

The list includes Orange, Bouygues Telecom, Free, SFR and DAZN. The platform will also be available via OTT.

Canal+ remains a notable absentée, having told the LFP that its pricepoints would make the service uneconomic. For its part LFP has not ruled out adding additional platforms at a later stage.

From 15 August, the Ligue 1+ channel will broadcast the ten biggest matches of the season, eight live matches each matchday from Friday to Sunday, along with a major free-to-air highlights show on Sunday evening. The ninth match screened live by beIN Sports will be time-delayed.

On August 17, the big Sunday evening match between Nantes and PSG will be available free-to-air.

Ligue1+ will then be available at €14.99/month. Those under the age of 16 will be able to receive the channel at €9.99/month, though restricted to mobiles, tablets and computers.
