TV rights: the Ligue 2 multiplex, it will be on beIN Sports

The Ligue 2 multiplex has just found a drop-off point.

According to information from L'Equipe unveiled this Thursday, beIN Sports has reached an agreement with Canal + to recover eight matches of each day from the elite's antechamber in addition to the two posters it was already broadcasting.

The multiplex this Saturday, at 7 p.m., will therefore be on one of the channels of the specialized channel.

Canal + had recovered these rights, left vacant after the withdrawal of Mediapro, thanks to its agreement with the Professional Football League, which extends until the end of the season.

Problem, the encrypted channel had to organize its weekends with all the matches of Ligue 1, as well as all the matches of the Top 14. It was therefore in their interest to find an agreement to cede these meetings.

TV rights: despite the return of Canal +, the clubs remain on the edge of the abyss financially

If Canal + added 35 million euros to obtain the rights to Ligue 1 until May, the group had only committed to pay the production costs for the remaining Ligue 2 multiplexes.

Or an envelope of 11 million euros.

Vincent Bolloré's group is pursuing in parallel its legal action against the League, which had not wished to make a global call for tenders after the Mediapro fiasco.

In a position of strength, he should get it for the next three years.
