France Télévisions and Eurosport will jointly broadcast the Olympic Games until 2032, thanks to an agreement made public on Monday.


Fan viewers of the Games can rejoice: for the next ten years, they will be able to watch the events in clear on a public service channel, on France Télévisions for free.

And on Eurosport, if they subscribe.

As reported by L'Equipe, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Monday that it had signed an agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), of which France Télévisions is a part, and Warner Bros Discovery for the broadcasting in 49 European territories of four editions of the Olympic Games: the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina 2026, as well as the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028, 2030 whose organizer is not known and Brisbane in 2032 - as well as the Youth Olympics until 2032.

The EBU and Warner Bros Discovery, which is the owner of Eurosport, have seen their joint offer accepted by the IOC, without the overall amount of it having filtered so far.

“It is a major and historic agreement, estimates Delphine Ernotte Cunci, president of the EBU and France Télévisions, in the columns of the Team.

It secures for 10 years the place of European public television in the broadcasting of the biggest sporting event in the world.

For its part, the EBU said in a press release that "each EBU member will broadcast more than 200 hours of Olympic Summer Games coverage and at least 100 hours of Olympic Winter Games on television, with extensive radio coverage, live streams and reports on the web, apps and social media platforms.

France Télévisions and Eurosport, which had broadcast the Olympic events of 2018, 2020, 2022 and will broadcast the Paris Games in 2024, have therefore secured the retransmission of the sporting event in France for the next ten years.
