The College of Ligue 1 Presidents, together with the Board of Directors, decided to terminate its partnership with DAZN, the main broadcaster of the championship, at the conclusion of the current season. This decision marks the culmination of a long period of tense negotiations on television broadcasting rights, and suggests new complications as the next season approaches.

As part of the meeting of the College of Presidents, which coincided with the end of the mediation, the leaders of French football clearly expressed their willingness to break the contract with DAZN at the end of the season. They expected an amicable resolution, involving the payment of the next two contractual deadlines (30 April and 30 June) and an estimated compensation of between EUR 110 million and EUR 125 million. However, DAZN’s response was a categorical refusal of this proposal, confirming the continuation of the dispute. It should be noted that DAZN had previously assigned the Professional Football League to court, alleging a “observed breach” and a “deceit on the goods”, and claiming compensation of 573 million euros.

Following this failure of mediation, the Professional Football League officially communicated, stating that the contract binding the parties remains in force. LFP MEDIA expects its partner to comply fully with its contractual obligations, thus stressing the complexity of the situation and the uncertainty about the future of the French championship. The question of the resolution of this legal dispute and the search for a new broadcaster therefore remains central to professional football in France.
