TV rights for Serie A in France continue to be talked about. La Chaine L'Equipe wants to offer a free-to-air match to viewers but will have to deal with… DAZN.
beiN Sports lost the rights to Serie A in France and for many weeks, the Italian championship was not broadcast in France. A solution seemed to have been found, with the arrival of La Chaine L'Equipe which partially acquired the rights. But now, the media can no longer broadcast matches on its antenna. The reason? A problem with DAZN, rights holder in Italy.
DAZN blocks everything, L’Equipe calms things down
In recent hours, journalist Guillaume Maillard-Pacini has said more about this major problem in a post on X: “TV rights/Serie A: The L'Equipe group is still looking for a solution to broadcast, as initially planned, a match in the clear out of the two at its disposal. What is blocking is simple: the problem comes from Switzerland and the Italian border areas, which have access to the channel. DAZN (rights holder) is very attentive to the matter and does not rule out possible legal action, hence the caution and desire to resolve this conflict of rights”. As long as this issue is not resolved, no Serie A on a French channel, which is becoming more and more eccentric, knowing that DAZN already has more than just friends in France… As a reminder, the Italian championship in is on its 12th day. And unfortunately for his fans in France who can't follow much, the fight for the title promises to be huge this season. There are in fact only two points difference between the first, Naples, and Juve, 6th. Napoli, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter, Lazio and Juve all believe in their Scudetto dream in a few months.
