TV: Serie A is free in France, for now it's paying

After several weeks of negotiations, the Équipe channel acquired the rights to broadcast one Serie A match per week in October, but this did not go as planned.

Fans of the Italian championship heaved a sigh of relief. While in France, the Serie A had not found any broadcaster since the start of the season, the Équipe channel, as a reminder free and accessible to all, had finally recovered the broadcasting rights for one match per weekend. end in October. Since then, two matches have been broadcast, AC Milan-Naples then Monza-AC Milan, on November 2. This is the last meeting broadcast free of charge by the Team. The following weekend, the channel assured that a problem beyond its control prevented it from being able to offer the Juventus-Torino and Inter Milan-Naples matches, but that these were available via the Live Team, the platform digital from the l'Equipe group.

A Series A broadcast problem soon to be resolved

As reported by journalist Guillaume Maillard-Pacini, the broadcast problem in recent days is linked to a dispute with DAZN, holder of Calcio rights in Switzerland, since Italian border areas also have access to the French channel. The platform initially wishes to resolve these TV rights problems, but this does not mean that the Team will stop broadcasting Serie A in France. While waiting for this problem to be resolved, the Live Foot Team is still broadcasting the Italian championship but unlike the channel, the digital platform is paid for, and it is possible to subscribe to it via a subscription whose price the most accessible was set at 6.99 euros per month subject to a one-year commitment. As at the beginning of the summer, Italian football fans will therefore have to be patient to find the broadcast of the matches for free on the channel.
