The LFP announced an emergency measure to avoid seeing DAZN collapse as was almost the case last weekend.
With just a few seconds, followers of French football could have missed a Ligue 1 goal, something extremely rare in the history of our championship. The match between Montpellier and Lille having all the difficulty in the world to end, the meeting between Lyon and Nice began while DAZN 1 was still broadcasting the poster at Mosson. As a result, the channel only picked up the Lyon match after 3 minutes of play, and Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring for OL a few seconds later. A big fiasco narrowly avoided, as it would have been bad form to start the broadcast with a goal already scored.
As a result, in consultation with the LFP, DAZN was authorized to adjust its program schedule and shift the meeting from Sunday to 5:15 p.m. from next January. It will be from the 17th day, that of January 10 to 12, 2025. “ This arrangement of McDonald's Ligue 1 days meets the need to have a greater interval between the end of the match starting at 3:00 p.m. and the start of the matches at 5:15 p.m., and thus to offer viewers better editorialization of the matches at the end of the season. afternoon », confirmed the League.
