Amazon arrival in French football sparks boycott from Canal+
Canal+ said it was not prepared to share the rights with Amazon.
“Canal+ will not, therefore, be broadcasting Ligue 1,” it said in a statement.
With less than two months to go before the start of the 2021-2022 French season in early August, the French league (LFP) TV rights picture has again been thrown into chaos.
The LFP had been scrambling to find replacements for Spanish-Chinese company Mediapro, which abandoned its record deal last season.
On Friday, the LFP opted to split the Ligue 1 rights between Canal+ and Amazon, also awarding the US retail giant a share of Ligue 2 games with beIN Sport.
