Ligue 1 is a very French tradition in football. However, the audiovisual landscape has changed so much in recent years that it can sometimes be difficult to find the traditional PSG/OM we’ve all been waiting for now. In the past three years, when the arrival and subsequent death of Mediapro turned everything upside down, broadcast rights have never been more contentious. So let’s explore the different ways to enjoy the Ligue 1 streaming.
How to watch Ligue 1 on stream?
If the 2020 and previous seasons were reserved for well-known actors, the rights to the 2021-2023 seasons now belong to an unlikely actor: Amazon. The American giant has indeed taken back lots from Mediapro of late and has given the right to broadcast 8 out of 10 matches per day in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 until 2024.
The remaining 20% will therefore be seen by Canal, which managed to save 2 games a day in Ligue 1. These are broadcast by beIN Sports, available in the Canal + Sport offer from 34.99 euros per month. for 12 months. But this subscription does not end in Ligue 1 and will also allow you to enjoy the Champions League, Europe, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A.
To truly enjoy streaming Ligue 1, you need access to the Amazon Prime Video platform. A special subscription to Ligue 1 called “Le Pass Ligue 1” is sold there for 12.99 euros per month. As a bonus, you need to add the €5.99 per month Prime Video subscription included in the overall Amazon Prime offer.
