A significant figure.

Ligue 1 is already making plans for next season, particularly regarding the number of viewers needed to maintain the value of broadcast rights.

Details: Vincent Chaudel, founder of the Sports Business Observatory, told L’Équipe that Ligue 1 needs to attract over two million subscribers next season to prevent financial losses.

Quote: “More than 2 million subscribers are needed. That’s clear. For example, Amazon had 1.5 million subscribers. This means you need to achieve better results than Amazon. However, when working with Amazon, it wasn’t solely about football; you had Amazon Prime involved. That’s where the challenge is,” Chaudel noted.

Reminder: The Professional Football League has decided to support PSG by moving their match against Lens to a later date. Lens opposed this change, but the match will not occur as initially scheduled.
