For ” Backment observed ” And ” deception on goods “, DAZN assigned the Professional Football League in justice, demanding 573 million euros for damages. While the British platform tapped a first year at 1.5 million subscribers-seduced by the 2.5 million viewers potentially announced by the LFP-500,000 faithful would be there today.
Mandated by the Paris Commercial Court in this procedure, a mediator has made the link in recent days between Dazn and the members of the League office. And the dialogue according to the team this Monday evening is far from peaceful since the sums at stake are considerable.
The aforementioned sports daily ensures that losses for the media group would be understood ” Between 200 and 250 million euros this season ». Information shared by the mediator with the LFP. Dazn's revenues at this hour confined to 120 million euros at best.
240 million losses for Dazn
This season, however, the calibrated deal over five years only provides 325 million euros in the boxes of the league and the elite clubs – the agreement going crescendo in terms of TV rights. The operating costs of the platform for Ligue 1 being valued at 35 million euros per year. Or a global envelope of 360 million euros.
According to such data, the dry loss for Dazn in this first year of operation would therefore be close to 240 million euros. A chasm that pushes the group to consider disengagement at the end of this 2024-2025 exercise. The Team says that the leaders of Ligue 1 clubs would agree on such an outcome if Dazn agreed to pay a compensatory indemnity of 200 million euros for this lease. An amicable outcome highly improbable according to the mediator.
