The 2024-2025 Ligue 1 season has started. And this season, it is the DAZN platform that is establishing itself as the main broadcaster of the championship matches with the support of beIN Sport.
The English platform is not unanimous in the eyes of the general public but also of the greatest observers. Indeed, it is valued between 30 and 40 euros per month. A sum considered too high for football lovers who prefer to connect massively on Telegram to illegally enjoy the matches.
“Football fans didn’t really boycott DAZN, since on Telegram, it’s DAZN that they watch. They simply avoided paying for the only channel that agreed to give money for L1,” Hugo Guillemet had declared in the newspaper L’Équipe in an edition published on August 18.
In an interview with the newspaper l‘TeamMontpellier president Laurent Nicollin spoke on the
DAZN bashing. For him, the subscription is not that high and made a strange comparison.
“I would like to tell people to stop DAZN bashing. Subscriptions are vital for the clubs’ economy, if they reach 1.5 million subscribers, the clubs will receive a collective bonus of €50 million. For me, constantly complaining that nothing is going well is inconsistent. The contract is signed, I am loyalist,”
he let go.
Before continuing his speech: “My friends all subscribe to beIN. And for DAZN, I would tell them: €30 is the price of a restaurant on a Friday night. So that’s one Friday out of four in the month where you don’t go to a restaurant to pay for your DAZN subscription. That’s my comparison. Everything is proportional.” Statements that should make the general public react.
