Finally some good news for French football consumers! The price of the subscription including Ligue 1 has finally been revised downwards.
On Thursday, the Professional Football League awarded eight Ligue 1 matches per matchday to DAZN for €400 million per season. To make this investment profitable, the British sports streaming service had initially considered a monthly subscription that could amount to €40.
Upon learning of this price, many Ligue 1 followers expressed their indignation, threatening not to take out the subscription or to find an (illegal) alternative via IPTV. According to
The TeamDAZN decision-makers have taken into account public concern. Thus, the subscription price should be revised downwards, around 25 euros per month.
Ligue 1 TV rights, club presidents are worried
Several club presidents playing in the elite of French football had also expressed their discontent regarding such rates, notably that of Racing Club de Lens. ” To have access to the entire Championship, it will now be necessary to have a DAZN subscription (8 matches out of 9) which will cost around 35 euros and a belN subscription (for the weekend’s match) at 15 euros per month. 50 euros monthly, between 500 and 600 annually, this is the (expensive) price to pay to follow Ligue 1″wrote Joseph Oughourlian in a message posted on LinkedIn.
Even if DAZN lowers the price initially planned, it does not mean that it will be fixed. In Italy, the group created in 2015 has just announced that the subscription of the contract to watch the entire Serie A has increased from 34.99 to 44.99 euros per month.
