Ligue 1 Conforama: tender for 2020-2024 domestic TV rights launched, auctions on 29/05/2018

The LFP launched the tender for the domestic audiovisual rights to the Ligue 1 Conforama for the 2020-2024 period, following the unanimous vote to do so from its board of directors on 25/04/2018. The tender includes seven lots (see below and document to download) and auctions will be held sequentially, lot by lot, every fifteen minutes, on 29/05/2018, after "a delivery of qualitative offers", by 28/05/2018.

Seven time slots are proposed in this tender:
• one match on Friday at 21:00 CET
• one match on Saturday at 17:00
• one match on Saturday at 21:00
• one match on Sunday at 13:00
• a four-match multiplex on Sunday at 15:00
• one match on Sunday at 17:00
• one match on Sunday at 21:00

The tender includes a secret, undisclosed individual floor price for each of the seven lots; the operator with the best bid (lot by lot) will have the opportunity to "match" the floor price (that is to say, to increase its offer to the floor price) if it is not reached on the first qualitative bid offer. In addition, the LFP has introduced, for the first time, a sub-licence right in each lot.
