UEFA: L'Équipe to broadcast Nations League and European qualifiers in France until 2026

The L'Équipe group has acquired the exclusive live broadcasting rights in France for all Nations League matches (excluding the French team, which will be broadcast on a deferred basis) and the European qualifiers until 2026, according to the French sports media company on 23/05/2022.

These rights, acquired from UEFA via the Swiss agency CAA Eleven, include the live broadcasting of 1,040 matches: Nations League 2022-23 and 2024-2025, European qualifiers for Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup. L'Equipe previously held these rights for the 2018-2022 cycle, with the exception of the top fixture not involving the French national team, which, like the matches of Les Bleus, was held by the free TV groups TF1 and M6.

L'Équipe will broadcast 30% of the matches on its free-TV channel and 70% on its platform L'Équipe Live, which is accessible for subscribers to its digital press offer.
