France Télévisions and W9 will broadcast the matches of Les Bleues until 2027

The matches of the French women’s team will be broadcast on France Télévisions and W9 during the next four seasons (2023-2027), the French Football Federation said in a press release on Tuesday June 13. A new agreement until 2029 with Canal+ concerning the championship was also announced.

These choices were endorsed during an FFF executive committee meeting. They do not concern the broadcast of the World Cup, organized from July 20 to August 20, 2023 in Australia and New Zealand, the rights to which have still not been allocated. After the World Cup, the matches of Les Bleues will in any case be broadcast on W9, the current broadcaster, as well as on France 2 and France 3, from the 2023-2024 season until the 2028-2029 season included. This includes the new Nations League, Euro 2025 and World Cup 2027 qualifying and all friendlies in the period.

The championship still on Canal+

This cooperation “will offer an unprecedented exhibition to our Bleues who will benefit from the combined power of two major audiovisual groups”, welcomed the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, quoted in a press release. The French championship (women’s D1) will continue to be broadcast by the Canal+ group, until 2029, but under different conditions from the current contract.

Each day, two posters will have the honors of a “prime” live “on the channels and services of the Canal+ group”, Friday and Sunday evenings at 9:00 p.m. The private channel will also broadcast the final championship tournament scheduled for next season, i.e. the semi-finals, the final and the match for third place. The other matches will be broadcast on the Vivendi group’s Dailymotion. “The contract also includes the broadcast of the Champions Trophy”between the French champion team and the winner of the Coupe de France, writes the FFF.
