What is Ligue 1+?
Ligue 1+ is the channel and streaming platform run directly by the Ligue de football professionnel (LFP), the body that manages the French league. Born of the league's wish to take back control of broadcasting its own product, it offers the vast majority of Ligue 1 matches live. In practice, it is now the main legal way to follow the French league in 2025-2026.
Unlike a traditional channel needing a decoder, Ligue 1+ works as a modern streaming service: you subscribe online and watch via an app, on the device of your choice. There is no special hardware to install.
What does Ligue 1+ show?
Ligue 1+ shows the vast majority of Ligue 1 fixtures on each matchday. One fixture per round remains on beIN SPORTS, under the current rights deals. Around the matches, the platform usually offers editorial content: previews, analysis, multiplex and magazine shows. For full league coverage, Ligue 1+ therefore combines with beIN SPORTS.
