An amendment to a bill aiming to overhaul professional sports in France could soon allow one Ligue 1 match per week to be broadcast free on terrestrial television. The proposal is being examined by the National Assembly today.

Currently, to watch any Ligue 1 game, fans must subscribe to the Ligue1+ platform, which costs €15 per month and has around one million subscribers.

Unsurprisingly, the idea has thrilled football supporters, as noted by journalist Grégoire Morelli.
