Good news for football fans! The L’Équipe group is launching a new streaming digital TV channel: L’Équipe Live Foot. With more than 1,000 matches broadcast by the end of 2025, it should please fans.
With qualifying for Euro 2024 in full swing and the Ligue 1 championship resuming in just over two months, broadcasting football matches is becoming a major argument for attracting new customers. For the occasion, the l’Équipe group launched, on June 3, 2024, The Live Football Team, a 100% football streaming digital channel intended for subscribers to the newspaper. On the program on the new platform, which will broadcast 24 hours a day, no less than 400 matches with commentary in 2024 and 700 in 2025, live or recorded. The first highlight will be the Copa America, which begins on June 20 with the Argentina/Canada match.
L’Équipe Live Foot: a new channel for football fans
If certain matches will still be broadcast on the premium channel, the vast majority of the rest will be visible exclusively on L’Équipe Live Foot. During the summer, you will find all the preparation matches of the major European nations – except the French team – for the Euro, the UEFA and FIFA youth competitions, the Copa America – which will be held from June 20 to 14 July -, as well as the pre-season friendlies of major European clubs, such as Real Madrid – which will soon welcome Mbappé! From the start of the school year, the channel will broadcast the qualifying matches of European, American and African nations for the 2026 World Cup, as well as the Italian Cup, the German Cup and the Copa del Rey.
This new channel will allow L’Équipe to broadcast all the matches available to it, which was hardly possible with the only main antenna on TNT, occupied by broadcasts and other sports. A way to reinforce the major axis of the editorial line, namely football.
The Live Foot Team is included in the subscription to the newspaper, which is 6.99 euros per month for the first twelve months, or 7.99 euros without commitment. The new streaming channel is only accessible online, via the L’Équipe website or application. Note that the Chromecast option allows you to transfer the image to your television. However, it is not currently available directly on boxes or on connected televisions – but the group is working on it.
in a crowded audiovisual landscape, where subscriptions to sports channels (Cabal+ and BeIN Sports in the lead) are quite expensive, the arrival of L’Équipe Live Foot constitutes excellent news for football fans, since the channel is included in subscription to the newspaper.
