France Télévisions Coupe de France broadcasting dispute

Overview

France Télévisions is considering ending its broadcast of the Coupe de France due to significant budgetary constraints. The public broadcaster is under pressure to achieve substantial savings by 2027, leading to a review of sports rights expenditures.

Negotiations between France Télévisions and the Fédération Française de Football (FFF) have reportedly stalled. The broadcaster has suggested reducing its annual payments for the rights from 8 million to 4 million euros, a proposal the FFF considers insufficient. While the competition has been available on free-to-air television for nearly twenty years, its future accessibility remains uncertain as the FFF seeks a compromise or potential support from public authorities.
