At a meeting of the board of directors of the LFP, Nicolas de Tavernost, MD of LFP Media, announced its in-house Ligue 1+ OTT platform has surpassed 1 million subscribers just one month into the new football season. LFP initially indicated that it was targeting 1 million subscribers by the end of the season.

As of September 14th, the service had a reported 1.026 million subscribers, with 72 per cent of users committing to a full-season package.

In a statement, LFP media said the total could be attributed to strong public engagement with the French Ligue 1 championship and its clubs, and an immersive editorial experience.

The Ligue1+ service is distributed in France via DAZN, Prime Video, Orange, RMC Sport, Molotov, Orange, Free, SFR and Bouygues Telecom – although, notably, not Canal+. There is also D2C distribution on Samsung, LG, Google, Apple and FireTV.

Ligue1+ is also available in international markets including through Prime Video in the UK, Pro TV/Voyo in Romania, PBS in Malta, Mono in Thailand, VTVcab in Vietnam and Sky Italia in Italy among other deals.

Ligue1+ is priced at €14.99 per month, with a €9.99 per month promotion (restricted to portable devices) available for those under 16. Game week 5 kicks off on September 19th with Lyon vs Angers.
