PARTNERSHIP WITH LALIGA

LaLiga and CANAL+ Group have announced the renewal of the pay TV French language rights of the Spanish football league for several seasons, which will now be exclusive to its subscribers in Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and Mauritius.

The production of programs dedicated to the league will be strengthened through this partnership. Indeed, as soon as LaLiga resumes on August 12, CANAL+SPORT channels, which are also available on the CANAL+ Application, will offer live coverage in each round of selected matches of LaLiga and LaLiga SmartBank (2nd Spanish division), as well as of the magazines LaLiga World and LaLiga SmartBank Highlights.

CANAL+ African subscribers will enjoy the best matches of this unique competition and its legendary clubs, including Real Madrid or FC Barcelona, and the great stars of the league such as Karim Benzema, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Vinícius Júnior, João Félix, Franck Kessié, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Samuel Chukwueze, Robert Lewandowski, or Yassine Bounou.

After recently renewing the rights of the Premier League, CANAL+ is positioned more than ever as the only sports broadcaster in Sub-Saharan Africa to offer to its subscribers all the major European football leagues (Ligue 1 Uber Eats, LaLiga, Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A), as well as the UEFA Champions League and CAF competitions.
