Further, beIN SPORTS has exclusively sublicensed its 2020 through 2024 Ligue 1 football rights to Canal+. This will enable Canal+ subscribers to enjoy two games on each match day\u2014including 28 of the 38 top Ligue 1 games of each season\u2014starting from the 2020-2021 season. The exclusive agreement runs for a renewable period of five years.<\/p>\n<p>Canal+ and beIN SPORTS will both retain their identities, brands and editorial autonomy and will continue to respond independently to sports rights tenders.<\/p>\n<p>Yousef Al-Obaidly, president of beIN SPORTS France and CEO of beIN Media Group, said: \u201cThe French sports TV market faces a fascinating few years ahead as the over-crowded market inevitably undergoes some radical change. Broadcasters with premium content who have paid proportion rights fees\u2014supported by rational business plans\u2014will thrive. This is precisely where beIN SPORTS is now positioned thanks to this partnership with Canal+. This partnership is a major step in our ambitious long-term growth plans for France.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maxime Saada, chairman of the Canal+ Group Executive Board, said: \u201cWe are delighted with the partnership with beIN SPORTS, whose amazing sport offer perfectly complements our own one. This partnership, which is great news both for our subscribers and all sports fans, will enable Canal+ to continue to broadcast Ligue 1 beyond the current season with 28 of the top 38 games of each season exclusive until 2024. We are very honored by the trust that beIN SPORTS places in us to distribute its channels in France.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canal+ Group and beIN SPORTS have closed their exclusive distribution and sub-licensing deal that was announced in December of last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":9972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[215,538],"class_list":["post-9971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bein-sports","tag-canal-group"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Canal+ Group &amp; beIN SPORTS Finalize Pact - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Canal+ Group &amp; beIN SPORTS Finalize Pact - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Canal+ Group and beIN SPORTS have closed their exclusive distribution and sub-licensing deal that was announced in December of last year.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-02-12T16:24:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-02-12T17:47:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/canal-bein-sports-0220.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"384\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"288\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/\",\"name\":\"Canal+ Group &amp; beIN SPORTS Finalize Pact - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-12T16:24:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-02-12T17:47:07+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/02\/12\/canal-group-bein-sports-finalize-pact\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Canal+ Group &amp; beIN SPORTS Finalize Pact\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
