French football’s Ligue de football professionnel (LFP) will launch its long-awaited TV rights tender on Friday according to French media reports.
The league’s present deal is worth €600 million a year with pay-broadcaster Canal Plus. The new deal will run from 2008-09 to 2011-12.
The league can finally launch the tender after receiving permission to sell its rights for a four-year term from the French competition authority last week.
According to French media reports, the league will offer 12 packages. Last time around the league sold its rights in just four packages.
