TF1, a former broadcaster, will stop broadcasting the World Cup.
It’s thunder. TF1, the historic broadcaster of the World Cup, has lost the rights, according to the latest data from Le Figaro. According to the newspaper, the organization did not need to overcome a higher offer than its own for the rights to the next festival that will take place in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico). The announcement was reportedly made on Tuesday by François Pellissier, deputy general director of business and sports at the TF1 organization, and Julien Millereux, its director of sports for the organizations of the leading channel in France.
Recall that FIFA launched a tender on January 10 for the broadcast of the 2026 and 2030 competitions. Suitors had until Feb. 13 to express their interest. TF1 would have demonstrated this by formulating a “serious” but “much less attractive” proposal than the competition. Enough to ring the glass of their hopes. A big blow.
