The French professional football league, Ligue 1, has officially confirmed a significant scheduling change for its broadcast lineup. Nicolas de Tavernost, the Director General of LFP Media, announced that the popular "multiplex" broadcast will return to its traditional Saturday evening slot starting next season.
For the past several years, the multiplex—which allows viewers to follow multiple simultaneous matches—has been scheduled for Sunday afternoons. This shift back to Saturday evenings is expected to provide a more prominent viewing window for fans across France and international audiences.
The change was confirmed by de Tavernost, signaling a strategic move by LFP Media to optimize viewership and engagement for the league's comprehensive matchday coverage. The Saturday evening slot is traditionally considered prime time for sports broadcasting in France.
This adjustment will affect the scheduling for all participating Ligue 1 clubs, aligning the league's broadcast strategy with historical patterns that many long-time fans may recall. The move is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the league's media presentation and fan experience.
