In a detailed interview with L'Équipe, Saada characterized the channel's first season as a mixed bag, declaring it a \"success of launch\" and an \"editorial success\" but ultimately an \"economic failure.\"\n\nThe core of Saada's criticism centers on the financial model. He pointed out that approximately €120 million in domestic television rights revenue is set to be redistributed to the clubs. However, he argued that the actual market value, as demonstrated by Ligue 1+'s own performance, is significantly lower. Saada based this on the channel's subscriber base, which he estimated at around one million, with an average revenue per user between €10 and €12 per month.\n\nAfter accounting for all commissions and taxes, Saada calculated that this subscriber model generates just over €100 million annually. \"Today, the value that LFP Media has given it with Ligue 1+ is this one,\" he stated, suggesting the channel's direct-to-consumer approach has effectively reset the market valuation for French top-flight football rights.\n\nDespite the critical economic outlook, Saada did not close the door on collaboration. He explicitly reopened the possibility for Canal+ to distribute Ligue 1+ through its platform. Crucially, he proposed this partnership would operate without a guaranteed minimum payment to the LFP, instead following a \"classic revenue-sharing\" model. This would shift the financial risk away from Canal+ and onto the league's performance in attracting and retaining subscribers.\n\nLooking ahead, Saada highlighted a potential vulnerability for Ligue 1+ during the upcoming summer break. He predicted the channel would \"certainly lose subscribers\" during this period without live matches. To achieve strong growth when the new Ligue 1 season kicks off, Saada argued the channel would need every possible advantage.\n\nIt is in this context of seasonal subscriber churn and the need for a marketing boost that Saada positioned Canal+ as a valuable ally. \"It is in these moments that Canal can be a useful, even precious, partner,\" he remarked, framing the established pay-TV giant as a solution to the fledgling channel's retention challenges.\n\nThe comments come with only two matchdays remaining in the current Ligue 1 season, marking the end of Ligue 1+'s inaugural year. Saada's public critique and conditional offer of partnership represent a significant move in the ongoing negotiations over the future commercial structure of French football's broadcast rights.\n\nBased on reporting from Foot - actualités, mercato, info & vidéo en continu.","news","Maxime Saada calls Ligue 1+ an editorial success but an economic failure, estimating domestic rights value at €100M annually based on 1M subscribers.
