RMC has reduced its scope in terms of sports rights, the channel now seeming to devote itself to combat sports. But a big surprise is possible.
In recent days, the suspense concerning the future broadcaster of Ligue 1 for the period 2024-2029 was mainly to know if Canal+ was going to join Beinsports to take on one or two matches in our championship. DAZN seems to have thrown in the towel after its offer of 500 million euros was refused, and Prime Video does not want to put in more than 100 million euros per year, the mass seemed said for the Professional Football League which is negotiating now over the counter. Except that we learned that Rodolphe Saadé, the boss of CGA CGM had decided to buy BFM and RMC, a deal which should materialize this summer. And now the name RMC Sport is coming back to the forefront to become one of the broadcasters of Ligue 1 from next season.
RMC ready to make an offer for Ligue 1?

Questioned during his show on Twitch, Thibaud Vézirian confirmed that this story on RMC had come back to his ears recently. For those who have been repeating for three years that OM will be sold to the Saudis, perhaps with the presence of CGA CGM in the deal, this would not be a total aberration. “ I have no information on the presence of Canal+, but some say RMC will have billionaire Rodolphe Saadé at its head. Beinsports is the most advanced, DAZN is in ambush. But we will see depending on the date of the formalization (editor’s note: of the sale of OM), we will not know if it will be before or after the allocation of the rights, but we could have a good end to the season (.. .) », Confided the Entrevue journalist. On the side of RMC Sport, there is obviously radio silence on this issue, the intentions of the future owner having not yet been revealed. But Vincent Labrune has everything to gain from seeing one more broadcaster in the battle for TV rights, especially if he still wants to win 900 million euros per season for Ligue 1.
