Image via Getty Apple are reportedly in discussions with the Ligue de Football Professionnel to acquire Ligue 1 broadcasting rights through 2029. The American company expressed initial interest in the rights to the LFP and both parties have since engaged in multiple conversations over a potential acquisition. No official offer has been made yet, but the LFP could net up to €800m from the deal.With few other broadcasting rights available, Apple’s interest in the league has only grown. The LFP received no offers in October, and due to an ongoing conflict with usual bidders Canal+, an Apple TV acquisition is looking increasingly likely. Apple TV is already home to the MLS and a myriad of other live sports, but an international expansion into one of the biggest football leagues in the world would only bolster their already growing catalogue. Amazon Prime currently broadcasts a select number of Premier League games in the UK, while Netflix has long been rumoured to be after major sports rights, but the MLS is the first league to exclusively sign with a streaming partner for every single game, and Ligue 1 could be set to follow next.
