LFP obtains a New Block on Websites and IPTV services Illegally Broadcasting Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 Fixtures
As the holder of exclusive audiovisual exploitation rights for the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 championships, the French Professional Football League (LFP) had noted that numerous websites and IPTV services had illegally broadcast certain matches from the end of the 2023-2024 championships. Noting the existence of serious and repeated infringements of the LFP’s rights, the interim relief judge of the Paris Court of First Instance ordered various internet service providers to block access by their subscribers to identified (and yet unidentified) IPTV sites and services until the end of the 2024-2025 competitions.
