Antitrust authority rejects Canal's claim in Amazon French soccer rights row

France’s Autorite de la Concurrence said in a statement it had not found “sufficient evidence” to back the claim that LFP treated them differently from Amazon when it re-allocated to Amazon the bulk of the rights for Leaque 1 matches until 2024 that were previously held by Spanish broadcaster Mediapro.

The broadcast contracts help fund France’s soccer clubs.
