Erm, they are planning to finish this season C.
The current L 1 season end scheduled for July 25
By trying not to start too late next season, the LFP wants above all not to jeopardize the first installments of Mediapro, the main broadcaster of the Championship between 2020 and 2024. The Spanish group must pay € 780 million annually for the L1. Canal + must pay € 330 million per year and Free € 50 million. For Ligue 2, the fees are € 64 million per year, shared between Mediapro (€ 34 million) and beIN Sports (€ 30 million).
In addition, in the scheme imagined by the LFP, the current season, stopped on the eve of the 29th day, if it resumes, should end on July 17 for Ligue 2 and July 25 for League 1. The will is to leave some room for play-offs and play-offs and have it all done by August 2. Knowing that the end of the European cups (Champions League and Europa League) could be played in August.
