beIN Sports Extends Broadcast Rights for Coupe de France Until 2030

beIN Sports has renewed its broadcasting partnership with the French Football Federation (FFF) for the Coupe de France, extending coverage for an additional four seasons through to 2030. This new agreement, effective from July 2026, grants beIN Sports exclusive rights to 53 matches and co-broadcast rights for 10 matches, totaling 63 games. The renewal represents a significant financial commitment with beIN Sports reportedly paying approximately 8 million euros, roughly double the previous amount. This deal also marks beIN Sports’ exit from Ligue 1 broadcasting starting next season, allowing the network to focus on its strengthened role in the Coupe de France.

FFF President Philippe Diallo expressed satisfaction with the continuation of the partnership, highlighting beIN Sports' creativity and dedication that have helped elevate the Coupe de France’s popularity among its 7,362 amateur and professional clubs. The agreement ensures comprehensive coverage of the tournament from the round of 32 onwards, providing fans with extensive access to matches nationwide.

Meanwhile, the FFF is seeking a buyer for the remaining broadcasting rights (lot A), which includes 10 matches such as five from the round of 32, and potentially the final. France Télévisions, the current holder of these rights, faces budget constraints that may limit its renewal prospects. Other broadcasters like TF1, M6, and La Chaîne l’Equipe are considered potential candidates for the lot A rights.
