In a three-year deal, Disney+ is bringing LALIGA coverage to its subscribers in France, beginning with the 2026/27 season.
The agreement brings every match to ESPN on Disney+, alongside studio shows, original programming, and more. This marks the first time French customers will receive access to all 380 live matches per season from the Spanish football league as part of their subscription. Coverage will be produced by ESPN.
ESPN has agreements with LALIGA in the U.S. and in several European markets, including Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. In the U.K. and Ireland, ESPN on Disney+ delivers one live LALIGA match every Saturday night.
“LALIGA has a strong connection with football fans in France, with many French players making their mark in Spain alongside iconic clubs and unforgettable rivalries, making it a great addition,” said Karl Holmes, GM of Disney+ EMEA. “We can’t wait for our customers to enjoy coverage that feels exciting, different and made for football fans today.”
Diego Londono, SVP and GM for networks and sports at The Walt Disney Company EMEA, added, “As ESPN on Disney+ continues to expand across Europe, bringing LALIGA to customers in France marks another important milestone. Building on our long-standing relationship with LALIGA, this agreement brings one of the world’s leading football competitions to even more fans. With its world-renowned clubs, exceptional talent and football played at the very highest level, LALIGA further strengthens our growing live sports offering on Disney+.”
Javier Tebas, president of LALIGA, noted, “This agreement is another important milestone in our global collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, building on our successful collaborations across the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and most recently the Nordics, and reflects our shared ambition to bring the very best of Spanish football to fans around the world.”
LALIGA has inked a separate deal with DAZN in France.
Brice Daumin, CEO of DAZN France, noted, “LALIGA is one of the world’s most prestigious football competitions, and we are proud to extend our partnership with the league to France. Together with the Ligue 1+ service, Serie A and our other international competitions, we now offer football fans in France one of the most comprehensive football packages on the market.”
