Ligue 2 Broadcasting Rights: Between Bidding Fluctuations and Public TV Coverage

The Algerian Public Television establishment has opened a call for bids to produce and broadcast the 2026-2027 Ligue 2 amateur season, with technical documents available from November 9. The institution secured the rights for 10 billion centimes following a failed tender process where a private bidder withdrew a 70 billion offer, citing an error, and revised it to 7 billion. This follows a period where 'FIFA+' broadcast matches for free for four seasons. The public broadcaster is currently seeking a technical partner to produce at least six matches per round for YouTube and satellite television. With the Algerian Football Federation currently banning unauthorized filming of matches to protect these broadcasting rights, fans are temporarily left without regular access to game footage while the new system is being finalized.
