The French football league says pay-TV channel Canal+ is in breach of contract.
LFP says matches that should be destined for the main channel are instead being broadcast on Canal+ Sport at a loss of 300,000 viewers.
According to LFP the contract clearly says the games should be broadcast on Canal+ itself. Since the beginning of the season both Friday and Saturday games have been shown only on Canal+ Sport with just the Sunday game making it onto Canal+.
Previously three games a week have been broadcast on Canal+ in return for an annual rights fee of €540 million.
