As of the 17th day of Ligue 1, the LFP (Professional Football League) decided this Thursday that the kick-off of Saturday evening matches will be moved to 9:05 p.m. to allow “better editorialization” of the pre-matches.
On social networks, several subscribers to DAZN, broadcaster of L 1 since the start of the season, showed themselves disappointed by the channel’s pre-matches and the continuous advertisements during half-time of the matches. “Decided in consultation with DAZN, this arrangement will also apply for Friday evening at 9:05 p.m. in the event that a match is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Consequently, for the days already scheduled, the following kick-offs are postponed to 9:05 p.m.,” explains the League press release.
The changes apply from this weekend on the 17th and final day of the first leg.
