Why La Liga is not available on DAZN and Disney+(new co-broadcasters of Liga in France) in some overseas territories ?

Wait 5 sec.

Despite DAZN and Disney+ acquiring the broadcasting rights for France (both with show all the 380 games), La Liga is not available on either platform in Guadeloupe and Martinique, as those two overseas departments—along with Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy—were not included in the call for tenders. After 14 seasons on beIN Sports, La Liga switched broadcasters in France this summer, signing deals with DAZN and Disney+ that run through the end of the 2028–2029 season. And while Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal have returned to the pitch in recent days, the change is accompanied by some questions. In several French territories, it is impossible to access the Spanish league on either of the two platforms. Although Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin, and Saint-Barthélemy were previously able to watch La Liga on beIN Sports just like the rest of the country, these four islands no longer enjoy the same access as the rest of the national territory. This situation has been highlighted by consumers, but DAZN and Disney are powerless to do anything about it. This territorial limitation is not a choice made by the two new broadcasters but rather by the rights holder, who did not include these four French territories in the tender process or the contracts signed with the new partners. "The French overseas territories were not excluded from the broadcast," La Liga clarifies. "Regarding the distribution of audiovisual rights, these territories are subject to separate broadcasting agreements. Consequently, they are not included in the packages acquired by DAZN and Disney+ for metropolitan France." These territories were included in a package acquired in the Caribbean region by Sportsmax, which shut down in the summer of 2025. The Spanish league is currently broadcast in the Caribbean via the Rush Sports channel, which has local distributors in almost all the territories. In Saint-Martin or Saint-Barthélemy, for instance, residents can access La Liga via IdealTV, but there does not appear to be a specific distributor for Martinique and Guadeloupe.   submitted by   /u/Moug-10 [link]   [comments]
