Sports broadcaster and streamer Eleven Belgium has secured rights to Ligue 1 football for the next three seasons.

This agreement was negotiated with beIN Sports, the global sales partner of Ligue 1 Uber Eats.

Eleven will stream an average of seven fixtures each matchday, with the two most popular games each weekend offered in both French and Dutch commentary.
