The level of the French championship has never touched highs like the ones lived in this moment. A EuroLeague powerhouse like AS Monaco, high-level players in teams like ASVEL, SIG Strasbourg, JL Bourg-en-Bresse, and others, without mentioning the impact of Victor Wembanyama.
That’s why a very lucrative TV contract was announced as SKWEEK and the L’Équipe channel will broadcast the LNB Betclic Élite until 2030. As reported by L’Équipe itself, the French league will get 2.5 million euros per year during a seven-season period, starting in 2023-24.
The TV contract stipulates that the entire LNB Betclic Élite regular season and playoffs, as well as the other French competitions like the Leaders Cup and All-Star Game. In the 2022-23 season, AS Monaco won the league by beating Victor Wembanyama’s Metropolitans 92 3-0 in the LNB Finals series. Beating JL Bourg-en-Bresse, ASVEL won the 2023 Leaders Cup instead.
