TF1 Picks PSG Club World Cup Final Over France Women’s Euro Match

Transferring France’s decisive Euro match to TMC to air the PSG final on TF1 has drawn disappointment from Les Bleues.

Coupe du monde des clubs : le PSG étrille le Real Madrid et rejoint Chelsea en finale

Overview

  • TF1 announced it will broadcast Sunday’s Club World Cup final between PSG and Chelsea on its main channel, pushing the France vs Netherlands women’s Euro fixture to TMC.
  • France’s players, including Kadidiatou Diani and Oriane Jean-François, voiced frustration at having no say in the scheduling decision despite understanding the ratings logic.
  • PSG earned its spot in the final with 2–0 and 4–0 wins over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, prompting TF1 to prioritize the fixture after a group‐stage match drew 3.83 million viewers.
  • The switch underscores ongoing tensions between commercial broadcast priorities and calls for greater visibility and agency for women’s football.
  • Les Bleues have already secured wins over Wales and England and need only one point against the Netherlands on TMC to top their Euro group and reach the knockout stage.
