10% increases for Italian fans. In Spain, double, 40% less after years of struggles on television rights is spent in France
Savory prices (10%) this year to be football fans from your own home. To watch the games from TV you reach 960 euros per year, according to an easy investigation.it. Spanish supporters also pay double, while the French 40% less, thanks to a long and tormented “war” on television rights.
How much does football cost on TV in Italy for the 2025-2026 season
This year the Italian fans will have to spend at least 710 euros if they choose an annual subscription that allows you to follow Serie A and the Champions League. For those who prefer the monthly formula, you go up to 960 euros in the twelve months. In both cases, the increases are evident: +10% on annual subscriptions, +7% on the monthly ones. Looking only at the Serie A Coa Meno, but still remains demanding: 420 euros for the annual and 540 euros for the monthly. The account grows for those who want to add the European cups. A fan of Rome, Bologna or Fiorentina, engaged in Europe and Conference League, spends up to 900 euros with the monthly package, while the supporters of Inter, Juventus, Naples and Atalanta, protagonists in the Champions League, reach the maximum (960 euros).
Football on TV: how much it costs in the rest of Europe and the “France case”
And how much do you spend in the rest of Europe? In Spain, to follow Laliga and the cups, almost 1,400 euros per year are needed, just under double compared to our country. Football on TV is also dearly in England: about 900 euros for Premier League and Europe. In Germany the account stops at 864 euros, however above Italian expenditure. The real exception is France, where about 600 euros are enough to look at Ligue 1 and Europe. A figure that does not come from nothing, but it is the consequence of years of battles and failures in the management of rights.
It all begins in 2020 with the shoulder strap of Mediapro, the Spanish-Cinese group that had promised over a billion euros for the transmission of the championship. After a few months, however, he retired, leaving a huge hole in the coffers of the Ligue de Football Professionnel. Canal+ and, shortly after, Amazon ran for cover, but the prices drastically took off: from the 700 million that the League hoped, less than 250 million a year. The result? A lowering of expenditure also for end users. First videos, for example, proposed packages of 29.99 euros per month, less than half of the Italian ones. Then last year a new jolt, with the sudden withdrawal of Dazn, who far from the subscriber objectives preferred to pay 85 million to get out of a multi -year contract. Another earthquake and so the Ligue de Football Professionnel this year chose the path of autonomy, transmitting directly on a platform managed by the League itself, for 14.99 euros per month. Canal+ and Bein Sports maintain some packages (the Saturday game and the European cups), but the heart of the offer remains in the hands of the League. An absolute novelty between the great championships in Europe and an obvious reduction of costs for fans, French. The low price is an experiment to attract a large number of subscribers (at least 1.1 million by the end of the season) and retain an audience that for years has been struggling with changes of platforms and sudden increases.
