The L'Équipe group sent a letter this Wednesday to the digital platform Skweek to inform it of its desire to end the contract. Skweek signed an agreement at the start of the season with the National Basketball League to be the broadcaster of French basketball until 2030.
Unless agreed with the authorities, the next matches will not be produced or broadcast. Logically, the rights to French basketball could also be put on the market in the summer. The League would now discuss over-the-counter with the Team to find a solution to the situation. The damage amounts to several million euros. An exorbitant cost which therefore caused the rupture. A sad first but one that should be repeated quickly... And probably for a long time. The match of the 31st day of the Betclic Élite between Roanne and Monaco, which takes place this Wednesday evening, will ultimately not be visible on the Skweek digital platform. Instead, basketball fans will be treated to a black screen.
