Lille Prepares to Face PSG in an Exciting Ligue 1 Showdown
The third week of the new Ligue 1 season is set to feature a thrilling match between two teams that have achieved maximum points thus far. Lille will host Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday.
Under the management of Luis Enrique, PSG showcased an impressive performance last week, decisively defeating Montpellier with a scoreline of 6-0 at the Parc des Princes. This match saw six different players contributing to the score, highlighting the breadth of talent within the team.
On the other hand, Lille aims to maintain their winning streak after securing a convincing 2-0 victory over Angers last week. As both teams enter this match with perfect records, the anticipation is high for what promises to be an exciting encounter.
The match is scheduled to kick off on September 1 at 8:45 p.m. CET. This corresponds to a 7:45 p.m. BST start in the UK, and for viewers in the United States and Canada, the match will begin at 2:45 p.m. ET or 11:45 a.m. PT. Fans in Australia can tune in early Monday morning at 4:45 a.m. AEST.
For viewers in the United States, BeIN Sports will broadcast the match live, having secured rights for Ligue 1 coverage. Fans can access BeIN Sports through various cable and satellite providers, including Dish Network, Optimum, and Spectrum, with additional options available for cord-cutters through streaming platforms.
YouTube TV remains a popular choice for viewers seeking a cable TV replacement, offering an extensive channel lineup and a user-friendly interface. However, to access BeIN Sports via YouTube TV, subscribers will need to include the Sports Plus add-on for an additional monthly fee.
Sling TV also offers BeIN Sports as part of its Sports Extra add-on. Starting at $40 per month, Sling TV provides flexible options for viewers looking to enjoy Ligue 1 matches.
Fubo is another streaming service catering specifically to sports fans, featuring BeIN Sports in its channel list, alongside numerous other sports networks. Despite its slightly higher price tag, Fubo provides a comprehensive viewing experience for enthusiasts of soccer and other sports.
In Canada, BeIN Sports similarly holds broadcast rights for Ligue 1, available through select cable providers and streaming service Fubo Canada, which offers an economical plan for soccer fans.
In the UK, after TNT Sport‘s decision not to renew its broadcast rights for Ligue 1, fans can now access matches live through the new streaming platform, Ligue 1 Pass. This dedicated service allows fans to watch every match for a subscription fee.
Lastly, for viewers in Australia, no mainstream channel currently holds rights for Ligue 1 matches, but options exist through overseas streaming services. A VPN may also be employed to access broadcasts by masking the user’s location, provided they have a legitimate subscription.
