Sport en France (French pronunciation: [spɔʁ ɑ̃ fʁɑ̃s]) is a French free-to-air sports television channel. It was launched in 2019 and is headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris. In 2020, the channel signed on a content exchange program with France Televisions. Sport en France was originally commissioned by the French National Olympic and Sports Committee to provide a national television platform for amateur olympic sports. Reworld Media, best known for publishing the local versions of magazines Closer and Grazia, won the tender to produce the channel’s content.[2] However, coinciding with Sport en France’s launch window, a significant consolidation of the French sports television landscape led to the channel obtaining rights to several professional sports properties, somewhat altering its mission statement and boosting its profile.[3] In 2019, the Ligue Butagaz Énergie (the national women’s handball league) was rebuffed by outgoing broadcaster beIN Sports in its demand that production costs associated with its no-rights-fee deal be covered by the channel rather than by the league, despite the fact that beIN was ramping up its production effort for the men’s counterpart, the Lidl Starligue, to the full 182-game schedule. As a result, the Ligue Butagaz Energie became the first professional league to sign with Sport en France.
