Overview
- A joint communiqué issued Thursday by TF1 and L'Équipe confirmed that Téléfoot will stay on TF1 and return at the start of the autumn season after a planned summer hiatus.
- The programme is scheduled to resume on Sunday, 6 September, in a Sunday‑morning slot on TF1 though some outlets report the airtime as 11:00 and others as 11:30.
- TF1 and L'Équipe will co‑produce a second Téléfoot‑branded weekly magazine to air on La Chaîne L'Équipe and focus on Ligue 1 and wider football coverage.
- Grégoire Margotton is retained as presenter and the shows will draw journalists, columnists and consultants including Bixente Lizarazu, with episodes to be made available on TF1+ under an agreement reported to involve LFP Media.
- The reversal preserves a near‑50‑year French football brand, secures a regular Sunday slot for viewers and could widen Ligue 1 exposure across national TV and streaming while protecting staff and production roles.
