Television Unlike, for instance, the
BBC,
France Television didn't offer any program to the French public about Rugby League.
Sport en France cover the Championship across their television platforms nationwide. Coverage includes the match of the week and one match from each week of the playoffs including the Grand Final. From 2020, some Elite 1 games are televised by a local channel
ViàOccitanie; this is a free-to-air channel in the South of France but they are also available on the internet and via the
triple play internet devices. Therefore, they offer, indirectly, free nationwide coverage of the domestic championship. Presently, French clubs have to fund the broadcast of their own games or to televise their own matches themselves via the
social networks or
YouTube.
Radio Radio Marseillette, a local Southern radio, has rugby league debate and news every Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00. They also have commentary on some Elite League games.
Press The French national mainstream media has, for a long time, been disinterested to follow the game, occasionally, some articles about the sport are published in newspapers such as
Le Monde,
Le Figaro or the national Sport newspaper
L'Équipe. Nevertheless, there is undoubtedly a French specificity: the Weekly Rugby Union magazine
Midi Olympique has a one-page section devoted to Rugby League. However, only two local newspapers genuinely cover the game;
L'Indépendant ( based in the South of France) and
la Dépêche du Midi (based in the South west of the country). The
British Rugby League press cover this championship; for example magazines like
Rugby Leaguer & League Express offer a weekly report of the games. In
Australia, the monthly publication
Rugby League Review offer a few columns about the games as well. ==Gallery==
