Olympique Lyonnais-Fenerbahçe to air on Canal+

Olympique Lyonnais’ Champions League play-off return against Fenerbahçe will be shown live on Canal+ on Wednesday evening. Coverage is scheduled to begin at 9pm, while the match will also be available through the group’s MyCanal streaming platform. Canal+ holds the broadcasting rights for European competitions.

The tie is finely balanced after Lyon drew 1-1 at Fenerbahçe in Istanbul one week ago. The second leg will take place at the Groupama Stadium, with the winner earning a place in the Champions League. Lyon therefore needs a victory to complete its return to Europe’s leading club competition.

The match carries importance beyond qualification. Lyon has spent the past two seasons operating under financial pressure and needs the revenue attached to the Champions League after going without television-rights income. Progress would provide a significant financial boost for the club and make this the defining fixture of Paulo Fonseca’s season so far.

The broadcast gives viewers two options through Canal+: the traditional television channel and MyCanal. Kick-off is set for 21:00 on Wednesday.
