MCS snaps up Championnat National rights

French basic-tier sports broadcaster Ma Chaîne Sport has agreed a three-year deal, covering the 2013-14 to 2015-16 seasons, for the rights to the Championnat National, the third-tier of French club football.

Under the terms of the deal, which was agreed with the French Football Federation, MCS will broadcast 20 games per season from the league.

The FFF said the deal would provide “new visibility” to the league and its players.

MCS will begin its coverage with tonight’s game between US Orléans and Bourg Péronnas.
