Historically broadcast on public channels, the 24 hours of Le Mans are broadcast on a private channel. Indeed, the team has acquired the TV rights and will broadcast the 2021 edition.
France Télévision had previously broadcast the 24 hours of Le Mans, but the combination of the past is now in place since the television rights to the Mancelle test have been acquired by the channel L'Equipe. A logical takeover for the COA, responsible for organizing the event:
"France Télévisions offered us a great visibility so far on the 24 hours of Le Mans, but did not give us any on the rest of the World Championship. The WEC is booming. Brands are coming back like Ferrari, Porsche, Peugeot and Audi, which will all race by 2023 with Toyota. For us, there was a kind of logic to find all the WEC events in the same place, with a complete offer on different media. By joining forces with the Team, we will have a guaranteed visibility."
"for us, Le Mans will start on Wednesday and end on Sunday evening. Our special envoys will take us through the last moves, the trials, the hyper pole qualification, the Friday parade, etc. We will also broadcast the support races played on the main circuit (the Porsche Cup, Road to Le Mans and endurance Racing legends)".

Let us recall that the 24 hours of Le Mans have been postponed until August 21 and 22.
