Besiktas vs Marseille: kick-off time and TV channel

Beşiktaş and Olympique de Marseille kick off their Europa League campaign with a match set for a lively atmosphere at Tüpraş Stadium in Istanbul. As reported by RMC Sport, the game is on Thursday 17 September at 21:00, and will be shown live and exclusively on Canal+.

Kick-off time and broadcast

The broadcast is tied to Canal+ Sport. RMC Sport details the pricing as 29.99 euros per month for the first year, then 39.99 euros thereafter, with a two-year commitment.

On the pitch, Beşiktaş arrive in strong form. The article says they sit near the top of the Süper Lig, boasting four wins and one loss from their first five matches, including a 3-0 win over Erzurumspor.

There is, however, a concern for the Turkish side: Ridvan Yilmaz is dealing with a thigh issue and is described by RMC Sport as likely to miss out. The same update also brings a boost, with Dusan Vlahovic returning to the group, adding weight to their attacking options.

Marseille need a response

For Marseille, the focus is on turning things around. RMC Sport highlights that the French club are going through a tough stretch, with three straight defeats, the most recent being a 1-0 loss at Stade Rennais. In Istanbul, this match is presented as a chance to regain their edge as they begin their European run.

In short: Thursday 17 September at 21:00, live on Canal+, at Tüpraş Stadyumu—according to RMC Sport.
