More games = more money. And if a league has some rules like "the amount of rest day between each game must not be fewer than 6 days regardless of competition", then a whole season must be rather long.
I wonder scientifically what is the best length for a season of football league? What is the best amount of rest day between each game for the players to be fully refreshed? Heard players complaining for ages about match congestion.
Not necessarily true for individual clubs. More games means more attendance revenue. However it also means tv money is split between more teams.
In the case of France, an 18 club league brings in less revenue than a 20 club league, however each individual club makes more in an 18 club league (as two less attractive clubs don’t take a piece of the tv money).
It’s also better for clubs who play play in Europe to have 4 less domestic league games and focus on more lucrative European ones.
