Netflix to Stream Live TV for the First Time — A Game-Changing Move in France

From the summer of 2026, Netflix subscribers in France will be able to watch TF1 channels on the streaming platform.

Users can now enjoy live shows like The Voice and Broceliande without leaving Netflix — marking a historic first for the streaming giant.

The landmark deal — described as a “new kind of partnership” by Netflix — will see TF1 Group’s live channels and on-demand content available to Netflix members in France as part of their existing subscription.

Why It Matters:

  • A bold response to audience fragmentation
  • On-demand + live TV = next-gen platform experience
  • A new revenue and engagement model for global media

The streamer touted the ability to watch shows broadcast on TF1 such as “Broceliande” and “The Voice” “without ever having to leave the service.”

As of the summer of 2026, Netflix users in France will have the option to watch live TV channels, including many productions from sports competitions to series, without ever leaving the platform and without paying any additional fee. The company emphasized that this is also a first in its history.

“This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience,” said Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix. “By teaming up with France’s leading broadcaster we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment.”

“I am delighted about this new partnership with Netflix, with whom we have already established strong relationships through ambitious co-productions in recent months,” said Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of TF1 Group. As viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ platform.”

Netflix will start showing many channels under the TF1 Group on its platform. All of the free television channels and paid content of TF1 Group, one of the largest media chains in France, will be on the platform.
