Netflix signed a distribution partnership with French media company TF1 Group, making both live channels and on-demand content available to Netflix subscribers in France as part of their existing subscription without requiring them to leave the platform.
Starting in the summer of 2026, French Netflix subscribers will gain access to popular programming including Brocéliande, Erica, Demain Nous Appartient, Ici Tout Commence, Koh-Lanta, and The Voice, as well as major live sports matches.
“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, in a statement. “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,” added 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.”
TF1’s linear channels reach around 58 million monthly viewers, and it has 35 million subscribers on its TF1+ streaming service.
This agreement builds on an existing partnership between the two companies. Netflix and TF1 have previously collaborated on creative projects, co-producing titles available on the streamer including Les Combattantes, L’Agence, and Tout le Bleu du Ciel.
