Netflix and TF1 announced a new carriage deal, which will see Netflix offer live broadcasts and on-demand content from the French commercial broadcaster on Netflix in France. The deal, which kicks off in Summer 2026, will include TF1’s French free-to-air channels as well as its TF1+ streaming offerings.
The deal marks a major development in Netflix’s strategy in France. Alongside high-end French dramas like Broceliande and Erica, TF1’s offerings include daily soaps (Demain nous appartient, Ici tout commence), reality-TV programming, shiny floor shows such as The Voice and live sports coverage. Adding that programming to its in-house offerings marks a further evolution for the streamer, which is moving to broaden its audience appeal as its penetration in France nears saturation levels, and matches, or tops, that of free-to-air national broadcasters.
