From the summer of 2026, Netflix subscribers in France will be able to watch TF1 channels on the streaming platform.
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. The streamer touted the ability to watch shows broadcast on TF1 such as “Broceliande” and “The Voice” “without ever having to leave the service.”
Financial details weren’t revealed, but the TF1 deal could prove a litmus test ahead of similar arrangements globally as Netflix strengthens its power over traditional broadcasters and looks to become a one-stop-shop for TV audiences.
“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.”
The deal was announced in France at the Cannes Lions advertising conference, with Peters flying in especially.
“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.”
TF1 and Netflix have previously collaborated on co-productions including “Les Combattantes,” “L’Agence” and “Tout le bleu du ciel.”
