It comes as streaming overtakes traditional TV for the first time in terms of viewership numbers. The milestone marks a steady shift towards internet-based telly, which has seen a near-doubling of streaming viewership since 2021 when it made up 26 per cent of TV use.

Netflix claims to have "over" 300million subscribers. The deal would also allow Netflix to grow its audience in France. As of 2022, Netflix had 10million French subscribers, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said at the time. While TF1 Group's broadcast channels have 58million viewers per month, according to the FT. Its streaming service, TF1+, also reportedly boasts 35million users per month. Use Netflix on a computer or laptop? Try these useful shortcuts Here are some handy keyboard shortcuts...

Netflix will air traditional TV channels inside its app in France
Starting in summer 2026, Netflix subscribers in France will be able to watch commercially broadcast TV content 'without ever having to leave the service.' The streaming giant has announced a distribution deal with French media company TF1 Group to make TF1's free-to-air live TV channels and on-demand TF1 Plus streaming content available to French Netflix users as part of their existing subscription plan. 'This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience,' Netflix CEO Greg Peters said 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.' The carriage deal will enable French Netflix subscribers to watch major live sports matches, scripted dramas like Broceliande and Erica, soap operas such as Demain nous appartient, and unscripted shows like The Voice. Financial details were not disclosed, but for Netflix, this deal may also contribute towards a legal requirement to invest a portion of its French revenue into French-language content. Netflix started experimenting with a linear-style TV feature in France in 2020 called 'Direct' that broadcast a programmed schedule of shows, but the TF1 partnership is the first deal to host channels from a third-party network. The partnership could be compared to Netflix being granted the output for CBS in the US, or ITV in the UK. It's significant because the TF1 network holds around 24 percent of the French linear TV market — higher than the domestic US market share for NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox. As more consumers switch from traditional TV to streaming on-demand content, the Netflix TF1 partnership could pave the way for similar deals to help struggling networks bolster their audiences by piggybacking off the very streaming services that viewers are jumping to. In the announcement, TF1 Group CEO Rodolphe Belmer said, '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 Plus platform.'

Netflix signs first broadcaster deal with TF1, bringing French live TV and sports to subscribers in 2026
PARIS, June 18 — Netflix announced Wednesday a livestreaming and on-demand content agreement with French television group TF1, its first such deal with a major traditional broadcaster anywhere in the world. The service will launch in summer 2026, Netflix's co-chief-executive Greg Peters told AFP, while declining to name any of the financial or other details of the tie-up with TF1. Netflix subscribers in France will get access to TF1's five TV channels and content from the group's own TF1+ streaming platform –all 'without ever having to leave the Netflix environment' on their smart TV or other device, the US company said in a statement. On offer will be sporting events, soap operas and reality shows such as the 'Survivor'-style 'Koh-Lanta'. TF1 and Netflix have for years collaborated on productions like 2019's historical drama 'Le Bazar de la Charite' ('The Bonfire of Destiny'). But France's top private broadcaster – one of Europe's largest – has big ambitions for TF1+ to stand on its own two feet, making the more intimate tie-up with Netflix a surprise. The TF1 streaming platform aims to become the most popular free offering in France and the wider French-speaking world. 'TF1+ is and will remain at the centre of our strategy,' TF1 chief executive Rodolphe Belmer told AFP ahead of the announcement. Belmer insisted that the deal did not risk 'cannibalisation' of TF1+ and was 'truly complementary' in a media landscape of fragmenting audiences and growing on-demand viewing. He added that the TF1 group had done 'lots of analysis' and expected a 'significantly net positive' business effect. On Netflix's side, 'TF1 is very good with sports, with live areas that we don't operate in a large way right now', said Peters, who also praised the quality of the group's scripted programming. Netflix said in 2022 that it had topped 10 million subscribing households in France and has reported growth since then without naming concrete figures. — AFP
