Netflix and France's TF1 join forces as traditional TV struggles
Streaming giant Netflix and major French broadcaster TF1 have signed a deal to merge some of their services at a time when demand for traditional TV is slowing. Starting in Summer 2026, all Netflix members in France will be able to watch TF1 channels and on-demand content from TF1+ directly on Netflix. That includes dramas like Broceliande and soaps such as Demain nous appartient, as well as major live sports matches. These will soon be available alongside Netflix's own French-language offerings and its international series and films. '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 press release. Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of TF1 Group, added: "I am delighted about this new partnership with Netflix, with whom we have already established strong relationships through ambitious co-productions in recent months." TF1 and Netflix have already worked together on projects such as L'Agence and Tout le bleu du ciel. Related AI isn't a threat, says former Netflix HR chief Patty McCord Paddington producer hoping for tasty result with listing on LSE Belmer continued: "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." It's not yet clear whether Netflix paid an initial fee for the content, and the firms didn't disclose how they will manage subscription and advertising revenues. TF1 is a free-to-air channel in France, meaning it relies on advertising income, even for its streaming services. The TV network currently reaches 58 million monthly viewers through its broadcast channels and serves 35 million users on its TF1+ streaming service. Through Studio TF1, the company also manages over 50 production companies and labels across France and international markets.

Netflix and French television group TF1 strike world-first streaming deal
Netflix announced on Wednesday, June 18, 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 Agence France-Presse 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 Charité (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 center of our strategy," TF1 chief executive Rodolphe Belmer told AFP ahead of the announcement. Belmer insisted that the deal did not risk "cannibalization" 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 surpassed 10 million subscribing households in France and has reported growth since then without naming concrete figures.
