France\u2019s largest commercial broadcaster will show all five of its linear channels on Netflix, as well as more than 30,000 hours of TV shows available on demand.<\/p>\n<p>The deal opens the door to more deals between Netflix and traditional TV groups, which are struggling with declining audiences and advertising revenues as more people watch TV online or over streaming services.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Peters, co-chief executive of Netflix, told the Financial Times some French audiences now thought of \u201cTV as Netflix, and so this is an opportunity for us to work with the largest broadcaster in the French media ecosystem [and] producer of great, premium content\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\"  width=\"2289\" height=\"1526\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 490px)\"  width=\"1527\" height=\"1527\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption o3-editorial-typography-caption\"><span>Greg Peters, co-chief executive officer of Netflix, said that given this was the first time the group had done such a deal, it would see how the partnership worked before exploring further tie-ups with other broadcasters<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Chris Ratcliffe\/Bloomberg<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Peters said the deal would bring different sorts of TV shows to Netflix, such as soap operas, as well as live sports. TF1 shows the French national football team\u2019s matches as well as other sports, including basketball. <\/p>\n<p>Netflix\u2019s co-chief declined to say whether or how subscription and advertising revenues would be shared between the two companies, or whether Netflix had paid an upfront fee for TF1 content.<\/p>\n<p>TF1 Group reaches 58mn monthly viewers through its broadcast channels and serves 35mn users on its TF1+ streaming service. In 2022, Netflix co-chief Ted Sarandos said the streaming platform had surpassed 10mn subscribers in France. <\/p>\n<p>The deal, which will commence in summer 2026, will open up commercial opportunities for TF1, which is reliant on advertising income rather than subscription fees, even for its streaming service.<\/p>\n<p>TF1 Group chief executive Rodolphe Belmer said \u201cas viewing habits shift towards on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers\u201d. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\"  width=\"2290\" height=\"1527\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 490px)\"  width=\"1527\" height=\"1527\"><\/source><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/infundpros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/https:\/\/d1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net\/production\/c120e651-6955-45cf-a285-e3d6a0875ffa.jpg\" alt=\"Kylian Mbappe of France celebrates with teammates after scoring his team\u2019s first goal\" data-image-type=\"image\" width=\"2290\" height=\"1527\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption o3-editorial-typography-caption\"><span>TF1\u2019s content includes live sports, such as French football <\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Kevin Voigt\/GettyImages<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Those close to the deal said TF1 was highly influential in the European broadcasting industry, which is expected to watch how the partnership works closely.<\/p>\n<p>Other traditional broadcasters have either sought to try to rival Netflix with their own subscription services \u2014 albeit without the same global scale \u2014 or distribute their content over YouTube or social media sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Peters said that given this was the first time Netflix had done such a deal, the group would first see how the partnership worked before exploring further tie-ups with other broadcasters.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix has in the past licensed content from broadcasters such as TF1, but many such groups have been reluctant to share their biggest shows.<\/p>\n<p>Belmer said he did not expect the move to cannibalise TF1\u2019s existing audience, describing it as \u201chighly positive for us\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLinear TV is [in] secular decline.
