French Channels on TVPikoma, Country by Country
French-language TV comes from several countries with very different schedules and tastes. The list keeps them apart, so a family in Montreal and a family in Lyon each find their own channels quickly.

Check the list for current channels
Line-ups change as broadcasters renegotiate rights. If one channel decides whether you subscribe, search the full TVPikoma channel list or ask on WhatsApp before you pay. That matters most for regional editions from France and for national channels from individual African countries.
Ligue 1 and French Football on IPTV
Ligue 1 runs from August to May. In recent seasons its broadcast rights in France have changed hands more than once, so the channel carrying a match can differ from one year to the next. beIN Sports FR, Canal+ and RMC Sport are all in the current list, but which of them shows league matches depends on the season.
The official Ligue 1 website publishes fixtures and broadcast details for France. For every league in the TVPikoma line-up, the sports guide shows where competitions sit right now.
Beyond Ligue 1
French-speaking fans follow far more than one league. The pay channels in the list carry a changing mix of European competitions, rugby, tennis and cycling, depending on current rights. In Canada, RDS covers hockey in French. Canal+ Afrique follows football that matters to African audiences.
Match times from Paris
A 9 p.m. match in Paris starts at 3 p.m. in Montreal and at noon in Vancouver. In Dakar and Abidjan it starts at 7 p.m. during French summer time and 8 p.m. in winter. French expats in Dubai watch at 11 p.m. or midnight.
Where a match is produced in 4K, it sits next to the HD version. Our 4K IPTV page explains the screen and speed required.

French IPTV for Bilingual Canadian Households
Canada has millions of French speakers, and plenty of homes switch languages between rooms. TVPikoma puts the Quebec channels and the English Canadian networks in the same line-up, so nobody has to compromise.
News in both languages: Radio-Canada and TVA next to CBC and CTV.
Hockey your way: RDS in French, or TSN and Sportsnet in English.
French for children: TFO offers French-language educational programming, a good fit for kids in French immersion outside Quebec.
Snowbirds: Quebecers who spend the winter in Florida or Arizona keep TVA and Radio-Canada on their own TV.
A 2-device plan at $119 a year lets one room watch TVA while another watches CBC. Our worldwide IPTV guide explains how the country groups sit side by side.
Francophone Africa and the Diaspora in Europe
Families from Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and many other countries live in Paris, Brussels, Montreal and beyond. Canal+ Afrique is the main French-language African channel in the TVPikoma list, with series, films and football made for African audiences.
National channels from individual African countries are not a fixed part of the list, so search for yours before ordering. The Africa group also carries Africa Magic and Nollywood channels in English, which many West African households watch alongside French TV.
Haitian families in Montreal, Miami or New York can combine French and Quebec channels with the US and Canadian networks. Haitian national channels are not a fixed part of the list, so ask on WhatsApp before ordering if one matters to you.
North African homes that switch between French and Arabic
Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian channels sit in the Arabic group, and some of them broadcast partly in French. Families from the Maghreb can keep France 2 and a national channel from home on the same login. The Arabic IPTV page lists those channels in detail.
Watching French News Abroad at the Right Hour
The 8 p.m. news on TF1 and France 2 is a fixed point in many French homes. Abroad, that bulletin lands at very different local times.
Montreal and New York: 2 p.m.
Vancouver and Los Angeles: 11 a.m.
London: 7 p.m.
Dakar: 6 p.m. in French summer time, 7 p.m. in winter.
Réunion: 10 p.m. in French summer time, 11 p.m. in winter.
Channels broadcast on their home time, and your player converts the guide using your device clock. Set the correct time zone on the TV or box first. Then compare a live bulletin with the EPG, and adjust the offset only if it is still off.
On supported channels, catch-up lets you watch the news later in your own evening. Our explainer on how IPTV works covers catch-up and the TV guide.
French IPTV Setup on Smart TVs, Boxes and Phones
French IPTV runs on the same devices as every other part of TVPikoma. Pick the one already in your living room.
MAG or Formuler box: good for a simple remote-only menu, see the set-top box guide.
Once installed, pin TF1, TVA or Canal+ Afrique to your favourites and hide the groups you never open. For help choosing a player, read our guide to IPTV apps.
French IPTV Subscription Costs

Test on a live evening first
Use the free trial at the hour you normally watch. Open the 8 p.m. news on France 2, switch to TVA or Canal+ Afrique, and check that the guide shows the right local times. Evenings are when networks are busiest, so a smooth test then is the one that counts. If it works, choose the plan length that suits you.
Yes. TVA, Radio-Canada and Noovo are in the Canada group of the current channel list, together with RDS for sport and TFO for French-language education. English Canadian networks such as CBC and CTV sit in the same group. Line-ups change over time, so check the channel list for anything specific.
Can I follow Ligue 1 with a French IPTV plan?
Usually, yes, but the channel depends on the season. Ligue 1 rights in France have changed hands several times recently. beIN Sports FR, Canal+ and RMC Sport are in the list, and international rights holders appear in the sports groups. Check the sports page and test a live match on the free trial.
Is French IPTV a good fit for a bilingual family in Canada?
Yes. One plan carries Radio-Canada, TVA and RDS next to CBC, CTV, TSN and Sportsnet, so each person watches in their preferred language. A 2 or 3 device plan lets French and English programmes play in different rooms at the same time, and TFO adds French learning content for children.
Which channels serve francophone Africa?
Canal+ Afrique is the main French-language African channel in the current list, with series, films and football. National channels from individual African countries vary, so search the channel list for yours. The Africa group also includes Africa Magic and Nollywood channels in English, and North African channels sit in the Arabic group.
Can I watch the 8 p.m. news from France at my local time?
Yes, it plays live at the matching local hour, which is 2 p.m. in Montreal and 7 p.m. in London. Set your device time zone so the guide shows the right time. On channels with catch-up, you can also replay the bulletin later in your own evening.
Are Belgian and Swiss French-language channels in the list?
Belgium and Switzerland appear as smaller country packages in the Europe group. Their exact channels change more often than the main French networks. Search the channel list for the channel you want, or ask support on WhatsApp before ordering, so you know what each package holds today.
