Ligue 1 and Champions League on IPTV

Ligue 1 is the marquee football competition in France. Broadcast rights for 2026 are held primarily by DAZN and beIN Sports. The beIN Sports channels in the WebflowMT package cover a significant portion of Ligue 1 matchdays.

Canal+ also holds some Ligue 1 rights and is the traditional home of French football premium coverage. Canal+ Sport and Canal+ are both included.

For the Champions League, Canal+ and beIN Sports share French broadcast rights. A mid-week Champions League night in France typically has matches on both beIN Sports and Canal+, with the biggest match of the evening on Canal+. Both channels are in the package.

Europa League and Conference League rights are split similarly. For fans of PSG, Marseille, Lyon, Monaco, or any of the Ligue 1 clubs in European competition, the coverage is comprehensive.

French national team (Les Bleus) matches: Qualifiers and friendlies air on TF1 and M6. Both are in the package, and both carry the major tournaments including the World Cup and European Championship qualifiers.

Rugby: Top 14 and the Six Nations

Rugby Union is a major sport in France, particularly in the south. The Top 14 (the French club league) is carried on Canal+ Sport and France TV. The Six Nations is on France TV and TF1 for the France matches. Eurosport carries some Six Nations and European club rugby.

Canal+ Sport, France 2, France 3, TF1, and Eurosport are all included, giving good coverage of both the domestic and international rugby calendar.

French viewers in Belgium, Switzerland, and Luxembourg

French is the official or co-official language in several countries beyond France. WebflowMT covers all of them in one package.

Belgium: Wallonia and Brussels have RTBF, La Une, La Deux, and La Trois as public French-language broadcasters. RTL Belgium and Club RTL are commercial alternatives. All are in the package alongside the French national channels.

Switzerland: RTS 1 and RTS 2 (the Romandy public broadcaster) are included. Swiss French viewers get both their domestic channels and the full French national lineup.

Luxembourg: RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg is included. Luxembourg viewers get this alongside the French, Belgian French, and German channels, reflecting the multilingual nature of the country.

French expats anywhere in the world: IPTV works over any internet connection. Whether you are a French expat in Malta (WebflowMT's home market), London, New York, or Dubai, the French channel package is accessible.

Replacing Canal+ with IPTV

Canal+ is the default premium TV choice for French households wanting sports and cinema. A Canal+ subscription with sports options costs €30-€45 per month depending on the bundle. Adding beIN Sports and RMC Sport pushes the total higher.

WebflowMT at €5/month includes Canal+, beIN Sports, RMC Sport, and the rest of the French lineup in one package. Over 12 months that is a saving of €300-€480 compared to Canal+.

The catch is the setup. Canal+ has the Canal Box, which is a well-designed set-top box with a French-language interface, cloud DVR, and deep integration with French content services. IPTV replaces the content but not the hardware experience.

Most French IPTV users go with TiviMate on an Android TV device. The French EPG data (program guide) is available in TiviMate, so you get a proper TV schedule view in French for all the channels. The interface is remote-friendly and straightforward.

Device setup for French viewers

WebflowMT provides both Xtream Codes credentials and M3U playlist URLs. Xtream Codes works with TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, and GSE Smart IPTV (popular in France). M3U works with VLC, Kodi, and almost any media player.

For MAG box users (common in France and Belgium): WebflowMT supports MAG portal format. Enter the portal URL in your MAG box settings. The box downloads the channel list automatically.

For Smart TV users: Samsung TVs support Smart IPTV app. LG TVs support SS IPTV. Both accept M3U playlists. The device setup page has step-by-step instructions.
