Ligue 1 in 2026/27: Ligue 1+, beIN SPORTS and Beyond
Ligue 1 has 18 clubs and 34 rounds, running from August to May. Paris Saint-Germain draw most of the attention abroad, while Marseille, Lyon and Monaco keep big followings of their own, and French top-flight football has a huge audience across French-speaking Africa.
Ligue 1+, the league's own streaming service, sits at the center of the 2026/27 coverage. In France it shows most matches, with beIN Sports keeping one game per round, and it also streams the league in the UK, Ireland and Italy. Across the Atlantic, beIN SPORTS is the channel for Ligue 1 in both the United States and Canada.
Canal+ Afrique and SuperSport each carry the league in nearly 50 African countries, with DStv Stream for anyone without a dish. From Morocco to Saudi Arabia the rights belong to beIN Sports and its streaming app TOD. India has JioHotstar, which streams at least four matches a round, and Brazilians can watch free on CazéTV's YouTube channel.
Late kick-offs in France, usually around 9 p.m., fall at 3 p.m. in New York and 8 p.m. in Dakar and Abidjan during the winter months. The player above shows bookmakers in your country that stream football once you place a bet, so you can watch Ligue 1 without limits, and NordVPN keeps a French or African home subscription usable on trips.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ligue 1+ and where can I use it?
Ligue 1+ is the streaming service run by the league itself. In France it carries most Ligue 1 matches each round, and beyond France it is available to fans in Italy, Ireland and the UK. Because it is an app rather than a TV channel, you do not need a pay-TV package to follow your club.
Which channel shows Ligue 1 in the USA and Canada?
beIN SPORTS holds Ligue 1 in both countries for 2026/27. It is a pay channel, so confirm that your TV or streaming bundle carries it before the big nights of the season, such as PSG against Marseille.
How can I watch every Ligue 1 match in France?
Following every Ligue 1 game in France takes two subscriptions. Ligue 1+ shows most games in each round, and beIN Sports has the remaining match. Supporters who only follow one club can often manage with Ligue 1+ alone, as long as their team is not the beIN Sports pick that week.
Can I watch Ligue 1 for free?
Only in a couple of places. CazéTV streams matches free on YouTube in Brazil, and TVM shows the league on free TV in Malta. Everywhere else Ligue 1 sits behind a subscription, and free pirate sites are unreliable, with streams that freeze or disappear when they get blocked.
Where do fans in Africa watch Ligue 1?
Canal+ Afrique is the main home of Ligue 1 across French-speaking Africa, from Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire to Cameroon. SuperSport also covers the league in close to 50 countries, and DStv Stream brings the same coverage to phones from Lagos to Dar es Salaam.
Is Ligue 1 on TV in India?
Yes. JioHotstar streams at least four Ligue 1 matches every round in India, and Star Sports shows selected games on TV. Late kick-offs in France fall after midnight in India, so the earlier weekend fixtures are the easiest ones to watch live.
What time does Ligue 1 kick off for viewers abroad?
Prime-time games in France start around 9 p.m., which is mid-afternoon on the US East Coast and lunchtime in California. Afternoon matches suit the Middle East and Asia better, with a 3 p.m. game in France landing at 5 p.m. in Riyadh and 9 p.m. in Bangkok during the winter.
Which service streams Ligue 1 in the Middle East and Turkey?
beIN Sports has Ligue 1 throughout the Arab world, and TOD, its streaming app, carries the same matches for viewers in Cairo, Casablanca, Riyadh or Dubai. Turkish viewers also find the league on beIN Sports.
Where can I stream Ligue 1 in the rest of Europe?
DAZN streams Ligue 1 in Germany and Spain, Viaplay has it in the Netherlands, and Sport TV covers Portugal. Polish fans watch on Eleven. In the UK, both Ligue 1+ and Prime Video appear in our listings for 2026/27, while Ligue 1+ is the option in Italy and Ireland.
