The NFL attracts an ever-widening audience around the world, including in France. But with the diversity of options available for following matches, it can be difficult to navigate. Here are the different alternatives for watching the NFL in France and how to choose the one that best suits your needs, whether you’re a long-time fan or a curious newbie.
M6+: ideal for beginners.
The main advantage of M6+ is that this offer is free! You will be able to watch regular season matches: every Sunday at 7 p.m., a match is broadcast on M6+ and during the playoffs, there is one match per week on W9. The Super Bowl is available on M6, and you have access to little extras: international matches with on-site commentary, the Hard Knocks series, match summaries and the most spectacular images on M6+. On the other hand, the disadvantage is that you cannot choose which match to watch in the regular season, the offer only broadcasts one of the Sunday matches, at the choice of the channel.
beIN Sports: ideal for those who know a little about it and want to discover more.
The reason why beIN Sports is interesting is that its NFL catalog is very complete. The offer includes Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football and Sunday Night Football. Without forgetting every Sunday at 10:25 p.m., an additional poster with live commentary in full. But also the Multiplex Red Zone on Sunday, from 7 p.m., the entire playoffs, the Pro Bowl Games, the Hard Knocks series and of course the Super Bowl. The main obstacle for some will be the price: €15/month, but at least you have access to almost everything!
DAZN: ideal for enthusiasts and experts.
The main strength of DAZN is that of having all the matches, the draft, the scout and even some very specific content for die-hard fans. With DAZN, you have access to the NFL Gamepass including all regular season and playoff games live and on demand as well as the Super Bowl. You also have the opportunity to watch NFL Network and RedZone, the NFL Scouting Combine, the entire Draft live. DAZN is therefore an ideal option for true NFL enthusiasts, who want to know everything and are surely among those who follow the sports betting offers on American football. DAZN even goes so far as to provide you with archives of old matches as well as original content on the NFL (Hard Knocks, A football life, etc.). Be careful though, it’s €210 for the season and it’s in English only.
Netflix: and bonus
It’s the new thing of the year. Two NFL matches will be available on Netflix. These will be the Christmas matches, therefore on December 25, at rather favorable times for France: Steelers – Chiefs at 7 p.m. and Texans – Ravens at 10:30 p.m.
Following the NFL in France is now entirely possible, you just need to choose the offer best suited to your needs.
