Watch M6+ from anywhere with Norton VPN (try risk-free) French football fans are justifiably confident that Les Bleus can go all the way and win the 2026 World Cup . Sitting at the top of the FIFA World Rankings and having made the last two finals (winning one and losing an excruciating penalty shoot-out in the other), Didier Deschamps' men know how to get things done... and that's before you even get to the Kylian Mbapp factor.

The country's all-time top scorer at the age of just 27, Mbapp has been terrorizing international defences for nearly a decade and at the time of writing co-leads a fascinating Golden Boot race alongside Lionel Messi with six goals so far at the 2026 tournament. But this awesome France side is
about much more than one man. Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembl, Adrien Rabiot and Aurlien Tchouamni have all been superb in a team that is somehow even greater than the sum of its parts, while Mike Maignan has conceded only twice between the sticks. They're a truly delightful team to watch and thankfully you can do exactly that, and largely for free.

Over half the games at this year's World Cup are 100% free to watch on TV
and online in France. So read on as we explain how to watch World Cup 2026 in France absolutely free. Can I stream World Cup 2026 for free in France?

Yes, but not every match. 54 of the 104 games at the 2026 World Cup will be streamed live and for free in France.

That's thanks to the free-to-air M6 TV station, which is showing 47 of those matches between the times of 6-11pm CET, and means matches will also be available to stream live online through the M6+ streaming platform.

All you need to stream free on M6+ is a free account that requires a few
basic personal details, including name, date of birth and a French postal
code (e.g. 93200).
