Free Launches Free TV With 170+ Free Channels, €0.99 Premium Plan

Free frames the launch as a direct challenge to Molotov and Canal+.

Overview

  • Free TV is available to everyone, whether they subscribe to Free or not, via connected TV apps, smartphones, tablets, and the web at tv.free.fr.
  • The free tier excludes TF1 and M6, while the paid option—€0.99 per month for one year then €5.99—expands access to 300+ channels including all 25 TNT and pay networks such as RTL9, Disney Channel, National Geographic, CNN International, and Mangas.
  • The paid tier is included for Freebox internet customers with TV service and for Free 5G and Série Free mobile subscribers, who also get program recording.
  • The platform replaces the OQEE app and offers live control, a start-over function, extensive replay, and access to the Free Ciné catalog of films and series.
  • Free contrasts its lineup with rivals, noting Molotov offers about 50 free channels and Canal+ TV+ provides 80+ for €2 per month, as Xavier Niel publicly praised the free offer.
