Overview
- TF1 aired the live launch on October 10, introducing 17 contestants aged 18–26 and confirming a prize of €100,000 plus recording and publishing contracts with Sony Music.
- Médiamétrie measured 3.5 million viewers (21.5% share) for the first part and 2.52 million viewers (24.3% share) for the second part of the evening.
- The show posted exceptional results among the key advertising group FRDA-50, registering audience shares of about 47% in both parts of the broadcast.
- The premiere returned TF1 to the top of Saturday-night ratings and outperformed the prior season's launch and last week's The Voice Kids in the same time slot.
- Despite the strong start, the format has lost about one million average viewers since 2022, so sustained recovery will depend on audience retention in coming weeks and advertiser response.
