Can you watch French-language channels on IPTV?
How does French-language TV work in Canada?
French-language TV in Canada is a market of its own, centred in Quebec, with its own networks, stars, news and sports coverage. Many of the most-watched shows in Quebec are made in Quebec: téléromans, variety shows, game shows and talk shows that never air in English.
Francophone homes outside Quebec, in New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba and elsewhere, mostly watch the same French networks, with some regional news of their own. Sports work differently too. French-language broadcast rights are often sold separately from English ones, so a French game broadcast can be on a different channel, with its own commentators.
TV from France is another thing again. The shows, the news and the accent are different, so a Quebec family rarely finds what it wants on a list that only carries channels from France.
Which French channels does IPTV Nord include?
IPTV Nord has 10 groups in French or in both languages, including movies and series on demand. We describe them by category:
| Channel group | Language |
|---|---|
| Canadian sports in French | French |
| French-language news and variety | French |
| Local channels: Ottawa and Gatineau | English and French |
| Local channels: Montreal and Quebec City | French and English |
| Local channels: Atlantic Canada | English and French |
| Kids and family | English and French |
| Movies on demand | English and French |
| Series on demand | English and French |
| 4K Ultra HD channels | English and French |
| Documentaries, music and lifestyle | English and French |
Channels from France sit in the European international group, and the Caribbean group also has channels in French. To get all the French groups, choose Full Channels when you order. English Channels Only leaves them out. Both packages cost the same, and we can switch your line later if you change your mind. Our pages for IPTV in Montreal and IPTV in Quebec City show how French-speaking homes set it up.
Can you watch French Canadian channels on a TV box?
Yes. An Android TV box, a Google TV device or a Fire TV Stick with an IPTV app plays French channels the same way it plays English ones. You install the app, sign in, and the French groups appear in the channel list and the TV guide.
Two tips make it easier for French-speaking homes:
- Build a French favourites list. Save the French news and sports channels you watch most as favourites, so they sit together in one group. In TiviMate, favourites come with the paid Premium upgrade.
- Use a second device for bilingual homes. On a plan with two devices, one TV can stay on French news while another plays an English series.
Our Android TV box guide walks through the setup. If you get stuck, our team helps in French in Live Chat, 7 days a week, 9 a.m. to midnight (Eastern Time). Before you pay, check your French channels with the free 24-hour trial.
