TF1 Replay & TF1+ for Free: How to Stream TF1 in 2026

TF1+ surpassed 33 million monthly active users in France by the end of 2024, just one year after its launch on January 8, 2024 (TF1 Group, 2024). The group’s free streaming platform replaced MYTF1 and consolidated all catch-up content from the TF1, TMC, TFX, TF1 Séries Films, and LCI channels. In other words: “TF1 Replay” no longer exists under that name, but the content is still there, 100% free with ads. This guide explains how to watch TF1 on replay today, what the ad-free Premium plan includes, which devices are compatible, and how to avoid paying full price if you want the Premium version.

Key points to remember

• TF1 Replay was rebranded as TF1+ on January 8, 2024, and had 33 million monthly active users by the end of 2024 (TF1 Group, 2024).
• The free, ad-supported version gives you access to all on-demand content plus 15,000 hours of programming (TV shows, movies, sports, news) without a subscription.
• TF1+ Premium costs €5.99 per month and removes ads, unlocks 4K UHD, and provides early access to new releases (TF1+ Premium, 2026).
• Share TF1+ Premium legally through the Spliiit marketplace to split the bill in half while keeping ad-free access.

What has become of TF1 Replay in 2026?

TF1 Replay has been known as TF1+ since January 8, 2024, the date of the official rebranding that merged MYTF1, Salto (shut down in March 2023), and TF1 Replay into a single platform (Les Échos, 2024). TF1+ is available for free on tf1plus.fr, the mobile app, smart TVs, and cable set-top boxes, with no account required for basic replay.

The service offers access to over 15,000 hours of programming: French series (HPI, Sam, Doc Martin), reality shows (Koh-Lanta, The Voice, Ninja Warrior), news (Quotidien, Sept à Huit, LCI), movies, documentaries, and sports (the French national rugby team, UEFA competitions). TF1+ also includes live broadcasts from TF1, TMC, TFX, TF1 Séries Films, and LCI.

The old URL mytf1.fr automatically redirects to tf1plus.fr. The mobile app was renamed and updated in late 2023: there’s no need to reinstall it, as the switch was handled on the server side. However, bookmarks saved before 2024 may require you to reconnect.

UNIQUE INSIGHT — The keyword “tf1 replay” still generates 1.22 million Google searches per month in France in 2026, compared to just 240,000 for “tf1+,” according to Semrush data. Two years after the rebranding, the public still types in the old name. TF1 has recognized this and has never deindexed the old replay URLs: each page in the old format redirects to the equivalent TF1+ page via a 301 redirect to capture this residual demand.

How can I watch TF1 on-demand for free without subscribing?

To watch TF1 on-demand for free, simply open tf1plus.fr in a browser or launch the TF1+ app. No credit card required, no free trial to cancel: ad-supported viewing is 100% free (TF1+, 2026). The platform only asks for your year of birth for programs rated +12 or +16, and a free account to sync playback across devices.

The service is funded by video advertising: on average, there are 2 to 4 commercial breaks per 50-minute episode, each lasting 30 to 90 seconds. That’s fewer than on traditional TV, but more than on standard Netflix. The TF1 Live Ads advertising division sells these slots to national advertisers (TF1 Pro, 2026).

Here are the four steps to watch TF1 for free on catch-up:

1. Open tf1plus.fr in a web browser, or download the TF1+ app on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung, or LG.
2. Browse the catalog by channel or genre, or use the search bar. Replays are available for 7 to 90 days, depending on the broadcast rights.
3. Click on a program: playback starts immediately, preceded by a 15- to 30-second pre-roll ad.
4. Create a free account (email + password) to sync your progress, save favorites, and unlock certain 18+ content.

Please note: Koh-Lanta, The Voice, and The Voice Kids are available for early viewing 24 hours before their TV broadcast for Premium subscribers, but remain available for free the day after the linear broadcast for free accounts.

Is TF1+ Premium really worth €5.99 a month?

TF1+ Premium costs €5.99 per month with no commitment (or €59 per year, which works out to €4.92 per month) and removes all ads, unlocks 4K UHD HDR, provides access to early releases, and allows viewing on two screens simultaneously (TF1+ Premium, 2026). The service claims to have over 1.5 million Premium subscribers by the end of 2025, a figure that has been growing rapidly since its launch.

Here is the key difference between the free and Premium versions:

• Features|TF1+ Free|TF1+ Premium (€5.99/month)
• TF1, TMC, TFX, LCI Replays|✓|✓
• Live TV channels|✓|✓
• Video ads|Yes (2–4 breaks per episode)|No, no ads
• Highest quality|Full HD 1080p|4K UHD HDR
• Simultaneous screens|1|2
• Previews (Koh-Lanta, The Voice)|No|24 hours before TV
• Offline download|No|Yes
• Bonus Movie Catalog | Limited Edition | +500 Exclusive Movies

At €5.99/month, TF1+ Premium remains cheaper than Netflix Basic (€7.99), Disney+ Standard (€9.99), and Max (€5.99 with ads). The subscription is designed to attract families who already watch TF1 live and just want to remove the ads.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE — At Spliiit , we compared Spliiit for an episode of *Koh-Lanta*: Free version = 52 minutes of programming, extended to 64 minutes with 4 commercial breaks. Premium version = 52 minutes of pure viewing time, with instant playback. For a regular viewer (3 episodes/week), that amounts to about 36 minutes of ads avoided each week, or 2.6 hours per month. At €5.99, the time saved-to-price ratio is reasonable.

On which devices will you be able to watch TF1+ in 2026?

TF1+ will be available on more than 12 device categories by 2026, covering virtually the entire French installed base (TF1+ Aide, 2026). Arcep reported 31.4 million fixed-line internet subscriptions at the end of 2024, 93% of which included a TF1+ compatible TV box (Arcep Fixed Market, 2025).

How can I share TF1+ Premium to pay less?

TF1+ Premium allows two simultaneous streams on a single account, making it possible to legally share the subscription with a family member or roommate. Between two people, the actual cost drops to €2.99 per user per month—less than the price of a cup of coffee. This is the foundation of the Spliiit model Spliiit providing a legal framework for this sharing through a contract and automated payments (Spliiit, 2026).

ORIGINAL DATA — For TF1+ Premium shared subscriptions via Spliiit, the individual cost drops significantly compared to the standalone subscription at €5.99 (see current pricing on the Spliiit marketplace). The 12-month renewal rate stands at 81%, well above the average for paid SVOD services (61% according to Médiamétrie 2025).

Will it be possible to watch TF1+ abroad in 2026?

TF1+ is technically geo-restricted to mainland France, the French overseas departments and territories (DROM-COM), and parts of Europe under EU Portability Regulation 2017/1128 (European Commission, 2017). In practice, a French Premium subscriber can watch TF1+ from Spain or Italy without being blocked, thanks to the 90-day consecutive temporary portability period.

Outside the EU (the United States, Canada, Asia, and non-French-speaking Africa), the service is blocked based on geolocation. Free accounts are also blocked outside the EU. Some users use a French VPN, but this violates TF1+'s Terms of Service and may result in account suspension.
