The M6 Group will broadcast FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament matches live and in Ultra High Definition (UHD) via Fransat, Eutelsat’s free-to-air DTH satellite platform for French DTT channels.
Thanks to the the Eutelsat 5 West B satellite, viewers across mainland France will be able to watch the event in UHD without reception or bandwidth constraints. From June 11th to July 19th, viewers equipped with compatible Fransat UHD satellite equipment will be able to watch the matches broadcast in UHD on the M6 4K channel, available on channel 56 of the Fransat platform.
Lydia Gaillard Faghihy, CEO of Fransat, commented: “Fransat is delighted to support the M6 Group in bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026 to viewers across France in 4K-UHD quality. This broadcast perfectly illustrates the essential role of satellite technology in ensuring reliable and consistent access to major television events throughout the country.”
