TF1 leads French television audiences for late September 2026

French television viewership data for the week of September 28 to October 4, 2026, shows TF1 leading the market with a 19.8% share. The channel's performance was bolstered by two French national football team matches, including a game against Italy that reached a 41% audience share.

France 2 recorded a 14.4% market share, marking an increase in viewership. In contrast, France 3 saw a decline, finishing the week with an 8.5% share, attributed to difficulties in its game show slots and underperforming prime-time programming.

In the news sector, CNews maintained its position as the leader of digital terrestrial television with a 3.5% market share, narrowly ahead of BFMTV, which held 3.4%. LCI followed in third place with a 2.7% share.
