Launched in 1984, the Canal+ channel is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year. 40 years of audacity and success. In the space of 40 years, Canal+ has transformed the PAF by introducing a new way of consuming sport, cinema and series. Even today, the Canal+ channel leaves its mark on the French Audiovisual Landscape. Emblematic, it remains still essential. And that’s good, some people have access to it for free. Indeed, the Canal+ channel is accessible without any additional cost for subscribers to one of the four Internet service providers.
Canal+: a premium channel
The two pillars of Canal+ are cinema and series, and sport. And we find either one or the other, or both, in each of the Canal offers. But if there is one subscription that summarizes all of this, it is the Canal+ Live channel.
It gives access to:
- ultra-recent cinema, with more than 300 new films per yearbroadcast exclusively on Cana+ only six months after their cinema release, and unmissable films
- series with the now famous original creations from Canal+ and international series
- sports with the best UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday and the best UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League match on Thursday, 2 Premier League matches per day, 2 TOP14 matches per day100% of Formula 1® and MotoGP™ Grands Prix™
- but also documentaries, youth content
In short, no matter when you watch Canal+, you are sure to find a quality or exclusive program on Canal+. And when it’s possible to have access to all of this for free, we’re not going to complain.
Free Canal+, what do you think?
Among Internet service providers, Canal+ has always had a special partner. This operator is Free. For example, TV by Canal channels were included for a long time with the Freebox Révolution offer. This is no longer the case today. But the bouquet of around fifty channels has arrived in the long list of services included with the Freebox Ultra.
Among the Freebox offers, the Freebox Ultra is the premium subscription. It allows you to benefit from all the best from Free in terms of Internet, Wi-Fi and entertainment. With a mix: fiber up to 8 Gb/s, Wi-Fi 7, a Wi-Fi repeater, Netflix included, Prime Video included, Disney+ included, Max included for three months, and therefore the TV channels by Canal… as well as the Canal+ Live channel.
