The France national team continues to captivate the world and especially French supporters in this 2026 World Cup.
Thursday evening, the quarterfinal victory against Morocco (2-0) drew an average of 16.1 million viewers on M6, representing an exceptional 72.8% audience share according to Médiamétrie.
The channel even recorded a peak of 18.1 million viewers at 10:47 p.m.
This is simply the best audience since the World Cup began, but also the biggest score of the year 2026 on television.
The previous record already belonged to the Blues with the opening match against Senegal (13.99 million viewers).
Anticipated enthusiasm should rise even further ahead of the semi-final, scheduled Tuesday at 8:00 p.m., against the winner of the Spain – Belgium clash.
