How to watch Ligue 1 on US TV
If you’re trying to find where to watch Ligue 1 on US TV, you’ve come to the right place.
With stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Jonathan David, there are plenty of reasons to watch French Ligue 1 matches.
Although Paris Saint Germain is currently France’s best club, and has been for the last few seasons, perhaps the greatest thing about Ligue 1 soccer has been its history of parity. Over the last 15 years, there have been eight different league champions (AS Monaco, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lille, Montpellier, and PSG).

Where to watch Ligue 1 on US TV
Here in America, beIN SPORTS has exclusive television rights to Ligue 1 matches through the end of the 2023/24 season.
On a typical weekend during the Ligue 1 season, every Paris Saint-Germain game is shown on beIN SPORTS (or beIN SPORTS Connect). If you’re a PSG supporter, then you can watch almost every game during a season live. For fans of other French clubs, matches are available via beIN SPORTS, beIN Sports Connect, or beIN Sports XTRA. The network also has a Spanish-language channel that broadcasts games called beIN Sports en Español.

Although Ligue 1 does not have as many fans as other worldwide soccer leagues here in America, if you want to experience French soccer alongside fans/friends in a pub setting, many pubs/sports bars carry the beIN SPORTS channel and will turn on matches if requested.
There are also localized fan clubs for certain teams spread throughout the country that meet up to watch matches together. For example, PSG’s New York City club supporters usually meet at Legends on 33rd street in New York for PSG matches.
