IPTV Quebec & French-language TV
Québec networks, French news and sport, and French-language on demand, carried on every plan rather than sold as an add-on. Here's what's included, how it works in Québec, and what it costs.
Canada is officially bilingual, but a lot of global IPTV services carry little or no French television. IPTVSMART treats French-language channels as a core part of the Canadian line-up, included on every plan.

What's carried in French
| Category | Coverage |
|---|---|
| General networks | The main Québec broadcast networks and their regional stations |
| News & current affairs | 24-hour French news, public-affairs and business channels |
| Sport in French | French-language sports networks and event feeds |

Numbers move over time; expect several hundred French-language live channels plus a French section in the on-demand library. If a French film or series you want isn't there, you can ask support to add it.
Audio and subtitles
Many channels carry multiple audio tracks. Where a broadcaster provides it, you can switch a channel between French and English audio, or turn on subtitles, from the player. This is handy for bilingual households watching the same screen.
Sport in French
Hockey is the reason many Québec households look at IPTV. The line-up carries the national broadcasts, regional broadcasts for every team and league-wide out-of-market games, so a Canadiens fan in Calgary or an Oilers fan in Québec City can follow their team all season. Where a game is broadcast in both languages, you choose the French or English channel. The CFL (Alouettes included), the NFL, European soccer, the NBA, MLB, combat sports and F1 are covered too; see sports coverage for the detail.
IPTV in Québec: what changes for your household
- Keep your internet. Whether you're with Vidéotron, Bell, Cogeco or a regional provider, only the TV part changes. Most residential plans in Québec comfortably clear the 15 Mbps per screen HD needs; 4K wants 25 Mbps or more.
- No equipment to rent. The player app runs on a Fire TV Stick, a Samsung or LG Smart TV, an Android TV box, an Apple device or a computer. Formuler and MAG boxes work too; see do you need an IPTV box?
- Same price everywhere. Montréal, Québec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Lévis or Trois-Rivières: the line-up, the price and the support are identical, and the login follows you to the cottage.

Common questions
Is French-language TV included in every plan?
Yes. Québec networks, French news and sports channels, French specialty channels and the French section of the on-demand library are part of the standard line-up on every plan. There is no French add-on to buy.
Can I watch hockey in French?
Yes, wherever the broadcaster provides a French version of the game. National and regional NHL broadcasts and out-of-market games are included, in HD and in 4K on select games, and 7-day catch-up lets you watch a late game from the start the next day.
Does IPTV work everywhere in Québec?
Yes. Because it's delivered over the internet, the service, prices and support are the same in Montréal, Québec City, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Saguenay and everywhere else in the province, and it works on any Wi-Fi when you travel.
