Les Bleus take on Los Pumas in Paris tonight. Here’s everything you need to know to tune in
The hosts are coming off the back of a famous victory over the All Blacks, while the visiting Pumas narrowly lost to Ireland last weekend. Today’s match is sure to be an intriguing contest, so you’ll want to know how to watch a France v Argentina live stream wherever you are in the world right now.
Kick-off: 8.10pm GMT, Friday 22 November
Watch for FREE in France: TF1+
Watch in the UK and Ireland: TNT Sports
Watch in the US: Peacock
The French have rarely looked themselves since going out of their home World Cup at the quarter-final stage, and 2024 has been something of a mixed bag. But last Saturday’s one-point win over the resurgent All Blacks suggested Fabien Galthié’s men have rediscovered their mojo, so hopes will be high for another memorable performance in Paris.
Argentina are just one place behind France in the world rankings and the July test series between the two sides was tied. The Pumas have had a year to remember, with Rugby Championship victories over New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, so will also want to sign 2024 off on a high – especially after coming so close to causing an upset in Dublin.
