Not directly from Sky. They provide services only to the UK and ROI. I don't know if there's a local provider who might carry some Sky channels

hi @Saveilles16240 

 

Unfortunately Broadcast rights have always been allocated in tightly controlled territories & all the major companies throughtout Europe doing their best to ensure their products are only availble in the territory that they have rights for.    

 

SKY have always been tight on this and there is no legitimate way to subscribe from outside the UK or Ireland for the UK/Irish channels

 

As you probably know probably most of the shows will be dubbed when on the French channels - I don't think many Entertainment shows do get broadcast in  English aka V.O.(Version Originale)  there - although Canal + and the other major film channels usually offer the Films in V.O

 

A couple of reports I have read imply that France may get HBO Max earlier than it would be availble in the UK - but even so I don't think it is iminent there

@Saveilles16240  Canal Plus are the pay TV operators for France so you would need to subscribe through them.

 

There are of course a number of FTA News channels in English, Arte sometimes has programes with English Sound tracks on them,  but mostly they are all French language (dubbed or native)  https://www.lyngsat.com/packages/Canal---France.html

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

But that would require a uk residential tv subscription first
