The victory of the French football team against Germany at Euro 2020 was followed by more than 15 million viewers on M6 on Tuesday evening.

This is the biggest audience of 2021.

It was an announced cardboard box, and it did take place.

The French football team's first match against Germany at Euro 2020 attracted nearly 15.1 million viewers on Tuesday evening on M6, or 57.5% of the public.

This performance allows the sixth channel to achieve the biggest audience of the year 2021. It does better than when the Blues entered the competition at Euro 2016 in France against Romania, which had gathered 14.4 million supporters in front of TF1 on June 10, 2016.

By way of comparison with our neighbors across the Rhine, the France-Germany match brought together 22.6 million German fans in front of the public channel ZDF (67.4% of PDA).

Well above its competitors

The solid victory of the France team (1-0) therefore crushed the competition on Tuesday night.

It is France 3 which comes in second place, far behind with the replay of the telefilm "Le mort de la plage" (2.7 million viewers, 10% of PDA).

On the third step of the podium, TF1 is invited thanks to the film "Momo" seen by 1.6 million people (4.6% of PDA).

For the entry into contention of the Blues at Euro 2020, this is a good performance for M6, however behind the final of the 2016 edition that the channel had broadcast in front of more than 20 million viewers.

Other records could therefore be broken.
