Find out how to watch the defending World Cup champions using this France National Team TV schedule.

The 2018 World Cup provided France its second World Cup win. Ergo, France became just the sixth team to win multiple World Cup tournaments. For reference France won its first World Cup at home in 1998. In the European Championship, France has two tournament wins yet again. 2022 nearly saw France repeat, falling in the final to Argentina on penalty kicks.

Over the last five to ten years, France established itself as one of the premier soccer nations in the world. Russia 2018 showed France’s dominance against the world’s best. However, France still had one of the youngest rosters competing at that World Cup. Therefore, France shows no signs of leaving the biggest stage.

Lineup

No other squad can compete with the talent at France’s disposal. When France won the World Cup in 2018, it had the second-youngest lineup in the competition. Safe to say it was good experience for the current generation of French players.

Certain players are a lock. Karim Benzema remains one of the top players in the world. And Kylian Mbappé had an outstanding 2022 World Cup, perhaps only outshined by his PSG teammate Messi. N’golo Kanté and Paul Pogba, despite relative struggles at the club level, are midfield maestros.

Defensive options abound. Aurélien Tchouameni is a strong option behind N’golo Kanté. Jules Koundé and Dayot Upamecano would be a top-three center-back pairing in the World Cup. Plus, Mike Maignan led Serie A in clean sheets for AC Milan.
