When Groupe M6 retired the long-running 6play app in May 2024 and rolled out M6+, it folded the live feeds of M6, W9, 6ter, Gulli, Paris Première and Téva into one home, plus a back catalogue topping 18,000 hours. With more than thirty million registered users, it now ranks among the busiest catch-up services in France. Reaching M6+ outside France runs straight into a strict French IP wall, though: the moment the service spots you in another country, the player simply tells you the content is not available in your region.
A VPN is the workaround. Connect through Surfshark to a French server, pick up a Paris IP address, and Top Chef, Pekin Express and the free 2026 World Cup matches M6 airs from 11 June will play just as they would inside France. M6+ is offered in only 1 country (France, plus Monaco and Andorra), so a French IP is non-negotiable from anywhere else. It streams in 1080p, the standard ad-supported tier costs nothing, and the paid Max plan runs ≈ $6.72/mo.
M6+ actively blocks VPNs. Only certain providers reliably bypass the detection.

M6+ is the streaming service of France’s Groupe M6 (part of RTL Group), launched in May 2024 as the successor to 6play. It carries live feeds of the group’s channels (M6, W9, 6ter, Paris Première, Téva, Gulli) alongside an on-demand library of more than 30,000 hours of films and series. The standard M6+ tier is free with ads and available in France, while M6+ Max (5.99 €/month) removes advertising, unlocks early access to selected drama, and lets you download episodes for offline viewing.
