Les Bleues are on their way to an unprecedented double, after their gold medal at the Olympics, and millions of spectators will be able to cheer them behind their TV.
As in 2017, TF1 announced that it will broadcast the final of the Women's Handball World Cup on Sunday (at 5.30 p.m.), which pits the French team against Norway.
Possessing the rights to the competition, the TF1 group had already broadcast some matches on its other TNT channel, TMC.

Grégoire Margotton will be in the comments, accompanied by former player and 2003 world champion Nodjialem Myaro as a consultant.
The duo are expected to take the air ten minutes before the start of the match.
Inevitable consequence of this change of schedule: the magazine Sept Ă Huit by Harry Roselmack, usually broadcast on this time slot, has been canceled.

Four years ago, the first channel had already broadcast the final of the Women's World Cup, which already opposed… France to Norway.
Yet not favorites, the Blue then won (23-21), in front of 4.3 million viewers, with a peak at the end of the match at 6.9 million.
An ideal scenario, for the chain as for the players, that they will try to reproduce, Sunday.
In the semi-final, the daughters of Olivier Krumbholz eliminated Denmark in extremis (23-22).
