France's premier football league, Ligue 1 (officially Ligue 1 McDonald's, in case you were wondering which lucky brand took the torch this year), may be miles away, but did you know there's a way to watch them fully live without cable in the States? To catch all the Ligue 1 action, you can either subscribe to a live TV streaming service that carries the beIN SPORTS channel, or you can sign up for Fanatiz, a streaming service dedicated to all things international football. The former is a good option if you're looking for a more comprehensive and all-around streaming package, while the latter is best considered as an add-on option since it is limited to one sport. So if you're ready to see this season's games, sit back, relax, and grab your (Mc)baguettes; here are the best services to watch Ligue 1 cordless.

Sling TV may be an affordable live TV streaming option, but because of its limited local channel offerings, it tends to be ignored by hardcore sports fans (especially football fans) hoping to cheer for their team. Thankfully, Sling's Sports Extra bundle, which costs $11/month, adds about 10-20 more channels depending on your plan. Popular channels include NHL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV, and NFL Redzone. If you want even more concentrated content, Sling TV also has a football season pass that allows users to pre-pay $219 for Sling TV Orange and Blue + Sports Extra, which lets you watch all the major league games on ESPN, ABC, NBC, and Fox (though notably no CBS).

There are two ways you can get NFL Redzone through YouTube TV. The first is when you bundle it with the NFL Sunday Ticket, a standalone offer that lets you watch NFL Sunday games even without a YouTube TV subscription. But that would cost you a hefty $519 across four months (or a whole season). The second and cheaper way to get NFL Redzone is by purchasing YouTube TV's Sports Plus Add-on, available only to YouTube TV subscribers. The add-on itself costs $11/month, cancellable anytime, but paired with YouTube TV's base plan, the bundle will cost you a total of about $84/month. Not bad, especially since Sports Plus comes with 15 other sports channels, including Fox Soccer, BeinSports, MAVTV, and Tennis Channel.
Price: $84/month
Channel lineup: Bein Sports, Bein Sports XTRA, Billiard TV, Fanduel TV, Fight Network, FOX Soccer Plus, IMPACT Wrestling, MAV TV, NFL Redzone, Outside, Overtime, PlayersTV, PokerGO+, SportsGrid, Stadiuml, Tennis Channel, VSiN

Vidgo Mas is the streamer's bespoke plan for Spanish-language viewers. It has the main channels viewed by Hispanic households, including Unimas and Univision, and Spanish versions of popular channels like Sony Cine, History en Español, ESPN Deportes, and Nat Geo Mundo. Like Vidgo's Plus and Premium plans, Mas comes with 20 hours of cloud DVR, three simultaneous screens, and access to on-demand content. Unlike other Spanish plans, Vidgo Mas isn't available as an add-on. If you want both English and Latin American channels, then you'll have to subscribe to the Vidgo Ultimate plan (currently at a whopping $100/month), which combines all of Vidgo's live TV channels, regardless of language.
