This means that Grand Slam France cannot be watched live; the only way is in the arena. The first broadcast will take place on the streaming platform MyAEW in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday at 3:00 AM Paris time / 9:00 PM Montreal time. And the second broadcast on French television will be on Warner TV Next on Thursday at 21:45.
