LNVtv Review: Verdict, Cost & Sports Coverage
WhereSports Editorial Desk • Audited October 2026
The Verdict
Our Verdict: LNVtv is a great bargain for French volleyball fans, costing just €19.90 to €26.90 for the entire 9-month season with no monthly auto-renewal traps. A single season pass gives you live 1080p HD streams and full replays for the men's Marmara SpikeLigue, the women's Saforelle Power 6, Ligue B Masculine, and the Coupe de France across 2 screens at once. However, you need to know one major catch before you buy: beIN Sports holds exclusive live rights to the headline Marmara SpikeLigue match of each round (and Sport en France airs select matches), meaning those TV games are blacked out live on LNVtv and only uploaded as an on-demand replay the next day.
Best For
- Fans following live games across French Ligue A Mens Volleyball, French Ligue A Womens Volleyball.
- Viewers watching live coverage in our Volleyball TV schedule hubs.
- French volleyball fans who want an affordable one-time season pass (€19.90 to €26.90 for the whole year) covering Marmara SpikeLigue, Saforelle Power 6, and Ligue B
- Registered French Volleyball Federation (FFvolley) players, coaches, and referees who qualify for the discounted €15.90/season Pass Licencié
- Club supporters and family members who want to watch on 2 screens at the same time and cast matches to their TV with Chromecast or AirPlay
- Fans who cannot watch live on Saturday nights and rely on full-match on-demand replays
Pricing Reality
LNVtv is already one of the cheapest sports passes in France at under €27 for a full year, and there are three simple ways to avoid overpaying.
- Use a Club License Number to Save €11.00 (Pass Licencié FFvolley): Never pay the full €26.90 price for the Pass Intégral if you or a family member holds an active Fédération Française de Volley (FFvolley / FFVB) license. Entering a valid license number at checkout drops the all-access Pass Intégral (all 3 leagues + Coupe de France) to €15.90 for the entire season.
- Know the beIN Sports Live Blackout Rule Before You Buy: Do not buy LNVtv expecting to watch the Saturday headline Marmara SpikeLigue match live if it is scheduled on beIN Sports. TV-selected matches on beIN Sports (and select games on Sport en France) are blacked out live on LNVtv and only become available as a replay the next day.
- Watch Select Matches for €0 on Sport en France: If you only want to watch occasional big volleyball games for free, check the schedule on Sport en France first. Sport en France is a 100% free TV channel available on Orange (ch. 174), Free (ch. 190), SFR (ch. 129), Bouygues (ch. 192), Molotov, and sportenfrance.com.
- One-Time Payment With No Auto-Renewal Trap: All LNVtv passes (€7.90, €15.90, €19.90, and €26.90) are single upfront payments for the season, so you do not have to worry about forgetting to cancel in the summer.
Devices & Account Features
- Supported Devices: Available on Chromecast, AirPlay, iOS, Android, Web.
- Simultaneous Streams: Up to 2 concurrent streams per account (depending on tier).

In-Depth Platform Analysis & Coverage
Run by the Ligue Nationale de Volley (LNV), LNVtv (at lnvtv.com) is the official streaming site and mobile app for professional club volleyball in France. Instead of charging a monthly subscription, LNVtv sells simple one-time passes that cover the entire season from October through the May playoffs.
Here is what you can watch on LNVtv during the 2026/2027 season:
• Men's & Women's Pro Leagues (Pass Championnats, €19.90/season): Covers regular-season and playoff matches across the men's top-flight Marmara SpikeLigue, the women's top-flight Saforelle Power 6, and the men's second-division Ligue B.
• Coupe de France (Pass Coupe de France, €7.90/season, or included in the €26.90 Pass Intégral): Streams the men's and women's French Volleyball Cup knockout rounds through the finals.
• Next-Day Replays for TV-Exclusive Matches: Because beIN Sports broadcasts the top Marmara SpikeLigue match of each matchday live on pay TV (and free channel Sport en France airs select fixtures), those specific televised games are not shown live on LNVtv. Instead, LNVtv posts the full match replay on demand the following day.
All streams run in smooth 1080p HD at 50 frames per second with French commentary and live court scoreboards. You can watch on up to 2 screens at the same time on a computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android device, and cast the video to your living-room TV using Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay.

- Smooth 1080p 50fps HD streams that handle fast volleyball rallies clearly
- Allows watching on 2 screens at the same time per account
What to Consider (Cons)
- Headline Marmara SpikeLigue matches broadcast live on beIN Sports are blacked out live on LNVtv (available only on replay the next day)
- No native Smart TV apps for Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung, or LG (requires casting via Chromecast or AirPlay from a phone or laptop)
- No free trial is offered before purchasing a pass
- Automated court cameras are used in some smaller arenas instead of full multi-camera TV crews

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a Marmara SpikeLigue match missing from live streaming on LNVtv?
beIN Sports holds exclusive live TV rights to the headline match of each Marmara SpikeLigue matchday in France (and Sport en France broadcasts select matches). Because of those TV contracts, games airing live on beIN Sports are blacked out live on LNVtv and uploaded to LNVtv as a full on-demand replay the following day.
How do I get the €15.90 FFvolley license discount on LNVtv?
If you or someone in your family has an active Fédération Française de Volley (FFvolley / FFVB) player, coach, or referee license, select the Pass Licencié at checkout on lnvtv.com and enter your license number. That drops the full Pass Intégral (normally €26.90) down to €15.90 for the whole season.
Does my LNVtv season pass renew automatically next year?
No. All LNVtv passes (€7.90, €15.90, €19.90, and €26.90) are one-time seasonal payments that expire at the end of the playoffs in May, so you will never be charged automatically for the next season.
How can I watch LNVtv on my television?
LNVtv does not have a native app on Samsung, LG, Roku, or Apple TV stores. To watch on your television, open the match in the LNVtv mobile app (iOS or Android) or in the Chrome/Safari browser on your phone or laptop and tap the Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay icon to cast the stream to your TV.
Can I watch any French volleyball matches for free?
Yes. Select French volleyball matches and national cup games air for free on the television channel Sport en France, which you can watch at no cost on Orange (channel 174), Free (channel 190), SFR (channel 129), Bouygues (channel 192), Molotov, or online at sportenfrance.com.
