France National Team TV Schedule
Find out how to watch the defending World Cup champions using this France National Team TV schedule.
The 2018 World Cup provided France its second World Cup win. Ergo, France became just the sixth team to win multiple World Cup tournaments. For reference France won its first World Cup at home in 1998. In the European Championship, France has two tournament wins yet again.
Over the last five to ten years, France established itself as one of the premier soccer nations in the world. Russia 2018 showed France’s dominance against the world’s best. However, France still had one of the youngest rosters competing at that World Cup. Therefore, France shows no signs of leaving the biggest stage.

Lineup
No other squad can compete with the talent at Didier Deschamps’s disposal. When France won the World Cup in 2018, it had the second-youngest lineup in the competition. Safe to say it was good experience for the current generation of French players.
Certain players are a lock, especially looking ahead to the 2022 World Cup. Karim Benzema, who was not on the France squad in 2018, is on track to win the Ballon d’Or based on his season at Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappé is set to join Benzema at Real Madrid for the 2022/23 season. N’golo Kanté and Paul Pogba, despite relative struggles at the club level this season, are midfield maestros.
There will be tough calls for Deschamps when picking his best potential starting XI. The lineup above is just one example of what he could put together. However, the options seem to roll on forever.
It is not crazy to think that France’s substitutes a reserves could do damage at the World Cup. Attacking options not in that potential starting XI include Ousmane Demebele, who led LaLiga in assists. Christopher Nkunku won Bundesliga Player of the Season. Kingsley Coman starts regularly for Bayern Munich.
Plus, defensive options abound. Aurélien Tchouameni is a strong option behind N’golo Kanté. Jules Koundé and Dayot Upamecano would be a top-three center-back pairing in the World Cup. Plus, Mike Maignan led Serie A in clean sheets for AC Milan.
This is just the surface. France is the favorites at the World Cup in 2022 for a good reason.
