France 24 Marks 20 Years of International Journalism with Special Anniversary Programming

11 Nov 2026

France 24 will celebrate its 20th anniversary on 6 December 2026, marking two decades of delivering international news and analysis to audiences worldwide. To commemorate the milestone, the broadcaster will present a special week of programming from 2–6 December 2026 across its four television channels and digital platforms.

The anniversary programming will revisit some of the most significant global events of the past 20 years, featuring retrospectives of award-winning documentaries, memorable reports and exclusive accounts from journalists and correspondents who have covered major developments around the world. Special messages from guests and contributors will also form part of the celebrations.

Through a series of dedicated editorial features, France 24 will offer audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the people, stories and experiences that have shaped its international coverage since its launch on 6 December 2006. The initiative will also recognise the broadcaster’s continued evolution in an increasingly digital and competitive global media landscape.

Broadcasting around the clock in French, English, Arabic and Spanish, France 24 reaches 577 million households across five continents. Its weekly audience stands at 153.7 million people, including 108.5 million television viewers, supported by a global network of approximately 200 correspondents.

The broadcaster has also established a substantial digital presence, recording 17.9 million monthly visits to its digital platforms and 2.6 billion video views in 2025. With more than 73.3 million subscribers across major social media platforms, France 24 continues to expand its international reach through digital-first news distribution.

As it enters its third decade, France 24 reaffirms its commitment to independent, accessible and reliable journalism, building on 20 years of international reporting, editorial innovation and engagement with audiences around the world.
