Prime Video France 2026: subscription price & how to watch

Prime Video subscription price in France (2026)

Unlike Netflix or Disney+, Amazon Prime Video is not sold as a range of quality tiers, so your Prime Video subscription cost in France comes down to how you access it. There are only two ways to pay for it, plus one option and one student rate:

The key thing to understand is that Prime Video is bundled inside Amazon Prime. If you take a full Amazon Prime membership at 6.99€/month, Prime Video is already part of it — you do not pay twice. The standalone Prime Video only subscription at 5.99€/month exists but is barely promoted, because for just 1€ more the full membership adds free delivery, Amazon Music, Prime Reading and Photos. New Amazon Prime members also get a 30-day free trial. There is even a third route: one French fibre box — Free's Freebox Ultra — includes Prime Video at no extra cost (more on that below).

Prime Video ads & the ad-free option

Since 9 September 2024, Amazon shows adverts on Prime Video by default in France, for every subscriber — whether you pay for full Amazon Prime, Prime Video only, or the student plan. You typically see a few minutes of ads per hour of viewing, played before and during films and series.

To watch without interruptions, you add the ad-free option at 1.99€/month on top of your existing subscription. It does not change your base price or catalogue — it simply removes the adverts. Amazon also reserves its highest-quality audio and video formats, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, for the ad-free tier, so the option restores those on compatible titles and devices.

What's included with Prime Video in France

Every Prime Video subscription — standalone or via Amazon Prime — gives the same access. There are no quality tiers to choose between:

• ✓4K Ultra HD and HDR streaming included at no extra cost, where the title supports it;
• ✓Up to 3 simultaneous streams (maximum 2 on the same title);
• ✓Offline downloads on the mobile and tablet app for watching without a connection;
• ✓Amazon Originals such as The Boys, Fallout, Reacher and Le Flambeau;
• ✓X-Ray, showing cast, music and trivia while you watch.

Two things sit outside the base subscription. Prime Video Channels let you add third-party services (such as Paramount+ or sports packages) as paid extras billed through Amazon. And live sport comes and goes: Amazon held Ligue 1 football rights in France until 2024 and still carries events such as the Roland-Garros night sessions, but sports line-ups change season to season, so check the current schedule before subscribing for a specific competition.

Prime Video works on virtually every device: iOS and Android phones and tablets, smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Android TV), Amazon Fire TV sticks, Chromecast, Apple TV, games consoles and any web browser.
