BET France was a French TV channel owned by Paramount Skydance Corporation. It was the French version of BET in the United States. It was launched on November 17, 2015 in France.[1]

In France since the end of June 2012, a BET Break box was broadcast every day with The Heat and 106 & Park on MTV.

In October 2015, the launch of BET France was announced for November 17, 2015. This information created a controversy because of the absence of black animators on a historical community channel.

After weeks of negotiations, an agreement was reached between the ViacomCBS and Canal groups, the Canal Group retained the BET channels, MTV Hits France and J-One.

The channel's voiceover was China Moses.

Since January 14, 2020, the channel changed its number to channel 85 of the Canal+

In 2021, Canal+ replaced BET in its overseas operations by Nickelodeon Junior.

BET ceased broadcasting in France on January 1, 2026.[2]
