La Une online television

La Une is a Belgian free-to-air television channel operating in the generalist format. The primary language of broadcasting is French. The channel was launched under its current name on January 29, 2004, though it traces its origins to the public broadcaster INR (Institut National de Radiodiffusion), which began experimental broadcasts on June 2, 1953, with the live transmission of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of England. Official transmissions began on October 31, 1953, from the Flagey studios in Brussels. The channel is owned and operated by RTBF (Radio-télévision belge de la Communauté française), the public-service broadcasting organization for the French-speaking Community of Belgium. La Une is the flagship channel of the RTBF network and is considered the equivalent of the Flemish public broadcaster VRT's channel Eén . The channel is based in Brussels, Belgium, and its slogan is "Regardez, ça vous regarde" (Look, this concerns you) .

On air, La Une is a generalist channel offering a wide range of programming, including news, entertainment, lifestyle content, drama series, films, documentaries, and live sports coverage. The flagship news program is the daily evening newscast Le 19:30, which is consistently one of the most-watched programs in French-speaking Belgium. Other regular news and magazine programs include Le Journal des Sports for sports news, Le Jardin Extraordinaire (a nature and documentary program that has been on air since 1965), and the weekly lifestyle magazine Viva Week-end .

Sports coverage is a major pillar of La Une's programming and a significant ratings driver. The channel holds the exclusive free-to-air broadcast rights in Belgium for major international football competitions. Under agreements running through 2027, La Une broadcasts live matches from the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League, with RTBF holding the rights to two matches per matchday and retaining the first pick of games . The channel is also the exclusive Belgian broadcaster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, airing all 104 matches live and free of charge across digital and linear platforms . Additionally, RTBF has the rights to the UEFA Women's Champions League until 2030, with La Une showing at least one match per game week, plus all matches featuring Belgian teams .

Historically, La Une has been the home of France's most popular talk shows, including Tout le monde en parle (which aired on the channel from 1999 to 2004) and On n'est pas couché from 2006 to 2020. The channel has also produced its own successful original entertainment programs, such as the long-running daily talk show C'est du belge. La Une was the first Belgian television channel to broadcast 24 hours a day .
