The French Canadian dubbed episodes were shown, titled "Cosmos: 1999" (see below for more details). From December 1975 the government owned channel TF1 showed 10 episodes and in 1978 13 more as part of the Temps X science fiction programme (these were repeated in 1980 and 1986). The series was reportedly the most requested on the weekly repeat programme A la Carte. In August 1987 the private station La 5 began to show the episodes every weekday, then showing Year Two on Saturdays. In 1989 it again showed the episodes one every day at 11.35 am.

Year 1 French titles Year 2 French titles Year 2 French titles: Alerte Rouge

On September 13, 1999, the channel Série Club had a special La Nuit Special Cosmos 1999 (Space: 1999 Night) including a documentary on the series with a Martin Landau interview

Merchandising was minimal:

The fan club Cosmos 1999 published four quarterly newsletters between 1990 and 1999, and ran four conventions. In 2000 it was renamed Destination Alpha; it closed in 2002.
