Yes, there are many places. Irish pubs are popular in Paris (and around the world), and many there show EPL and Champions League games. I've seen games at the Frog & Princess in the 6th, The Cricketeer in the 8th, Kitty O'Shea's (1st or 8th), and some other pub near the Louvre (can't remember the name).
If you google Irish pubs in Paris, you'll find a list, and then google those pubs, as many have websites. But be warned that some Irish pubs are Irish in name only!

All Irish pubs are "Irish" in name only.
There is a chain of Frog and Rosbif English pubs in Paris that have Sky. This is where most English people watch the footy.

They also sell proper beer (at about £5 a pint!)

The Highlander on the Rue de Nevers and the Thistle show all English and Scottish premier games as well as all the Champions league and Uefa matches with British interest. Beers incliding caledonia 80 shilling are around 6 Euro 50. They're owned and run by Scots and are proper anglophone bars.

Scots are not all anglophones. Some speak Gaelic, and some speak Lalland.
And then there are Glaswegians.

At the last census 1.2% of Scots considered themselves Gaelic speakers. Of these a tiny percentage spoke Gaelic exclusively. Lallans may be used in some locales but every Lallans speaker would be able to understand and converse in standard English when required.
Honestly guys, getting this picky about what was a straightforward OP might indicate you have too much time on your hands.

Of course we have too much time on our hands: that's why we are here. And who's being picky?

"And of course Scousers, Brummies, Cockneys, Geordies, Bristolians etc are all standard bearers for the Queens English. Honestly Waring, get a grip!"
