Basketball

National Basketball Association

The NBA's Canadian marketing arm is managed by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, parent company of the Toronto Raptors. In turn, MLSE is majority-owned by Bell Canada and Rogers Communications; as such, coverage is mostly shared between their co-owned TSN and Sportsnet networks, along with the MLSE-owned NBA TV Canada. Toronto Raptors games are primarily aired by TSN, TSN2 and RDS, with selected games airing on Sportsnet, Sportsnet One, or Sportsnet 360.^[2] Ancillary Raptors content, including game encores, air on NBA TV Canada.

All broadcasters air assorted non-Raptors games throughout the season (TSN promoted that it would air 148 regular-season games in total during the 2017–18 season);^[3] NBA TV Canada typically airs selected games and simulcasts of games from U.S. broadcasters (most often from its U.S. counterpart). All remaining games are available through the NBA League Pass out-of-market sports package.

TSN and NBA TV have the Canadian TV rights to broadcast the NBA Summer League and NBA G League.

Gridiron football

Canadian football

Canadian Football League

• TSN – all games including playoffs and Grey Cup
• RDS – all Montreal and all Ottawa games, as well as select additional games throughout the season, the playoffs and the Grey Cup.

Canadian university football

As of 2019, CBC Sports and TVA Sports broadcasts the national U Sports playoff games, namely the Mitchell Bowl, the Uteck Bowl, and the Vanier Cup, succeeding Sportsnet (who aired it from 2013 to 2018).^[14]

TVA Sports carries many QSSF games. In 2016, Sportsnet's sister broadcast network Citytv began broadcasting a four-game U Sports Game of the Week package.^{[15] [16]} Games not covered by these contracts are often carried by local cable community channels.

In 2015, Global aired a Hardy Trophy semi-final and championship game as part of the Shaw TV (Shaw Cable) Canada West conference package (at the time, Shaw directly owned Global).^[17]

As of the 2017–18 season, Canada West conference rights are held by Bell MTS Fibe TV, SaskTel MaxTV and Telus TV (including a regular season package and playoff coverage).^{[18] [19]} The conference also operates an over-the-top subscription service known as Canada West TV, which broadcasts events not shown on these packages.^[20]

American football

National Football League

Contracts are current as of the 2020 NFL season.

• CTV – Sunday afternoon games, most playoff games, and the Super Bowl.
• TSN – Sunday afternoon games. Airs all primetime game packages, including Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and Thursday Night Football. Additional Sunday afternoon games, and playoff games interfering with other major events carried on CTV, may air on one or more of the TSN feeds.
• Through its relationship with the network, TSN also carries ESPN's NFL studio programming, including NFL Live, Sunday NFL Countdown, and Monday Night Countdown.
• CTV2 simulcasts Sunday Night Football, Thursday Night Football and as of the 2023-24 season, Monday Night Football games with TSN.^[21]
• NFL RedZone is available via TSN for TV Everywhere and TSN Direct subscribers.
• RDS / RDS2 – French-language coverage.^[21]
• DAZN – NFL Game Pass and streaming of all games, NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and additional archive content, as part of its service.^{[22] [23]} DAZN also distributes the NFL Sunday Ticket service in Canada; while DAZN initially planned to only distribute a digital out-of-market product in Canada, the company backtracked and revived Sunday Ticket following user complaints over the quality of its streams.^{[24] [25] [26]}

Due to Canadian regulations that permit stations from different areas to be carried in the same market, several games may be available in each of the Sunday timeslots through a combination of domestic and American stations from different areas, without a subscription to Sunday Ticket. By contrast, outside a handful of areas where multiple neighbouring network affiliates are available, no more than three games may be aired in a given U.S. market on any Sunday afternoon (up to four games in week 17).

U.S. college football

Many ESPN College Football games are aired by TSN's feeds, including the regular season and most bowl games (which were, in the past, shared with Sportsnet 360, and not withstanding conflicts with other programming such as the World Junior Hockey Championship), and all College Football Playoff bowls. TSN also carries some of ESPN's studio programming, such as College GameDay.

Coverage of games is also available from U.S. networks carried or available for streaming in Canada:

• Big Ten Network: Big Ten Conference
• CBS Sports Network: Conference USA, Mountain West Conference
• Fox: Pac-12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Pac-12 Conference, and Mountain West Conference
• CBS: SEC
• NBC: Notre Dame home games
• Pac-12 Network: Pac-12 Conference
• Stadium: Conference USA, Mountain West Conference
• FloSports: New Mexico State

An out-of-market sports package offered by some providers includes other games from U.S. outlets that are not otherwise available in Canada (such as Fox Sports Networks, and ESPN games not picked up by the TSN channels). FloSports and Stadium also carry several FCS conferences such as Colonial Athletic Association, Gulf South Conference and Patriot League.

Hockey

National Hockey League

Rogers Communications is the sole national rightsholder of the NHL in Canada through the 2025–26 season. Most national telecasts air on Sportsnet properties, and include, but are not limited to:^{[27] [28] [29]}

• Hockey Night in Canada: Exclusive national window for Canadian teams on Saturday nights, multiple games airing across CBC Television, Citytv, and Sportsnet channels.
  • In rare circumstances, due to non-hockey programming conflicts, the Sportsnet regional channels may air different games.^[30] However, all four Sportsnet regional channels are available nationwide through the digital services of most providers.
• Scotiabank Wednesday Night Hockey; Exclusive national Wednesday-night game on Sportsnet.
• National Monday-night game.
  • Aired on Sportsnet in 2021–22 as Rogers Hometown Hockey (previously on Sundays from 2014–21) and from 2022 to 2024 as Rogers Monday Night Hockey.
  • For the 2024–25 and 2025–26 seasons, these rights will be sublicensed exclusively to Amazon Prime Video and branded Prime Monday Night Hockey.^[31]
• Simulcasts of all-U.S. games from regional sports networks, and U.S. national rightsholders (including ESPN and TNT Sports).
• Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage; early rounds divided between CBC and Sportsnet. All games from the conference finals onward are simulcast by both networks.
• Canadian distribution and marketing rights to the NHL.tv (Sportsnet+) and NHL Centre Ice services, which carries out-of-market games and U.S. nationally televised games not aired by Sportsnet channels.
• Hockey Night in Canada: Punjabi Edition: Coverage of selected Hockey Night in Canada games with Punjabi language commentary on Omni Television.^[32]
• Since 2019, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) simulcasts selected games with commentary in the Plains Cree language.^[33]

French-language rights were sub-licensed to Quebecor Media; all coverage airs on TVA Sports. La super soirée LNH serves as the flagship broadcast on Saturday nights, typically featuring the Montreal Canadiens.^{[34] [35]}

Regional

Canadian teams also contract with local or regional broadcasters for selected pre-season and regular season games not covered by the national contracts. These deals are separate from the national rights deal, and may cover up to 60 regular-season games per season. Rights are current as of the 2021–22 NHL season.

• Vancouver Canucks

Sportsnet Pacific

• Edmonton Oilers

Sportsnet West

• Calgary Flames

Sportsnet West

• Winnipeg Jets

TSN3

• Toronto Maple Leafs

Sportsnet Ontario (16 games), TSN4 (26 games) (English)

• • Rights to the Maple Leafs' regional telecasts are divided equally between TSN and Sportsnet (whose parent companies own a joint majority stake in the team's parent company). Of Sportsnet's 26 regional Leafs games, ten are broadcast nationally in conjunction with Rogers' national NHL rights, with Molson Canadian as presenting sponsor.
  • The team-owned Leafs Nation Network airs replays and other ancillary coverage of the team.
• Ottawa Senators

TSN5 and RDS/RDS2

• Montreal Canadiens

TSN2 and RDS

Each team's regional game broadcasts are restricted to viewers of that team's designated home broadcast region as assigned by the NHL. Outside said region, these broadcasts are made available exclusively through NHL Centre Ice (TV) or Rogers NHL Live (streaming). If the originating channel is available outside a team's region (e.g. out-of-market Sportsnet feeds), the game broadcasts must be blacked out in these other areas. Sportsnet also operates part-time channels for the Canucks, Flames, and Oilers in case of scheduling conflicts: these channels are tied to the Sportsnet One licence. During the period that it held the rights, Sportsnet used City station CJNT as the overflow channel for Canadiens games instead.

Under previous (2002–14) rights deals with RDS, the Canadiens forwent a separate regional rights contract (at the time of its establishment, RDS was the only national French-language sports channel in Canada) and allowed all of its games to be broadcast nationally in French in conjunction with RDS's package. With the transition to TVA Sports as national rightsholder, the Canadiens chose to negotiate a 12-year regional rights deal with RDS (the team is partially owned by the channel's parent BCE Inc.) in the team's designated broadcast region.^{[36] [37]}

U.S. teams in close proximity to the Canada–US border are now also able to sell Canadian regional broadcast rights to their games. During the 2013–14 season, Bell Satellite TV and Bell Fibe TV acquired regional rights to Buffalo Sabres broadcasts for portions of Canada within a 50-mile radius of First Niagara Center, approximately stretching from Niagara Falls to the community of Stoney Creek in Hamilton. Sabres game broadcasts were made available to Bell TV subscribers in this region at no extra cost, and were no longer available as part of the NHL Centre Ice package through other providers serving this region.^[38] The Sabres' agreement with Bell eventually ended, and the team later reached a similar agreement with streaming TV provider Fubo beginning in the 2023–24 NHL season.^[39] The Detroit Red Wings, whose market borders on Windsor, Ontario, is presumably able to sell similar rights but has not yet done so.

As with other sports properties, game broadcasts on U.S. terrestrial stations carried in Canada, such as ABC's national rights package, are also available without blackout, though from time to time Rogers has simulcast these productions on Citytv for simultaneous substitution purposes.

Canadian Hockey League

As of the 2021–22 season, the national CHL package is divided between TSN and CBC Sports. Many regular-season games are aired locally by community channels.

• TSN and RDS hold rights to the Memorial Cup and other national CHL-organized events
• TSN will broadcast 30 national games from across the CHL's leagues.^[40]
• RDS will broadcast 20 national games from across the CHL's leagues.
• CBC Television will carry a package of six games on Saturday afternoons in October and November.^[41]
• CBC will stream a weekly "game of the week" package beginning in November.

Other events

• TSN and RDS hold broadcast rights to national championships and most international events sanctioned by Hockey Canada, including but not limited to IIHF world championships, the Telus Cup (men's U18), Centennial Cup (men's junior A), Esso Cup (women's U18) and the Allan Cup (senior). In 2020, TSN renewed its rights through the 2033–34 season.^[42]
