The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off tomorrow, June 11, in North America, and Canadian fans have plenty of options to catch every match. Here’s a full breakdown of how to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, including TV channels, streaming services, and free public watch parties.
How to Watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada
Bell Media holds the exclusive Canadian broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, covering all 104 matches across its English, French, and digital platforms.
TSN (English)
TSN is the primary broadcaster, airing all 104 matches live on its cable TV channels. You can also stream every game through TSN.ca or the TSN app. Cord-cutters can subscribe to TSN+ for standalone streaming access, which also includes multi-language feeds with commentary from competing nations. TSN+ costs $8/month or $80/year. If you want full main TSN 1-5 channels, you’ll need a TSN cable TV package.
CTV and Crave (English)
CTV is broadcasting 30 select matches for free over the air, including all of Canada’s group stage games and key knockout round fixtures. Those same matches are available to stream free on Crave through its live CTV channel hub.
RDS and Noovo (French)
French-language viewers can catch all 104 matches on RDS, with select games also airing on Noovo.
TSN/Crave Bundle Deal
There’s currently a 3-month TSN/Crave bundle available for $69.99, which works out to $23.33 per month. That’s a solid option if you want full tournament coverage in one package.
Canada’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Group Stage Schedule
The 2026 World Cup Final will take place at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET, with live national coverage airing on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5, CTV, and Crave.
2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Festivals in Canada
FIFA Fan Festivals are running throughout the tournament and are free to attend at official host city locations.
In Toronto, the fan zone is split between Fort York National Historic Site and The Bentway. In Vancouver, fans can head to the PNE Grounds at Hastings Park, which features a new 10,000-capacity amphitheatre with large outdoor screens.
General admission is free, but it’s worth grabbing free tickets through Ticketmaster in advance, especially for Canada’s matches when demand will be highest. Paid premium tickets with reserved seating and fast-track entry are also available at both venues.
