Canada’s group stage run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues Thursday after noon when the national team faces Qatar at BC Place in Vancouver. Kickoff is set for 3:00 PM PT/6:00 PM ET, and there are plenty of ways to watch live across the country.
English broadcasts (TSN)
Bell Media’s TSN has the exclusive English-language rights for the tournament. You can catch the match on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, or TSN5 on cable, or stream it through the TSN app or TSN.ca.
Cord-cutters can grab a standalone TSN+ subscription for $8 per month, but that doesn’t include the main TSN channels. Bell is also running a three-month TSN and Crave bundle for $69.99 if you want full tournament coverage in one package.
Free options (CTV)
CTV is broadcasting Canada’s group stage games for free over the air. Hook up a digital antenna and you’re good to go with no cable package needed. CTV’s live channel is also available through the Crave hub online, so you can stream the match for free without a paid Crave subscription.
French broadcasts (RDS/Noovo)
French-language coverage is on RDS for the full match, with select coverage also airing on Noovo.
Vancouver fan zone
If you’re in Vancouver, the city is throwing a free public viewing party at the PNE Grounds at Hastings Park. The outdoor fan zone has a new 10,000-capacity amphitheatre with big screens. General admission is free but grab your tickets on Ticketmaster ahead of time to lock in your spot.

I use Fibe TV to watch CTV. I don’t have cable.
