How to Watch the NFL in Canada in English and French (2026 Season)

How to watch NFL in Canada on TSN, CTV and RDS

For NFL on TSN and CTV, check the date, opponent and channel before settling on an app. CTV2 also carries games, and some CTV assignments vary by region. A channel name alone does not tell you which matchup your local feed will show. Bell Media’s weekly Canadian NFL listings identify the channels for individual games.

For NFL in French, look for RDS or RDS2 in those listings. The NFL’s Canadian viewing guide also identifies RDS as its French broadcaster, including playoff and Super Bowl coverage. Check the commentary language instead of assuming that an English stream has a French audio option.

If you’d rather watch through your TV provider or the broadcaster’s app, confirm the game is included in your package before subscribing. In a bilingual household, agree on the commentary language first. Finding a French pregame show does not automatically establish which language you will hear during the game.

NFL streaming in Canada: apps, prices and commitments

These Canadian-dollar prices were checked on October 18, 2026. Prices and promotions can change, so review the checkout total, applicable taxes and subscription commitment before paying.

The TSN Premium and combined bundle prices come from Crave’s subscription page. Bell also lists Crave’s standalone price. Crave explains that its live CTV channel carries events shown on that feed. Buying Crave alone therefore does not mean you have also bought TSN Premium or RDS.

DAZN’s Canadian pricing separates Monthly Flex from annual instalments. Its Canadian offering includes NFL Game Pass, also identified in the NFL’s Canadian viewing guide, so do not substitute a separately priced international Game Pass product when comparing costs. DAZN also states a 30-day cancellation notice for its monthly plan. Confirm the available audio for your chosen game if French commentary matters to you.

NFL 2026 schedule: remaining season and playoff dates

The NFL’s season calendar provides these dates for planning the rest of your football season. Dates remain subject to change.

Add the dates you care about to your calendar, then revisit the broadcaster’s listings before each game. Check your local time zone and the specific Canadian channel. A date on the league calendar does not, by itself, confirm where that matchup will appear in your TV package.

Super Bowl LXI (2027) in Canada: Date, Venue and Broadcasters

The NFL schedules Super Bowl LXI for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. For English-speaking Canadian viewers, Bell identifies TSN, CTV and Crave for the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027.

The NFL identifies RDS as the French Super Bowl broadcaster. As of October 18, we have not confirmed a detailed RDS announcement covering its Super Bowl LXI pregame show or broadcast start time. Check RDS’s schedule closer to February 14. If you are organizing a French-language viewing evening, wait for those details before planning around the pregame coverage.

Prepare your TV for NFL in English or French

Choose a specific game for your first test. A quick check on a quiet weekday afternoon tells you less about your football evening than watching live play on your usual device and connection. Use the smart TV, Fire Stick or other device you intend to keep using.

1. Prepare the app before game night. Check that you can sign in and find the intended channel. Keep your account details handy without sharing them in a group chat.
2. Listen to the commentary. Confirm the language and sound on your TV, especially when using a soundbar. Do not rely only on the programme title in the guide.
3. Watch movement on screen. Follow the ball, camera pans and scoreboard text. Adjust the picture to suit your screen and viewing preferences.
4. Check your connection. If playback stops, note the time, device and channel. Change one thing at a time so you can tell which adjustment helps.

Our IPTV setup guide for Fire TV and Fire Stick walks through preparing that device. If you encounter interruptions, follow the steps in our IPTV buffering troubleshooting guide. Complete these checks before inviting friends over or settling in for an important game.
