Anyone Can Watch the Super Bowl In Canada – Here’s How to Tune In Online

By

I’m excited to watch Super Bowl LVIII, where the San Francisco 49ers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on February 11, 2024.

In a hurry? You can watch the Super Bowl and the rest of the NFL playoffs and regular season by signing up with DAZN. For CA$29.99/mo, you’ll also get a ton of other sporting events. No free trial, but a great deal (CA$199.99/yr — CA$16.67/mo) on yearly subscriptions.

The Super Bowl is popular in the Great White North. Its television ratings usually surpass all NHL games, including the Stanley Cup Finals.

The last time that a hockey game had higher ratings than the Super Bowl was when the Canadian men’s ice hockey national team played Sweden for the gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

How can a Canadian watch Super Bowl 58? This can be done by tuning into either CTV or TSN for English-language commentary, or RDS for French-language commentary.

The game, which takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, will also be streamed by DAZN. All NFL games throughout the season can be viewed with a DAZN subscription.

Super Bowl in Canada

The Super Bowl is so popular in the North that most years, it is the country’s most-watched show. It generally receives around 9 million viewers – not counting streamers.

Over the last 10 years, Super Bowl broadcasts are responsible for the top three spots in terms of viewership: in 2015, 2020, and 2021.

Those facts also mean that the American Big Game receives higher ratings than the Grey Cup, which features Canadian Football League teams and is played north of the border.

How To Watch the Super Bowl on Canadian Television

The National Football League Championship receives significant coverage in Canada as it is simultaneously televised on both CTV and TSN as well as on RDS, the French-language channel that is aimed at les Québécois.

Note that several US-based channels that are situated near the border may be watched in Canada as well. For example, CBS is broadcasting Super Bowl LVIII, meaning that any CBS affiliates that are available in Canada can be utilized to watch the game.

However, Canadian-based American football fans should note that simultaneous substitution is expected to take place for almost all broadcasts available in Canada, resulting in Canada-focused advertisements replacing famous US-produced ones that are airing south of the border. The only exceptions expected would be when viewers use over-the-air means to watch a US-oriented broadcast. (But hey, there’s always YouTube.)

Stream Super Bowl LVIII in Canada

If you are looking to enjoy cordless access to Super Bowl 2024, all you need to do is subscribe to DAZN for a month, which costs CA$29.99/mo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which NFL games can I watch on CTV?

Bell Media’s CTV is the official over-the-air home of the NFL in Canada. It airs all the Sunday afternoon games, which in the US are broadcast on CBS (if the away team is a member of the AFC) or Fox (if the away team is in the NFC). It also covers all the postseason matchups up to and including the Super Bowl.

Which NFL games are broadcast on TSN?

TSN is co-owned by CTV and provides all the prime-time games. This includes Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, and Monday Night Football. In the US, these games appear on Amazon Prime Video, NBC, and ESPN, respectively.

TSN will also be airing full Super Bowl Sunday coverage, along with CTV, as well as streaming it on the TSN.ca website and the TSN app (be prepared to log in with your TSN account).

Which NFL games can I watch en Français on RDS?

RDS, as the only French-language NFL provider, carries NFL games. You can watch all the prime-time games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday evenings. You can also catch every NFL Playoff contest, leading up to and including the Super Bowl.

David Arsenault supplies all French play-by-play commentary for the NFL and CFL, with color commentary by Pierre Vercheval, Bruno Heppell, and Matthieu Proulx.

Have any Super Bowl channels or TV providers changed in Canada since last year?

No. CTV, TSN, RDS, and DAZN have all been providing NFL for several years, with DAZN joining the party most recently in 2017.

Whatever channel or live TV streaming service you tuned into last year on Sunday, February 12, to watch the Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium, you can assume that it will be covering LVIII this year.

What’s the halftime show this year?

The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show will feature eight-time Grammy award winner Usher. This will mark the second year Apple Music sponsors the show, having taken over from Pepsi who previously hosted for a decade. There’s no word on whether Usher will be bringing any friends along (like, say, Alicia Keyes), but it’s always one of the most hotly anticipated events on television schedules.

Last year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner was Rihanna, who broke records to become the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show ever.

I’m traveling to the US from Canada — how do I watch the Super Bowl in the States?

Several excellent streaming services include CBS, the channel the Super Bowl is airing on in the States. Our favorite is Fubo, but you can also stream the game alone on Paramount+ for a cheaper price.

Other services include Hulu Live, DIRECTV STREAM, and YouTube TV. None of them have contracts, so you can subscribe for a month just to watch the Super Bowl and then cancel. You can get more information on our main Super Bowl page.

The following guides provide details on watching all the NFL playoff games:
