Super Bowl in Canada

The Super Bowl is so popular in the North that most years, it is the most watched show. It generally geta 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, Fox is broadcasting Super Bowl LVII, meaning that any Fox 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!)

FAQ

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. It 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 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?

Nope. CTV, TSN, RDS, and DAZN have all been providing NFL for several years, with DAZN joining the party most recently in 2017. So whatever channel or live TV streaming service you tuned into last year on Sunday, February 13, to watch the Los Angeles Rams win Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium, you can assume that it will be covering LVII this year.

What’s the halftime show this year?

The Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show features international singer-songwriter superstar Rihanna. This year is the first time Apple Music is taking over sponsorship from Pepsi, who have had their name on the show for a decade. No word on whether RiRi is bringing any friends along (like, say, Jay-Z), but, as Rihanna’s first public appearance in five years, it’s one of the most hotly anticipated halftime events in recent memory.

Before the game, Grammy-award-winning singer Chris Stapleton will be performing the American national anthem. This is the second year a country music artist has gotten the pregame gig, with Mickey Guyton singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at LVI.

Last year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner was Dr. Dre, with special guests Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige.

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

There are several excellent streaming services that include Fox and/or Fox Sports 1, the channels the Super Bowl is airing on here in the States. Our favorite is FuboTV, but Sling TV‘s Sling Blue package gets the job done and is half the cost. Others 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.
