How to Watch Sportsnet Without Cable in Canada (2026)

Sportsnet is Rogers’ flagship sports network and, since 2014, the exclusive national home of NHL hockey in Canada — including Saturday night Hockey Night in Canada coverage. It’s also the only place to watch the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors. For years, getting Sportsnet meant paying for a Rogers or regional cable bundle. In 2026, there are real alternatives that don’t require a cable subscription at all.

What Sportsnet Broadcasts

Sportsnet operates a national feed plus regional channels (Sportsnet Ontario, Sportsnet East, Sportsnet West, Sportsnet Pacific) along with Sportsnet One and Sportsnet 360.

• NHL — National rights: Sportsnet holds the exclusive national NHL broadcast rights in Canada, including Saturday night Hockey Night in Canada and national playoff windows.
• NHL — Regional coverage: Regional Sportsnet feeds carry the bulk of regular-season games for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks.
• Toronto Blue Jays: Sportsnet is the exclusive home of Blue Jays baseball, broadcasting nearly every regular-season game.
• Toronto Raptors: Sportsnet carries the majority of Raptors NBA games throughout the season.
• Sportsnet 360 and Sportsnet One: Additional live sports, highlight shows, and expanded coverage during busy scheduling periods.

Because Sportsnet holds exclusive national NHL rights, it’s effectively required viewing for hockey fans in Canada regardless of which team they follow — which is exactly why it’s traditionally locked behind premium cable tiers.

Option 1 — Sportsnet+ (Standalone App)

Rogers offers Sportsnet+ as a standalone streaming subscription that does not require a cable package.

• Price: Approximately $12.99 per month, or a discounted annual rate.
• What’s included: Live streaming of Sportsnet's national and regional NHL coverage, Blue Jays games, Raptors games, and more.
• Device support: Works on iOS, Android, Apple TV, and most Smart TVs and streaming boxes.
• Limitation: Sportsnet+ only includes Sportsnet. TSN, RDS, and TVA Sports all require separate subscriptions.
• Best for: Viewers who only follow NHL, Blue Jays, or Raptors and don’t need other Canadian sports networks.

Option 2 — IPTV (Sportsnet Plus Everything Else, Lowest Cost)

For fans who want Sportsnet alongside TSN, RDS, TVA Sports, and hundreds of other channels without paying for multiple standalone apps, IPTV is the most practical option in Canada.

TiviLeaf includes the complete Canadian sports package in a single plan:

• Sportsnet, Sportsnet One, Sportsnet 360 — national and regional NHL, Blue Jays, and Raptors coverage
• TSN, TSN2–5 — World Juniors, CFL, and Formula 1
• RDS, RDS2, RDS Info, TVA Sports — French-language sports
• CTV, CBC, and hundreds of additional Canadian and international channels

All of this starts at $9 CAD/month — less than Sportsnet+ alone, with no contract and no equipment fees. A 7-day replay feature means a missed Blue Jays game or Saturday night hockey broadcast isn’t gone for good.
