Streaming TV in Canada: the options compared
Crave, CBC Gem, TSN+, Fubo Canada and more: how Canadians build a TV lineup without cable.

Canadian streaming looks different from the US. Many American live TV bundles aren't available, and rights to US shows are often held by Canadian broadcasters.
CBC Gem offers free live and on-demand CBC content, with a paid tier that removes ads. Crave carries HBO, Showtime and other premium content.
For sports, TSN+ and Sportsnet's streaming service split NHL, NBA, NFL and soccer coverage, while Fubo Canada carries certain soccer and international sports.
Over-the-air antennas pick up CBC, CTV, Global and other local stations for free in most cities.
Our Canada-specific reviews note which services require a Canadian billing address.
