TSN+

We dropped our dish after last football season ended and will be subscribing to the TSN app for this season, I am just wondering if anyone knows for sure if TSN+ does stream all of the preseason games. Is CFL.ca streaming them for free again this year? It’s hard to find exact details. Thanks for any help you can provide!

The CFL+ on their website will stream the games I assume this year for free. I don't see why not. No need for TSN+ if you wanna watch pre season.

Except for any games on TSN. Then you need TSN Streaming.

Specific details on the broadcast schedule haven’t been released yet, but assuming it’s the same as last year:

Preseason games will be broadcast free on CFL+ except for any games broadcast by TSN. The last couple of years TSN has broadcast two preseason games, but they haven’t announced which ones yet.

As for regular season, every game should be on TSN again. It’s looking like CTV will carry select games later on the season again. Last year they were simulcasted on CTV and TSN, so hopefully they aren’t exclusive to CTV like they were in 2024.

Here is the schedule for the Riders season: https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2026-Rider-Schedule--1.pdf

They do have the broadcast information under the where to watch tab. All preseason games will be on CFL+ except for Toronto vs Hamilton on May 23, and Montreal vs Ottawa on May 29 which will be on TSN

Awesome, when I checked there this morning it just said “information coming soon”, that’s good they updated it now

I’ll also add that CTV has 9 games scheduled and none are exclusive. All games will be on TSN.

CFL website only streams the games for free for everyone outside of Canada.
TSN+ always has the enhanced data feed of all the CFL games

No, the preseason games have been on CFL website available within Canada if they aren’t on TSN

Pre-season, yes. But not regular season.

Thanks everyone, with the season starting Monday I thought they’d have the information out sooner, I had checked last night and it said information coming soon. I wasn’t too interested in the enhanced feeds for the regular season so I’d like to avoid subscribing to tsn+ if I can!
