IPTV Channels in Canada — What You Get, and How to Check Before You Buy

The named Canadian, Québécois, sports and international channels our Canadian IPTV service carries, grouped so you can find what matters to you. If one particular channel is the reason you are buying, ask us to confirm it first — we would rather tell you than have you find out afterwards.

The short answer

Our IPTV channel list for Canada covers Canadian national networks, Canadian sports networks, French-language and Québécois television, news, entertainment, kids' programming, international channels and multicultural packs, plus a large on-demand library of films and series.

Two servers are available and they are not the same size. Regular carries 30,000+ live channels and 160,000+ movies and series. VIP carries 45,000+ live channels and 300,000+ movies and series. Those are the only two channel totals on this page, and they are the only two we publish anywhere.

Read this before you buy

Everything named below is part of our lineup, but channel availability changes — lineups are added to, reorganised and occasionally dropped, and not every channel is carried identically on both servers. We do not publish a downloadable full list, because a list like that is out of date within weeks and would mislead you.

If a specific channel is essential to you, contact us to confirm it is currently available before you purchase. It takes a minute and it is the only honest way to answer that question.

Canadian channels

The national networks most Canadian households start from, plus the sports networks that usually decide whether an IPTV service is worth having here.

National networks

The regional Sportsnet feeds matter more than people expect. Which feed you watch determines which teams you see in a given window, so having East, West, Ontario and Pacific available is what makes a national service usable from anywhere in the country.

Live sports

Sport is the reason most Canadians look at IPTV in the first place, so here is what the lineup covers — stated as what is carried, not as a promise about any particular fixture.

What we will not tell you

We will not claim you get every game, or that nothing is ever blacked out. Rights windows, regional restrictions and schedule changes are real, they are outside our control, and any provider promising you otherwise is selling you something. If a specific competition or team is the reason you are subscribing, ask us before you buy.

French-language and Québécois channels

This is the part of the lineup most English-language IPTV services treat as an afterthought. Ours carries Québec television properly, grouped here the way a Québec household actually thinks about it.

Support is available in French as well as English, and we maintain a full French-language page for Québec: IPTV Québec — abonnement IPTV en français.

International and multicultural channels

Beyond Canadian television, the lineup carries channels from the United States, the United Kingdom and France, alongside wider international and European content. Rather than publish a country count we cannot stand behind, here are the multicultural packs we carry by name:

PunjabiHindiTamilArabicPortugueseItalian

These are the packs we can name with confidence. If you are looking for a language or a regional broadcaster not listed here, that is exactly the kind of question worth asking us before you subscribe rather than after.

News, entertainment and kids' programming

These categories are where most providers start inventing, so here is exactly where we stand on each.

Why the right-hand column is vaguer than the left

Because it has to be. The left column lists channels we have verified and will put our name to. The right acknowledges that the lineup runs far wider without naming channels we have not confirmed — you will find plenty of providers happy to list fifty network names they have never checked, and a specific name you can trust is worth more than a long list you cannot. If a channel you want is not on the left, ask us and we will check it.

Movies and series on demand

Alongside live channels, both servers include an on-demand library — films and series you start whenever you want rather than catching at a scheduled time.

The libraries differ in size: 160,000+ titles on the Regular server and 300,000+ on VIP. On the VIP server, requests for specific films and series are accepted; on Regular they are not. That request feature applies to on-demand titles only — it is not a way to have a live channel added.

Regular or VIP — what actually differs

Only the differences we can state with confidence. Where a row is not listed here, assume it is the same on both.

Because the two servers carry different lineups, a channel named on this page is not automatically present on both. If a particular channel decides your purchase, tell us which server you are considering when you ask and we will check that one.

For what each plan costs and how long you can subscribe for, see our IPTV subscription plans.

Check a channel before you commit

Send us the channel name and the server you are considering. We will tell you whether it is currently available — a straight answer either way.

How to check whether we carry a specific channel

Two ways, and we would rather you used one of them than took a list on trust.

1. Ask us to confirm it

Message us with the channel name and which server you are looking at — Regular or VIP — and we will confirm whether it is currently available. Support is available in English and French. This is an availability check: it tells you what the lineup carries today, and it is not a request to have a channel added.

2. See it yourself on a free trial

The trial gives you the actual lineup on the actual server, so you can search for your channel in the app and look at it with your own eyes. Trials run 36 hours on the Regular server and 24 hours on VIP, one device, no card required. Adult content is not included in a trial.

If you are not sure which app to use while you are looking, our guide to choosing an IPTV app and our setup hub will get you watching in a few minutes.

Why we do not publish a full downloadable list

Because it would be wrong within weeks. Lineups shift constantly, and a static file of tens of thousands of channel names goes stale faster than anyone can maintain it. A list that is 90% right is worse than no list, because the 10% is exactly what someone was counting on. Named examples plus a live check is the honest version.

Channel questions Canadians ask

What channels can you get with IPTV in Canada?

Canadian national networks such as CBC, CTV, Global and Citytv; Canadian sports networks including TSN and the regional Sportsnet feeds; French-language and Québécois television including RDS, TVA, ICI Télé and Noovo; news, entertainment and kids' channels; international channels; and multicultural packs in Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil, Arabic, Portuguese and Italian. On-demand films and series come alongside the live channels.

How many channels do you get?

30,000+ live channels on the Regular server and 45,000+ on VIP, plus 160,000+ and 300,000+ on-demand titles respectively. We do not publish category-by-category counts, because we would not be able to stand behind them.

Do you have TSN and Sportsnet?

Yes — TSN 1 through 5, and the Sportsnet East, West, Ontario, Pacific, One and 360 feeds. Because lineups change and the two servers differ, confirm with us which server carries what you need before you buy if sport is your main reason for subscribing.

Are Québec and French channels included?

Yes, and properly rather than as a token handful — RDS and TVA Sports for sport, LCN and ICI RDI for news, TVA, ICI Télé, Noovo and Télé-Québec as general networks, plus lifestyle, drama, kids' and international French channels. Our French-language page covers this in full.

Can I request a channel to be added?

No. We can confirm whether a channel is currently available, but we cannot undertake to add one on request. On the VIP server, requests for specific films and series in the on-demand library are accepted — that is a different feature and does not extend to live channels.

Is every channel on this page available on both servers?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Regular and VIP carry different lineups. Tell us which server you are considering and we will check that one specifically.

Where can I find a free list of IPTV channels?

Free M3U lists circulate online, and they are generally unreliable, frequently broken and of unclear origin. We do not publish or recommend one. What we offer instead is a free trial on the server you are considering, so you can look at the real lineup yourself.

Do the channels come with a TV guide?

Programme information depends on the app you use rather than on us — most of the players we support display an on-screen guide when your subscription provides it. Our apps guide explains which players handle this well.

Are adult channels included?

They are an optional extra on paid plans on both servers, and they are not included in a free trial.

What if a channel I need disappears later?

Lineups change, and no provider can guarantee a specific channel indefinitely. If something you rely on stops appearing, contact us — we will tell you what the current position is rather than leave you guessing. Paid plans carry a 7-day refund window.
