How to watch Euro 2020 in Canada

The international tournament can be watched via cable or streamed online

The long-awaited Euro 2020 finally kicks off today with Turkey facing off against Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Going into the tournament, the stacked France team, that includes Kylian Mbappé, N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann, led by Didier Deschamps is predicted to take home the trophy, while the reigning champs — Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal — are one of the fan favourites.

The 24-team tournament is usually hosted by a single country, but to commemorate the competition’s 60th anniversary, hosting duties were shared among several nations. This summer, Euro 2020 matches will be held in 11 different nations, namely, Azerbaijan, Denmark, England, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Russia, Scotland and Spain.

Two Canadian media outlets have been given the broadcast rights to the tournament, CTV and its sports specialty channel TSN and TVA.

CTV along with TSN will be broadcasting the games in English, while the Quebecor Media-owned TVA Sports will be broadcasting the showdown in French.

Here is an in-depth guide on how you can watch the Euro 2020 in Canada:

Cable

All Euro 2020 games will be available to watch on one of TSN’s five channels, with weekend games available on CTV and TSN. Most cable service providers, including Bell, Rogers and Shaw have these channels in their catalogue.

Similarly, if your cable provider is Vidéotron, Cogeco, or Telus, you should have access to TVA Sports for coverage of all games in French.

Online streaming (with cable)

If you have a cable connection that gives you access to the five TSN channels, you can use your cable credentials to log in to the TSN website and watch the games live. Additionally, the same can be done over TSN’s dedicated app.

TSN’s app is available on Android and iOS.

The same procedure follows for French broadcast. If your cable provides you with the TVA Sports channel, you can use your cable credentials to log into the TVA Sports website and mobile apps to live stream the battle of the nations.

TVA Sports’ app can be downloaded on Android here and iOS here.

You can also check if your cable provider has its own dedicated website or mobile app which gives you access to view all channels online. For example, Rogers cable customers can visit Rogers Anyplace TV to view the games on the go and Bell cable users can visit Fibe TV.

Online streaming (without cable)

UEFA EURO 2020 is also available on-demand through TSN Direct, which is the company’s online subscription program that gives you access to the TSN channels on the website and dedicated app.

The subscriptions are as follows:

  • Day Pass – Gives you access to TSN for 24 hours from the time of subscription. The day pass costs $7.99 + tax.
  • Month Pass – Gives you access to TSN for one month from the time of subscription. The month pass costs $19.99 + tax and is billed monthly until you cancel the subscription.

Similarly, if you want to watch the Euro 2020 on-demand in French, TVA Sports Direct should be your go-to. TVA’s subscription gives you access to live stream the games on the company’s website and dedicated app.
