The NBA in Canada is anchored by one team, the Toronto Raptors, and one broadcaster, Sportsnet, with a tighter national-rights map than in the United States.
Sportsnet is the home of the Toronto Raptors. Every Raptors regular-season match airs on either Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE, Sportsnet 360, or the regional Sportsnet Ontario feed. Selected marquee Raptors fixtures simulcast on TSN. Sportsnet NOW is the streaming arm, $24.99 per month for the standard subscription or $249.99 per year.
TSN holds a national share of marquee non-Raptors NBA games, typically the Saturday and Sunday national broadcasts and a share of the Christmas Day slate. TSN+ streams the same content.
NBA TV Canada is the league-operated cable channel in Canada, carrying a national game most nights when no other broadcaster has it.
NBA League Pass Canada is the out-of-market option for fans whose team is not the Raptors and not on national broadcast. Subscription is $24.99 CAD per month or $199.99 CAD per year.
The Raptors play 82 regular-season games, 41 home, 41 away. Home games air on Sportsnet ONE and the regional Sportsnet Ontario feed. Away games air on Sportsnet 360 or Sportsnet One depending on the night’s competing inventory. Selected fixtures simulcast on TSN1 when both networks want the marquee Toronto matchup.
The NBA playoffs in Canada air across the same carriers as the regular season: Sportsnet for the Toronto Raptors when applicable, TSN and Sportsnet sharing the conference semifinals and finals. The NBA Finals air on TSN in English and RDS in French.
RDS is the French-language sister channel of TSN. RDS carries a French-language feed of the marquee national NBA broadcasts each week, plus the playoffs.
