What
to expect
If you want the most complete coverage, TSN is the safest bet
because it carries the full tournament in Canada. If you just want a few
marquee matches, CTV or Crave may be enough depending on the schedule. Some
guides also mention promotional bundles and limited free access, but
availability can change, so the exact offer depends on the current broadcaster
packages.
Bottom line
For Canadians, the straightforward answer is: **TSN
first, CTV/Crave for select games, and RDS for French-language coverage**.
