What NHL hockey airs on TSN?

TSN owns regional broadcast rights to a package of Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadiens games.

 

How do I watch a Jets/Leafs/Sens/Habs game?

  • Regional Winnipeg Jets games are available on TSN3. Fans must live in the Jets’ designated broadcast region as defined by the NHL, which includes Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and parts of Northwestern Ontario, including Kenora, Dryden, and Thunder Bay.
  • Regional Toronto Maple Leafs games are available on TSN4. Fans must live in the Leafs’ designated broadcast region as defined by the NHL, which includes Ontario (excluding the Ottawa Valley region).
  • Regional Ottawa Senators games are available on TSN5. Fans must live in the Sens’ designated broadcast region as defined by the NHL, which includes Eastern Ontario, Québec, and Atlantic Canada.
  • Montreal Canadiens games are available on TSN2. Fans must live in the Habs’ designated broadcast region as defined by the NHL, which includes Québec and Atlantic Canada.

 

Why is the Jets/Leafs/Sens/Habs game blacked out on TSN in my area?

As TSN owns regional broadcast rights to a package of Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadiens games, we broadcast games in the teams’ respective broadcast regions as determined by the NHL.

If you are receiving a blackout message during a Jets/Leafs/Sens/Habs game on TSN, then you live outside the teams’ respective territory, as defined by the NHL.

For more information about blackouts during NHL games, please contact the NHL. If you are located within a team’s respective territory, access TSN through your TV provider, and are still receiving a blackout message, please contact your cable or satellite provider for more information. If you are located within a team’s respective territory, access TSN through a subscription purchased directly from TSN, and are still receiving a blackout message, please contact us at 1-833-TSN-HELP (1-833-876-4357), or by email at help@tsn.ca.

 

How do I obtain a copy of a program or event that I saw on TSN?

Due to broadcast rights restrictions, TSN and its networks and affiliates cannot make or sell DVD or digital copies of programs which air on the network. The same broadcast rights restrictions prevent TSN and its networks and affiliates from emailing or distributing video clips to individuals.

Which of TSN’s feeds is the main one?

All our feeds are equal. If you don't have a digital receiver but use a participating television service provider, you will receive a primary TSN feed based on where you live in Canada:

  • TSN1: Primary feed for British Columbia, Alberta, and Yukon
  • TSN3: Primary feed for Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and parts of Northern Ontario
  • TSN4: Primary feed for Ontario, excluding Ottawa
  • TSN5: Primary feed for Ottawa, parts of Southeastern Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador

 

Why does each province, territory, and certain regions, have a primary feed?

All five TSN feeds are available nationwide. However, among the feeds, one will be designated as the primary feed for each region to allow for the distribution of regionally relevant content on the primary TSN channel location.

 

Does my television provider offer TSN1, TSN2, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5?

TSN works closely with all television service providers to ensure as many subscribers as possible have access to our feeds. Please check with your local TV provider about availability.

 

I don’t live in Canada, can I subscribe to TSN?

No, TSN is not available outside of Canada.

 

I live in Canada, but I am going out of the country. Can I still watch TSN online?

No, as TSN is only available in Canada.

 

Can I watch programs on TSN in different languages?

TSN programming is only available in English. For French-language programming, visit RDS.ca.

 

Can I watch programs on TSN with closed-captioning?
