How do I watch Super Bowl 2022 Canada?

While we’re still waiting on official word whether regular Canadian Super Bowl broadcasters CTV and TSN will air the game, so far the only confirmed platform to watch Super Bowl LVI in Canada is the streaming service DAZN. A subscription will run you $20 (Canadian), but with that, you get access to everything from NFL and MLB to tons of European soccer, tennis, basketball, and more. You can also cancel it anytime.

DAZN (pronounced Da-Zone, if you can believe it) is widely available on most platforms, including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, phones and tablets, web browsers, and game consoles.

When and if it is confirmed, TSN, CTV, and CTV2, “Canada’s home for football on television,” which have been carrying all the divisional playoff games, will likely make the game available through their platforms, including broadcast and digital sources such as TSN.ca, RDS.ca, the TSN app, and the RDS app, as well as subscribers to NFL RedZone.

How to tune up your TV for the game

Whether you’re using that nice new OLED you got for Christmas to watch Super Bowl LVI, or you’re using the game as an excuse to shop for a new one, you’re going to want to make sure you have the picture settings tweaked to make the most of it. To help you out, we’ve put together a guide on how best to set up your TV for the game that covers presets and even specific brightness and contrast settings you can use. And while the game isn’t being broadcast in 4K this year, rest assured most modern TVs will upscale the picture for a primo experience.

Happy viewing and enjoy the game!

When the sports world convenes on Las Vegas on February 11, 2024, there will be two events happening simultaneously. There's Super Bowl LVIII, with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the San Francisco 49s. And there's the probable appearance of Taylor Swift.

Whether you're in Las Vegas for the game (lucky you) or you do what most of us do and watch Super Bowl 2024 from home, the annual title game is a huge event, with each being bigger than the last.

Success of AFC Championship on Paramount+ bodes well for Super Bowl

The numbers are in, and CBS Sports says that Sunday's AFC Championship game (think of it as the NFL's semifinals) is the "most-streamed live event ever" on Paramount+.

That's obviously a good thing for everyone involved, but even more so given that Super Bowl 2024 will be available on Paramount+ on February 11. That's in addition to the usual CBS broadcast feeds, which include streaming on YouTube TV or Hulu with Live TV, or on cable, or even watching for free via an over-the-air antenna. The Paramount+ numbers saw double-digit growth over the 2023 matchup, according to a press release, including in the streaming minutes and average minute audience categories. (Actual numbers weren't given, though.)
