CTV, TSN, TSN2, and Bell Media Radio deliver end-to-end coverage of the 2024-13 NFL season, as the networks today confirmed their unmatchable NFL schedule.
With the very best match-ups the league has to offer, CTV, TSN, TSN2, and Bell Media Radio together boast the biggest – and most prestigious – NFL schedule in Canada featuring exclusive Canadian coverage of the Sunday early-afternoon game package (1 p.m. ET), Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, every NFL playoff game, and the coveted Super Bowl.
TSN2 complements CTV’s package of early-afternoon match-ups on Sunday with a marquee national game – giving viewers in most Canadian markets a choice between two different games on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET during the NFL season. In addition to the Sunday Night and Monday Night Football packages, TSN has exclusive Canadian coverage of the NFL Draft, extensive NFL coverage on Sportscentre, and full coverage of the league online at TSN.ca.
On CTV and TSN2, the new NFL season kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. ET with a full slate of marquee match-ups. CTV and TSN2 will announce their remaining schedules of NFL games on a week-by-week basis. All regular season NFL match-ups on CTV will be immediately followed by a special post-game edition of Sportscentre with anchor Jay Onrait.
CTV’s coverage of the 2024-13 NFL season culminates with all playoff games and the Super Bowl – the single most-watched sporting event in North America. Last year, Super Bowl XLVI was the most-watched NFL championship game ever on Canadian television with an average audience of 8.18 million viewers tuning in to watch the NY Giants defeat the New England Patriots on CTV and RDS.
