Montréal is one of the most sports-passionate cities in Canada. The Canadiens alone make it one of the loudest hockey markets in the world. PlayMaxTV covers every team, in both French and English.
The Canadiens are the most storied franchise in NHL history — 24 Stanley Cup championships, iconic players, and the most devoted fanbase in hockey. Les matchs des Canadiens are broadcast on TVA Sports and RDS in French, and on TSN and Sportsnet in English. PlayMaxTV carries all four feeds — you choose your language.
Follow all Habs news, pre-game analysis, and game recaps on the Canadiens de Montréal official YouTube channel (content in both French and English), then watch the live game on PlayMaxTV.
The NHL Network YouTube channel also posts daily highlights, game-day analysis, and trade deadline coverage relevant to Habs fans.
CF Montréal has grown into one of MLS's most respected clubs. Matches air on TVA Sports and TSN, both included in PlayMaxTV. The MLS Season Pass on Apple TV+ carries additional games — a separate subscription not included in PlayMaxTV, but all TVA Sports and TSN broadcasts are covered.
Watch match previews and post-game reaction on the CF Montréal official YouTube channel.
