Provider Overview
CFL+ is the official, free digital streaming platform of the Canadian Football League (CFL), specifically designed to cater to the league's global fanbase. For the 2026 season, CFL+ broadcasts all 81 regular-season games, the entire postseason, and the historic 113th Grey Cup in Winnipeg. Under the current rights agreement, the service is completely free to access for viewers outside of North America. For fans residing in the United States, CFL+ serves as a vital co-broadcaster alongside CBS Sports Network, carrying all regular-season fixtures that are not selected for national TV broadcast on CBS. Canadian viewers, however, are entirely blocked from streaming live games on the platform, as Bell Media retains exclusive domestic rights through TSN and RDS.
From a technical perspective, CFL+ offers a clean, user-friendly interface streaming at 1080p resolution at 60fps. One of the most convenient features for international fans in varying time zones is the 48-hour on-demand DVR playback window, allowing users to watch full replays of games at their convenience before they are archived. Because the platform employs strict location checks, users in the US and Canada who are traveling or seek to bypass local blackout restrictions frequently rely on high-speed VPN services, routing their connection to European or Latin American servers to unlock the free feed.
Note that the 2026 season represents the final chapter of the platform in its current iteration. The CFL has announced a new multi-year media rights deal starting in 2027, where DAZN will take over exclusive international streaming rights outside of the US and Canada, making this the final season to enjoy 100% free international access directly from the league.
