The main Canadian streaming services, one by one
Netflix, Crave, Disney+ and Apple TV are subscription video on demand services (SVOD): you pay a monthly fee and watch from a library whenever you like. Live TV is a separate category, covered further down.
Netflix
Netflix has three plans in Canada: Standard with Ads at $7.99, Standard at $18.99 and Premium at $23.99. Only Premium includes 4K and four screens at once. It is the biggest library for original series and films, but it has no live TV and no sports beyond occasional special events.
Crave
Crave is the home of HBO series in Canada, plus Canadian originals and movies. Standard with Ads costs $11.99 a month, and Premium (ad-free, 4K, four screens, downloads) costs $22.00. Crave often runs short promotions for new subscribers, so check the offer before paying full price.
Disney+
Disney+ costs $8.99 with ads, $15.99 for Standard ad-free and $16.99 for Premium ad-free after the price increase of November 2025. It is the strongest choice for families with kids and fans of Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar.
Prime Video
Prime Video comes with an Amazon Prime membership at $9.99 a month or $99 a year, which also covers shipping. Shows include ads unless you pay extra to remove them. You can also add paid channels inside Prime Video, such as STACKTV and Crave.
Apple TV
Apple TV (formerly Apple TV+) is $14.99 a month in Canada with no ad plan. The library is smaller than Netflix, but it is known for high quality original series.
Paramount+
Paramount+ starts at $7.99 with ads, with ad-free plans at $11.99 and $15.99. It carries CBS and Paramount series and films.
STACKTV
STACKTV adds live and on-demand cable channels inside Prime Video Channels for $14.99 a month. You need an Amazon Prime membership first, so the real cost is about $25 a month.
Free options
CBC Gem has a free tier with ads for Canadian shows and news, and apps like Tubi and Pluto TV are supported by ads. They are a good extra, but the libraries are limited compared with paid services.
Streaming live sports in Canada
Sports is where streaming gets expensive. Live games are split between several services:
- TSN: $29.99 a month or $249.99 a year for live TSN channels and events.
- Sportsnet+: Standard at $34.99 a month or $269.99 a year, Premium at $44.99 a month or $344.99 a year. Premium adds more national hockey games.
- DAZN: a separate subscription for other sports and events. Check the current Canadian price on DAZN’s site, as plans changed several times in 2026.
A fan who wants hockey, baseball and soccer often ends up paying for two or three of these on top of the movie and series apps.
What it costs to stack streaming services
Here is a common Canadian setup, priced at regular monthly rates:
| Service | Monthly price |
|---|---|
| Netflix Standard | $18.99 |
| Crave Premium | $22.00 |
| Disney+ Standard | $15.99 |
| Amazon Prime | $9.99 |
| Sportsnet+ Standard | $34.99 |
| Total | $101.96 a month, or $1,223.52 a year, before tax |
That is more than many cable packages, spread across five apps, five bills and five renewal dates.
Which is the best streaming service in Canada for you?
There is no single best streaming service in Canada. It depends on what you watch:
- Movies and series: Netflix for the biggest library, Crave if you want HBO.
- Kids and families: Disney+.
- Best value add-on: Prime Video, since it comes with Amazon Prime.
- Canadian content: Crave and CBC Gem.
- Live sports: TSN or Sportsnet+, depending on your teams.
- Lowest cost: pick one service with ads and rotate it every few months.
Streaming services vs IPTV: one subscription instead of five
Streaming apps each give you one library. IPTV is a different way to watch: live TV channels and on-demand movies and series delivered over your internet connection, in one app, on the devices you already own.
With IPTV Family, one subscription includes:
- 25,000+ live channels across sports, news, kids and international categories
- 120,000+ movies and series on demand
- 4K on supported content, a TV guide (EPG) and catch-up
- 1 to 5 screens at the same time, on Fire TV, Android TV, smart TVs, Apple TV, phones and computers
- One payment in CAD, no automatic renewal

How to save money on streaming in Canada
- Rotate services. Subscribe to one app for a month, watch what you want, cancel, then move to the next.
- Choose ad plans. Plans with ads cost about half the ad-free price on Netflix and Crave.
- Pay yearly for what you keep. Annual plans on TSN, Sportsnet+ and Amazon Prime cost less than twelve monthly payments.

- Set renewal reminders. Most services renew automatically. Put the date in your calendar so you only pay for what you use.
