National Football League on Canadian television As of the 2012 NFL season , CTV and TSN2 broadcast Sunday 1 p . m . Eastern games . TSN broadcasts " Sunday Night Football " and " Monday Night Football " . Sportsnet and Citytv own rights to Sunday 4 p . m . Eastern games . Sportsnet also broadcasts " Thursday Night Football " . RDS carries games in the French language from all timeslot . U . S . network television feeds may also be available , often from multiple markets , on cable and satellite ( and via terrestrial broadcast in the border lands ) ; all games are subject to simultaneous substitution . Network overview . Citytv . Craig Media ( including the now - Citytv stations in Winnipeg and Alberta ) owned the rights to " Monday Night Football " in the early 2000s , and these rights moved to Citytv for " MNF " ' s final season on ABC in 2005 , before being moving again to TSN in 2006 . With the sale to Rogers , Citytv Vancouver carried 4 : 00 p . m . ET games during the 2007 season ( as did OMNI . 2 in Toronto ) , under sublicence from Rogers Sportsnet . For the 2008 season , all Citytv stations now carry 4 : 00 games . Sportsnet carries a different game than the game broadcast by Citytv . Citytv Toronto also airs selected Buffalo Bills preseason games ( including those held at the Rogers Centre ) . CTV Television Network . On May 22 , 2007 , it was announced that CTV had acquired the broadcast rights to the National Football League early - afternoon Sunday games , the full NFL playoffs , and the Super Bowl , effective the 2007 NFL season . This ended a lengthy association between the NFL and Global Television Network . TSN , a sports channel which CTV owns , airs prime - time NFL games and produces the CTV broadcasts in tandem with CBS and Fox . Global Television Network . Aside from its brief experiment with soccer , the Global network has never had an in - house sports production division as do CBC and CTV / TSN . Network sports broadcasts are either simulcast with American networks or outsourced to independent producers such as Molstar . Global was the longtime broadcaster of National Football League football games in Canada , an association that ended in 2007 when CTV outbid Global for the NFL broadcast package . The Sports Network . TSN airs ESPN original programming , including " Sunday NFL Countdown " and " Monday Night Football " . In addition to " Monday Night Football " , TSN broadcasts " NBC Sunday Night Football " and the NFL Network ' s package . Beginning in 2007 , it produces a Sunday afternoon telecast for CTV , although the feed is taken from CBS or Fox . 2007 New England Patriots - New York Giants game . In Canada , the established sports channel TSN held the rights to the game , as it did for all NFL Network regular - season games . After the NBC / CBS simulcast was announced , TSN ' s parent broadcast network CTV announced it too would carry the game , allowing CTV simultaneous substitution rights over U . S . stations broadcasting the game . This meant that , in areas of eastern Canada receiving their " big three " network affiliates from Boston , the CTV signal was seen on four different basic - cable channels , in addition to TSN ' s broadcast ( which only differed from CTV in terms of network identification and some commercials ) . Réseau des sports . Because very few sporting events broadcast by RDS are carried by any other French - language broadcaster , exact simulcast s of other broadcasters on RDS are extremely rare . However , for most events occurring either outside Quebec or not involving Quebec - based teams , RDS will rely on the applicable English - language broadcaster ( Canadian or American ) for the video feed , including any graphics or game updates in the original feed . The visuals are then " dubbed " live - to - air with commentators in the RDS studios , who call the game off monitors instead of being on - site . The commentary is not a translation of the English language audio , although the background audio typically remains intact , and relevant information from the English commentary ( e . g . injury reports , or explanations of onscreen graphics ) may or may not be relayed by the RDS announcers . Interviews aired during the broadcast are undubbed , though announcers will translate what is said after the interview ends . Also , RDS will air Budweiser advertising in English during the Super Bowl before the Super Bowl halftime show . The video is usually delayed by several seconds from the originating feed , in order to ensure that irrelevant information ( e . g . U . S . network promos ) are deleted from the RDS broadcast . Sportsnet . For the 2005 season , Sportsnet began airing NFL football , splitting late games across the Pacific and West feeds , and the East and Ontario feeds . The games not shown in the opposite regions are also carried by Rogers - owned Citytv stations in Toronto , Vancouver , Calgary , Edmonton and Vancouver . Sportsnet has also broadcast Thursday Night Football since 2009 . NFL Sunday Ticket . In Canada , NFL Sunday Ticket has been made available on a non - exclusive basis to the following satellite and cable providers : The lack of exclusivity for any provider is due to Canadian Radio - television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) regulations .
