Citytv+
Verified sports broadcast rights, direct live channels, and cord-cutting subscription review.
Expert Review & Verdict
Stream2Watch Sports Editorial Desk • Audited October 2026
The Verdict
Our Verdict: Citytv+ is a solid, straightforward streaming service for Canadians who want local broadcast television and popular cable networks without a traditional satellite or cable subscription. At $9.99 a month, it offers decent value, especially with the inclusion of live local news and simulcasts of major events like select Toronto Blue Jays games. However, it is not a replacement for a full live TV streaming service. The on-demand library, while featuring recognizable brands like HGTV and Food Network, is heavily curated and lacks the depth of global giants like Netflix. The app interface is functional but can feel a bit clunky, and navigation between live TV and on-demand content is not always seamless. If you are a die-hard Blue Jays fan, the bundle with Sportsnet+ is the real prize. For everyone else, it is a decent supplementary app, but not a primary entertainment hub.

In-Depth Platform Analysis & Coverage
Citytv+ represents Rogers Sports & Media’s push into the direct-to-consumer streaming market. By unbundling its content from traditional cable packages, it offers a legitimate way for cord-cutters to access local Citytv broadcasts, original Canadian programming, and popular lifestyle and drama series from affiliated networks. The inclusion of live local news is a major draw for viewers who want to stay connected to their specific city without paying for a full cable tier.
The service also occasionally serves as a streaming home for major sporting events, most notably simulcasting select Toronto Blue Jays games and special events like the King's Plate. However, the sports coverage is limited compared to its sibling service, Sportsnet+.
The drawbacks are primarily related to content depth and user experience. The on-demand catalog is frequently rotated, meaning a show you start watching might disappear before you finish it. The app’s search functionality is basic, and the electronic program guide (EPG) for live channels can be slow to load on older smart TVs. Furthermore, strict geo-blocking ensures that Canadians traveling abroad will lose access to the service entirely. It is a competent, budget-friendly option for local content, but it requires patience with its technical quirks.
