It's Not Rocket Surgery, But It's Almost Football Season: Your Guide to NFL on CTV
Hey there, fellow gridiron enthusiasts! It's that time of year again. The days are getting longer (hopefully), the smell of barbecue is starting to waft through the air, and most importantly, football season is inching ever closer. But before you start prepping your epic chili dip (recipe requests welcome in the comments!), you gotta figure out how you're gonna watch all the pigskin action.
Fear not, my friends, because this handy-dandy guide will have you navigating the world of NFL on CTV like a seasoned pro.
First Things First: You Need CTV, Duh
This might seem like Captain Obvious territory, but let's not discriminate against rookie fans. CTV, the glorious network that brought you Schitt's Creek and The Masked Singer, is also your one-stop shop for a good chunk of NFL goodness. We're talking doubleheaders on Sundays, primetime showdowns, and even the ever-addictive NFL RedZone (more on that later).
Now, how you access CTV depends on your viewing situation:
- Cable Cutter Crew: Relax, cord-killers, CTV offers a free streaming service! Just download the CTV app on your phone, tablet, or smart TV and you're good to go (internet connection required, shocker).
- Cable/Satellite Fam: Check your local listings to see which channel CTV lands on in your cable or satellite package. Then, channel surf like a champ during football season.
Pro Tip: Bookmark the CTV schedule online (https://www.tsn.ca/nfl/nfl-on-tsn-ctv-broadcast-schedule-1.821841) so you don't miss a single second of TNF glory (or that crucial Sunday afternoon nap, no judgement).
What Can You Actually Watch on CTV?
Here's the exciting part: CTV broadcasts a bunch of NFL games throughout the season, including:
- Sunday Doubleheaders: Two glorious games, back-to-back, every Sunday during the regular season. Perfect for those who like their football fix in bulk.
- Thursday Night Football: Witness the mid-week gridiron battles and avoid those awkward work conversations about what you did on your "Thursday night out."
- Select Primetime Games: CTV occasionally throws in some primetime Sunday night or Monday night matchups to keep things spicy.
But wait, there's more! For those who crave the ultimate NFL experience, CTV also offers access to...
NFL RedZone on TSN+ (Because Sundays Were Made for Football)
Imagine this: every touchdown, from every game, all on one screen. That's the magic of NFL RedZone, and for Canadian fans, it's available through TSN+. It's basically like having a personal hype machine feeding you football highlights all afternoon.
Here's the catch: You'll need a TSN+ subscription to access this gloriousness. But hey, if you're a die-hard NFL fan, it's a small price to pay for uninterrupted touchdown bliss.
So There You Have It!
Now you're armed with the knowledge (and hopefully some snacks) to tackle the upcoming NFL season. Remember, Sundays are for football, so grab your favorite jersey, settle in on the couch, and get ready for some epic throws, bone-crushing tackles, and questionable officiating calls (it's all part of the charm, right?).
And if you have any questions, fire away in the comments! Just be nice, unless your team loses, then all bets are off.
