MONTREAL (October 10, 2025) – TSN, RDS, and the Montreal Canadiens announced today a landmark, long-term partnership ensuring Canada’s Sports Leaders remain home to Montreal Canadiens regional broadcasts for years to come. Under the new agreement, Montreal Canadiens matchups continue to be available to subscribers located in the team’s designated broadcast region on TSN, RDS, and streaming live through the networks digital platforms, featuring 50 games on TSN and 45 on RDS.
“We’ve been fortunate to count TSN and RDS as valued partners for many years, and we’re thrilled to formally extend this collaboration for years to come. Whether through live games or shoulder programming, this will allow fans to enjoy their Canadiens in a host of forms with industry-best production,” said France Margaret Bélanger, President, Groupe CH Sports and Entertainment.
“The Montreal Canadiens are an iconic franchise with a dynamic roster of exciting young stars, and one of the most passionate fanbases in all of sports. With this new long-term agreement in place, we look forward to continuing to bring Canadiens games to TSN and RDS subscribers,” said Shawn Redmond, VP, Bell Media Sports. “We have built a strong and successful partnership with the Canadiens, and these regional broadcasts are a key element of TSN and RDS’s hockey programming.
