– Bell Media brings new ways for fans to discover, watch, and engage with live sports including, for the first time, what’s coming up next –

TORONTO (June 12, 2026) – As the highly-anticipated FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™ arrives on Canadian soil, Bell Media today announced a major expansion of the sports experience across its leading networks TSN and RDS — anchored by 16 new Connected TV apps extending across web and mobile. The new apps are available across major platforms including Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Hisense, and include five new platforms for RDS, significantly strengthening Bell Media’s French-language sports offering.  At the centre of the experience is a new FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™ hub — a dedicated in-app destination throughout the tournament that brings live matches, highlights, news, scores, and stats together in one place. For the first time, fans can easily discover what’s coming up next, making it easy to find the matches and moments they don’t want to miss.  “This is the most ambitious upgrade we’ve made to how Canadians watch sports — making TSN and RDS even more of a destination for soccer fans, with smarter ways to find live matches and highlights, and everything in between, on whatever screen they’re watching,” said Jerrell Jimerson, Senior Vice President and Head of Products and Experiences, Bell Media. “There’s no bigger stage to launch it on than the beginning of the world’s biggest football tournament, and these are lasting improvements that will raise the bar for every event we carry — long after the final whistle.”  The rollout also introduces a range of enhancements that make live sports easier to find and enjoy. Live event merchandising surfaces live games the moment fans open the app; DVR functionality lets viewers pause, rewind, and catch up on live events; and Matches in 30 delivers a full match in a condensed 30-minute viewing experience across both Connected TV and mobile. On mobile, fans can now follow the action through vertical video highlights — a fast, social-style way to catch key moments — while improvements across web and mobile create a consistent, high-quality experience on whatever screen fans choose.  Beyond live matches, the experience brings soccer fans closer to the game with highlights, studio programming, and a deep library of soccer-related documentaries, and related content — making TSN and RDS a true destination for fans throughout the tournament and year-round.  While timed to the start of FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™, the enhancements are permanent upgrades that will continue to benefit viewers connecting with marquee live sports programming across TSN and RDS.
