The 2024 Olympic Games are set to kick off in Paris on Friday, July 26, and you can catch all the action without leaving the comfort of your home in Canada. From exclusive commentary to the opening and closing ceremonies, every event will be available for streaming. While other viewers around the world may require cable subscriptions or IPTV services to watch their favorite athletes, you can enjoy the summer games for free in Canada.
Even if technology isn’t your strong suit, watching the Olympics at no cost in Canada is a breeze. Here’s how you can do it:
- Stream the Paris Olympics for free in Canada through CBC Gem (free) and TSN+ (additional coverage).
Stream the Olympics for free on CBC Gem
CBC Gem, CBC’s streaming service, offers free streaming of all Paris Olympics events. Basic accounts are available at no cost but include advertisements. For an ad-free experience, premium accounts are available for $5.99 per month.
You can access the games on the CBC Gem website or through the CBC Gem app, which is compatible with iOS and Android devices. With an unlimited data plan, streaming on your phone will be seamless. The app is also supported on Fire TV, Roku, Xbox, and more.
Please note that CBC Gem is only accessible to Canadian households. While there may be ways for households outside Canada to access CBC Gem’s Olympics coverage through a VPN, we wouldn’t officially endorse that approach…
Stream the Olympics on TSN+
In addition to comprehensive coverage on CBC Gem, TSN+ offers even more coverage of over 3,000 hours on every event during the summer games. TSN+ is a premium streaming service from TSN available for $8 per month and compatible with iOS and Android devices.
