As the FIFA World Cup 2026 arrives on Canadian soil, Bell Media has announced an expansion of its sports across its TSN and RDS networks, 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, strengthening Bell Media’s French-language sports offering. 

At the centre of the experience is a new World Cup hub — a dedicated in-app destination throughout the tournament that brings live matches, highlights, news, scores and stats together in one place. 

“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,” commented 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. 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 highlightsm while improvements across web and mobile create a consistent experience on whatever screen fans choose. 

Beyond live matches, the experience brings football fans closer to the game with highlights, studio programming, and a library of documentaries and related content.

While timed to the start of Word Cup, the enhancements are permanent upgrades that will continue to benefit viewers connecting with marquee live sports programming across TSN and RDS.
