How to Watch Raptors Without Cable: 2026-27 Streaming Guide

If you want to know how to watch Raptors without cable, you will need to cover two broadcasters. Raptors games are split between Sportsnet, which you can stream with Sportsnet+, and TSN, which has its own streaming subscription. On top of that, Prime Video now carries a package of national NBA games in Canada.

Rogers says Sportsnet+ Standard includes around 41 Raptors games, roughly half the season. The rest have traditionally aired on TSN. This guide explains how to piece together the full schedule, what it costs and how to avoid paying for more than you need.

Who broadcasts Raptors games in 2026-27?

The 2026-27 Raptors season opened on October 21 at Scotiabank Arena. Local TV coverage is shared between TSN and Sportsnet, as it has been for years.

Prices are in CAD before tax at the time of writing. Rogers now fully owns the team’s parent company, MLSE, after buying out Bell’s stake, and Daily Hive reported in September 2026 that Rogers controls the team’s broadcast strategy. Coverage arrangements could change in future seasons, so check each week’s listings.

Streaming Raptors games on Sportsnet+

Sportsnet+ Standard is the plan you need for Sportsnet’s Raptors games. Prices rose on September 22, 2026, to $34.99 per month or $269.99 per year. The same plan includes the NHL on Sportsnet and the Blue Jays, which makes the annual price easier to justify for multi-sport households.

Premium, at $44.99 per month, adds out-of-market NHL games and international events but no extra Raptors coverage, so basketball-only fans should stick with Standard.

Streaming Raptors games on TSN

For TSN’s Raptors games, you need TSN’s full streaming plan, which includes the live TSN channels. Daily Hive listed it at around $29.99 per month or $244.99 per year in July 2026. It also includes the CFL, regional NHL games for the Senators and Jets, and the World Juniors, which run from December 26 this season.

Prime Video’s NBA games

Prime Video’s new 11-year deal gives Canadian Prime members 66 regular-season NBA games, the NBA Cup, the Play-In Tournament and exclusive first- and second-round playoff games. If the Raptors reach the playoffs, some of their games could be on Prime Video, so keep an Amazon Prime membership in mind for spring. MobileSyrup also reported that Sportsnet and TSN can be added as Prime Video Channels, letting you manage all three in one app.

Does NBA League Pass show Raptors games?

NBA League Pass is built for out-of-market games. Raptors games broadcast in Canada are typically blacked out live on League Pass, so it is not a substitute for Sportsnet and TSN. It is useful if you also follow another team, and replays may become available after a delay. Check the NBA app for current Canadian blackout rules and pricing.

Ways to save as a Raptors fan

A full Raptors setup on monthly billing costs roughly $75 per month with Sportsnet+, TSN and Prime. Here are legitimate ways to bring that down.

1. Pay annually for Sportsnet+ and TSN if you also watch hockey, baseball or the CFL.
2. Use one service at a time. Check the Raptors schedule, and if one broadcaster has most of the games in a given month, subscribe to just that one.
3. Check provider bundles with your internet or wireless company.
4. Skip Premium on Sportsnet+ unless you need out-of-market NHL games.

Following the Raptors for free

You cannot watch live Raptors games for free legally in Canada, but there are free ways to keep up.

• Radio: Raptors games are broadcast on Toronto sports radio, and stations offer live audio streams in their apps.
• Highlights: the NBA, the Raptors, Sportsnet and TSN post free highlights on their apps and social channels shortly after games.
• TV provider login: if someone in your household already pays for Sportsnet and TSN through a TV package, you can sign in to both apps with those credentials.

Devices and setup tips

Sportsnet+, TSN and Prime Video all work on major smart TVs, Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Roku and mobile devices. For the best picture, use a recent streaming device and a stable connection; our streaming device guide compares options.

Avoid unofficial Raptors streams and “all sports” sellers with no clear licensing. They are unreliable and risky, and rebroadcasting Sportsnet or TSN without permission is copyright infringement in Canada. If you want a general live TV package for news and entertainment, our own plan, IPTV Journal, is $89 for 12 months on all devices; see our pricing section. For Raptors games, stick with the official apps.

Which setup is right for you?

Die-hard fans who want every game need both Sportsnet+ Standard and TSN, with Amazon Prime for national games and potential playoff series. If you only want a taste of the season, pick whichever broadcaster has the most Raptors games in the month you care about. And if you mainly follow the league rather than the Raptors, Prime Video may be enough on its own.
