Apple TV+ is a top-notch streaming service. Until recently, every TV show, every movie, every documentary, and every single program was an original, made by Apple exclusively for this platform. Recent licensing deals have added new movies from Universal Studios, Sony, and others, and users can stream MLB game streams too.

Disney+ is one of the newer streaming platforms available in Canada, launched in November 2019. It provides classic original Disney content as well as popular programming from franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, offering its adult audiences just as much (if not more) content as its younger viewers.

Crunchyroll is made for anime lovers. Although it is an independently run company, the organization is a partnership between Sony Pictures in the U.S. and Aniplex in Japan. This streaming platform claims to be the service with the largest collection of anime, but it also offers much more than just videos – you'll also find a blog, chat forums, digital manga, and more.

It's not hard to see why Netflix is one of the country's favourite streaming services. First launched in Canada in 2010, Netflix now has more than 84 million subscribers across the U.S. and Canada, offers both television and movie content, and provides several tiers of pricing and service.

Crave allows you to watch TV and movies from HBO, HBO Max, Showtime and more. It was also one of the first streaming platforms to offer integration with cable providers, making it super easy to subscribe and watch.

YouTube Premium is the best way to ensure your fave creators are getting their due, without having to deal with seemingly endless ads. Extra perks like background play, downloading abilities, and an included YouTube Music subscription make it even more appealing.

Canadians who watch a lot of sports know that pay-per-view costs can be steep, which is why streaming services like DAZN allow exclusive access to sporting events. DAZN subscribers have access to live and on-demand sports, including football, soccer, boxing, tennis, and baseball.

Sportsnet+ is Rogers Media’s live sports streaming service, launched in 2016 as an extension of the Sportsnet brand that’s been a staple in Canadian sports broadcasting since 1998. Designed for fans who want to cut the cord, Sportsnet+ gives subscribers access to live NHL, MLB, NBA, and other major league games, plus an impressive lineup of women’s sports including the WNBA, FA Women’s Super League, and FIBA competitions.
