If you are watching from Canada, the useful answer is local: which Bell Media route covers the full tournament, what is available on wider TV, and which Canada pages still matter after Canada finished second in Group B.

The safest plan is to separate complete coverage from selected coverage. TSN and RDS are the all-match anchors. CTV, Noovo and Crave matter too, but you should not assume every fixture will be there unless Bell has listed it that way.

Complete coverage versus selected coverage

Bell Media describes TSN and RDS as the exclusive home of complete coverage for all 104 matches. That is the cleanest starting point if you want the full tournament rather than a handful of major windows.

CTV, Noovo and Crave are still useful for selected matches and broader household access. They are not the first place to assume every group game will live, especially if your plan is to follow multiple teams across overlapping windows.

Viewer need	Best starting route	What to check
Every match in English	TSN	Confirm your TV or streaming access before Canada's knockout window.
Every match in French	RDS	Check your RDS access and whether you need app login details.
Selected wider-TV matches	CTV or Noovo	Use the official listing for each fixture rather than assuming full coverage.
Some CTV live streaming	Crave through the live CTV channel	Confirm the exact match, replay window or live-channel access before relying on that route.
Canada-first viewing	Canada match hub plus TSN/RDS listing	Use the Bosnia, Qatar and Switzerland results, then save Canada's round-of-32 page once confirmed.

Save the Canada match hub if you are following the co-hosts more than the full tournament.
Test the app or TV login on the device you will use for Canada's knockout match.
Use the Results Hub when you want the completed scores and archived match order in one place.
