Sportsnet is the go-to destination for Canadian sports fans, offering live coverage of the NHL, Blue Jays, NBA, and much more. To access this content on your smart TV, streaming device, or gaming console, you first need to activate the watch.sportsnet.ca/activate app by linking it to your subscription. This guide will walk you through the simple activation process for all supported devices.
What You Need to Get Started
Before you begin, ensure you have the following two things. First, you need an active Sportsnet subscription. This can be through a traditional cable or satellite TV provider like Rogers, Bell, or Shaw, or a direct subscription to the Sportsnet+ streaming service. Second, you need a compatible streaming device with the Sportsnet app installed. Supported devices include Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox, and select smart TVs.
Step-by-Step Activation Guide
The activation process is designed to be straightforward and is similar across all platforms. Once you have the Sportsnet app installed on your device, follow these steps to get started.
- Launch the Sportsnet app on your TV or streaming device.
- Navigate to the sign-in or activate option within the app’s menu. This is often found in the settings or profile section.
- The app will display a unique alphanumeric activation code on your screen. Keep this screen open.
- On a separate device, like a smartphone, tablet, or computer, open a web browser and go to sportsnet.ca/activate.
- Enter the activation code exactly as it appears on your TV screen into the provided field on the webpage.
- After entering the code, you will be prompted to choose your sign-in method.

Linking Your TV Provider
If you subscribe to Sportsnet through a cable package, this is the method you will use. On the activation webpage, select the “Sign in with your TV Provider” option. You will be presented with a list of Canadian television providers. Choose your provider from the list and you will be redirected to their login page. Enter the username and password associated with your TV provider account. Once authenticated, your subscription will be linked, and the Sportsnet app on your TV will automatically refresh, giving you full access to live and on-demand content.

Using a Sportsnet+ Account
If you have a direct subscription to the Sportsnet+ streaming service, the process is slightly different. On the sportsnet.ca/activate webpage, choose the option to sign in with your Sportsnet+ account. You will be prompted to enter the email address and password you used when you signed up for the service. After successfully logging in, your device will be activated. This method is ideal for cord-cutters who want access to Sportsnet without a traditional cable subscription. Once complete, your device is ready to stream.
