How to Watch NHL, NFL & Live Sports Without Cable (Canada & USA, 2026)
Between TSN, Sportsnet, ESPN and a pile of pay-per-view fees, watching live sports the traditional way has never been more expensive. The good news: cord-cutters across Canada and the USA now stream every game over IPTV for a fraction of a cable bill. Here's how it works in 2026.
Why sports fans are cutting the cord
A typical cable-plus-sports package runs well over $120 a month, and the biggest fights still cost extra on top. IPTV bundles the same live channels — plus thousands more — into one subscription that streams to the devices you already own, with no contract. For most households that's a saving of well over $1,000 a year.
What you can watch
- NHL hockey on TSN and Sportsnet, including regional and out-of-market feeds
- NFL, NBA and MLB on ESPN and the major US networks
- Premier League & Champions League football on beIN and Sky Sports
- Every boxing, UFC and MMA [pay-per-view](/channels/ppv-events) — included, with nothing extra on fight night
- 3,500+ live sports channels in total, in HD and 4K
What you need to get started
- 1A stable internet connection — around 25 Mbps for HD, 50 Mbps+ for 4K or multiple screens.
- 2A device you already own: Fire Stick, Android, iPhone, Apple TV, a Smart TV or a computer.
- 3An IPTV subscription like LemoTV, which activates within minutes of ordering.

Is it reliable during hockey season?
Stream stability matters most when the puck drops. LemoTV runs at 99.9% uptime with anti-freeze playback, and support is available 24/7 if anything ever hiccups. A wired connection or strong Wi-Fi gives the smoothest results during peak game times.
