Sportsnet Now: Price, features and content

Is this Canada-centric streaming service worth a (slap)shot?

1.0 ★★★★★ (49 reviews) Write a review


When you absolutely positively need to get your sports fix immediately, not next week, tomorrow or in an hour’s time, you need Sportsnet Now. Or do you? In the competitive streaming market there’s no shortage of rival players out there. Heck, it’s a veritable stacks-on of sports providers and each of them is jostling to intercept your wallet. That being the case, let’s crunch the numbers and see if Sportsnet Now is a true contender or just full of pre-game talk.

How much does Sportsnet Now cost?

You’ve got one of 2 ways to go here. A SN Now Standard subscription will set you back $14.99 per month or $149.99 annually. The other option, SN NOW Premium, gives you much more content and costs $34.99 per month or $249.99 annually.

If you’re a prospective subscriber with commitment issues, you have nothing to worry about. You’ll only be paying one month at a time for this service and can cancel anytime you like.

What content does Sportsnet Now offer?

We really hope you like NHL, because even the basic Sportsnet Now subscription is jam-packed with more hockey than you can poke a puck with a stick at. You’re staring down the barrel at over 300 total NHL games (depending on where you live), plus you can stream regional games for the Flames, Canucks, Leafs or Oilers. In addition to this you’ll get access to the entire Stanley Cup Playoffs , Hockey Night in Canada, Scotiabank Wednesday Night Hockey and Rogers Hometown Hockey.

Not into those sorts of icecapdes? Not a problem at all. The basic subscription also offers some hoop action with The Toronto Raptors and NBA match-ups. Likewise, baseball fans can track every game of the Toronto Blue Jays and over 150 MLB games simulcast from the US (including The World Series, The Home Run Derby and MLB All-Star games).

Last but not least, you’ll also get access to a range of other sports, including Grand Slam Curling, the Davis Cup, IndyCar, Tour de France, the English Premier League and a bit of WWE wrestling (Monday Night RAW, SmackDown Live, Aftermath and Main Event).

But wait, there’s more (if you put some extra money down for the Sportsnet Now+ package). Pay extra and your on-tap NHL access will almost double to 500+ games (blackout free). You’ll also find that you can now watch hundreds of additional FA Cup, Premier League, Gallagher Premiership and Bundesliga matches.
