What channels do you get with IPTV in Canada?
With a premium Canadian IPTV service like ApolloGroupTV, you get 55,000+ live channels spanning Canadian sports, premium sports and PPV, news, entertainment and movies, kids and family, French and Québec programming, and a large international/ethnic section — plus 180,000+ on-demand movies and series. Many channels are available in HD, FHD and 4K UHD.
If you are switching from cable or satellite, the first question is always the same: what am I actually going to be able to watch? This guide walks through the IPTV channel lineup the way you would actually browse it — by category — using real Canadian and international network names so you know exactly what to expect. Channel availability can shift over time, but the categories below reflect what a typical ApolloGroupTV subscription delivers in 2026.
Canadian Sports Channels
Sports is the number-one reason Canadians move to IPTV, and the domestic lineup is the heart of it. You get the major Canadian sports networks so you can follow the NHL, NBA, CFL and MLB without missing a face-off or kickoff.
For a deeper breakdown of every sports network and event coverage, see our best IPTV for sports in Canada guide.
Premium Sports & Pay-Per-View
Beyond the standard networks, IPTV gives you access to premium and pay-per-view events that normally cost extra on cable. League-wide passes and event feeds are bundled in so you can watch out-of-market games and big-ticket fights.
Hockey
Full NHL coverage including out-of-market games and the entire playoffs.
Basketball & Football
NBA League Pass-style feeds plus NFL games for Canadian viewers.
Combat sports
UFC PPV main cards and major boxing events without per-event fees.
Canadian football
Full CFL regular season and the Grey Cup.
News Channels
A full 24-hour news lineup covers Canadian national and local coverage alongside the major international networks.
Entertainment & Movie Channels
The entertainment and movies section is one of the largest. You get Canada's main broadcast networks plus premium movie and drama channels covering everything from prestige series to blockbuster films.
On top of the live entertainment channels, the on-demand library carries 180,000+ movies and series you can start any time — covered further down this page.
Kids & Family Channels
A dedicated kids and family section keeps younger viewers covered with cartoons, learning channels and family programming.
French & Québec Channels
A full French-language and Québec section is one of the biggest advantages for francophone and bilingual households. It carries the main Québec broadcasters, sports and news in French.
See our full IPTV in Québec guide for the complete French lineup.
International & Ethnic Channels
Reflecting Canada's multicultural makeup, the international section is huge — dozens of language and country groups that traditional providers either charge a premium for or do not carry at all.
4K UHD Channels & On-Demand Library
4K UHD channels
A dedicated 4K category sits alongside HD and FHD feeds, with major live sports events and select movie channels in ultra-high definition. You will want at least 25 Mbps of internet for smooth 4K playback.
180,000+ VOD movies & series
Separate from the live channels, the Video on Demand library holds 180,000+ titles — recent movies, full TV series box sets and documentaries — that you can start and pause whenever you like, Netflix-style.
IPTV vs Cable & Satellite — Channel Count
| IPTV (ApolloGroupTV) | Cable TV | Satellite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live channels | 55,000+ | 100–500 | 200–500 |
| On-demand titles | 180,000+ VOD | Limited | Limited |
| 4K UHD channels | ✓ Included | Few | Few |
| French / Québec | ✓ Full section | Add-on | Add-on |
| International / ethnic | ✓ Dozens of groups | Paid add-on packs | Paid add-on packs |
| PPV events | ✓ Included | Pay per event | Pay per event |
Channel counts are approximate and vary by package. The point is scale: IPTV bundles in categories that cable and satellite treat as paid extras.
