TVA Canada, one of Canada’s main French-language stations, carries TV shows, films and coverage that you’ll struggle to find anywhere outside of Canada. And since TVA network only operates in the the Great White North, you can’t use it anywhere else. Unless, that is, you have a good VPN.
As mentioned above, you won’t have much luck if you try to watch TVA Canada from abroad. No matter where in the world you are, however, a good VPN will let you watch TVA Canada just as you would if you were back in your living room in the Great White North.
Not only is it free, but you don’t even need an account to watch TVA Canada online.
The channel is available to live stream on the TVA Plus platform, which also hosts the TVA Sports channels, albeit for a fee (more details below).
Traveling outside Canada? You can use a VPN to watch TVA Canada free of charge as if you were right at home. NordVPN is our top pick of the options.
TVA Canada is a Canadian service that doesn’t operate anywhere else. In other words, the moment you leave the country your access will be cut off.
That’s where a VPN comes in handy – not only does it let you tap into your home streaming services from anywhere, it also protects you from potential online threats.

Although you can’t run NordVPN directly on other devices, such as PlayStation and Xbox consoles, TVs running Apple TV and various other smart TV systems, and VR headsets, an easy workaround is to run NordVPN on your smartphone or computer and use it as a hotspot.
TVA Sports is one of only two French-language sports networks in Canada and, as such, it has a lot to offer. Both TVA Sports channels are available to stream via TVA Plus, with a subscription starting at CA$17.99/month or CA$179.99/year plus tax.
The National Hockey League is its crown jewel. TVA Plus has the right to more than 300 regular-season NHL games, including Montreal Canadiens fixtures. Sports fans can also stream more than 75 regular-season MLB games – albeit not Blue Jays fixtures – on the service, as well as regular NFL and NBA games.
There’s also coverage of the CFL, Canadian university football, the Trois-Rivières Lions’ ECHL ice hockey games, Eye of the Tiger Management boxing, ATP and WTA tennis, 22 UFC Fight Night events, plus preliminaries from 12 PPV events, Nascar, Formula E, MLS, WWE and golf.
Without doubt the best thing about TVA Canada is its extensive on-demand library. Everything on there is free to watch, supported by ads.
Matlock, Doctor Odyssey and Elsbeth are some of its newer releases, while its marquee titles include Aquarius, Shetland, Weeds and the acclaimed Netflix series The Chosen One.
Of course, it’s home to plenty of reality and competition series too, such as the Masked Singer, MasterChef Quebec and Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen, and movies currently in the rotation include Baby Driver, Ghostbusters, Godzilla and a huge Christmas selection, headlined by Home Alone.
