How to Watch Forge FC, Cavalry FC & Every CPL Club Live
No cable. No expensive sports tiers. Just every match, every channel — starting at $12.99/month.
Canadian soccer is finally getting the audience it deserves. The Canadian Premier League is now deep into its run, the clubs have real fanbases, and the quality of play keeps climbing. The problem? Most Canadians still have no idea how to actually watch it — especially without an expensive cable subscription.
This guide covers every option available in 2026, why most of them fall short, and the one solution that gives you the full CPL plus every other Canadian sport channel for less than $15 a month.
What Is the Canadian Premier League?
The CPL launched in 2019 as Canada’s first professional soccer league built from the ground up. It currently features eight clubs spread coast to coast, with a season running from spring through fall. The North Star Shield is awarded to the playoff champion each year.
Broadcast rights sit primarily with OneSoccer — Canada’s dedicated soccer network — along with CBC Sports for select marquee matches. Both are available through MAXIPTV without any sports tier add-on.
All 8 CPL Clubs at a Glance
The benchmark. Most decorated club in CPL history with multiple North Star Shields. Plays at Tim Hortons Field.
The rival. Physical, hard to beat at home, and home to the loudest supporters culture on the prairies.
The newest franchise. Establishing itself in one of Canada’s most soccer-passionate markets.
Toronto-adjacent and developing fast, with a growing fanbase across the York Region.
Backed by the Atlético Madrid ownership group. Unique European scouting reach in a Canadian market.
Maritime soccer is real. Halifax consistently punches above its market size.
One of the original eight. Deeply loyal supporters community through every phase of the club’s journey.
The prairie underdog. Building steadily and worth watching closely in 2026.
Canada’s Best Rivalry: Forge vs. Cavalry
If you’re new to the CPL, start here. Forge FC is the most decorated club in league history. Cavalry FC has pushed them hardest in every competition. Their meetings consistently draw the largest Canadian Premier League audiences of any regular-season round.
Both clubs also carry the heaviest CanMNT pipelines in the league. That means these aren’t just domestic matches — they’re genuine proving grounds for players you’ll see in World Cup qualifying. The level is real.
What You Need to Watch the CPL
To catch every Forge FC and Cavalry FC match in 2026, you need reliable access to these broadcast networks:
CPL Broadcast Networks
Every one of these channels is included in all MAXIPTV plans — no sports add-on required.
Getting these through Bell or Rogers means paying for a cable base package plus a sports tier. MAXIPTV includes all of them in a single flat monthly rate — no bundles, no contracts, no add-ons.
The Cable Problem for CPL Fans
OneSoccer is the official home of CPL coverage in Canada. Through traditional cable, accessing it means paying for a sports tier through a provider like Bell or Rogers — packages that run $100–$130 per month before any add-ons.
For a league trying to grow its audience, that kind of paywall is a real problem. MAXIPTV removes it entirely. Instead of managing three separate subscriptions — cable base, sports tier, OneSoccer streaming — you pay one flat monthly rate and get everything.
- All 5 Sportsnet feeds included — East, West, Ontario, Pacific, 360
- CBC Sports included for free-to-air CPL matches
- CP24 and CTV included for scores and highlights
- Sports in every plan — no tier upgrade required
- Up to 3 simultaneous connections per subscription
MAXIPTV Pricing vs. Cable
The cost difference between MAXIPTV and a cable sports package is substantial. Here’s the full breakdown:
| MAXIPTV Plan | Monthly Cost | Annual Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Month | $19.99/mo | $239.88 |
| 3 Months | $14.99/mo | $179.88 |
| 6 Months | $13.49/mo | $161.88 |
| 12 Months Best Value | $12.99/mo | $155.88 |
| Provider | Monthly Cost | Contract | Sports Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAXIPTV | From $12.99 | None | Yes — all plans |
| Bell Fibe TV | $110–$130 | 2-Year | Sports tier extra |
| Rogers Ignite TV | $100–$125 | Required bundle | Sports add-on |
| Telus Optik TV | $75–$110 | Telus internet req. | Sports tier extra |
A Canadian household switching from a Bell or Rogers sports package to MAXIPTV’s annual plan typically saves over $1,000 per year. See all plans →

What About Free IPTV Options?
Some CPL matches air on CBC Sports, which streams free at cbc.ca/sports. That covers a limited selection of marquee matches — typically playoffs and select regular-season games. For full-season coverage of your club, it won’t be enough.
Free IPTV services exist, but they carry well-documented risks: constant buffering, feeds that go dark mid-match, no customer support, and real legal exposure. MAXIPTV is a registered Canadian business — there’s no legal risk to subscribers. For the full breakdown, read: Is IPTV Legal in Canada?
