Sportsnet+ signin options
Sportsnet+ lets you sign in either with a direct streaming subscription or through a participating TV provider account. On many devices, the signin screen presents a choice such as “Sign in with Sportsnet+” or “Sign in with TV Provider Via watch.sportsnet.ca/activate.”
Step 1: Create or confirm your account
Before activating a device, make sure you have a working way to access Sportsnet content.
- If you bought Sportsnet+ directly, you will use the email and password for that subscription.
- If you receive Sportsnet as part of a TV package, you will use your TV provider credentials, which are usually the same login used for your provider’s online account portal.
Checking that these logins work in a browser first can prevent signin failures on TVs and streaming devices.
Step 2: Open the Sportsnet app on your device
On a smart TV, streaming box, console, or similar device, install and open the Sportsnet app if it is not already present.
- Visit the app store on your platform and search for Sportsnet or Sportsnet+.
- Download and open the app, then navigate to the signin or settings section to begin activation.
Some platforms may also show a Sportsnet tile within a broader aggregation interface where you can launch the app directly.
Step 3: Choose how you want to sign in
Once inside the app, you will see at least two main options.
- “Sign in with Sportsnet+” is used when you pay Sportsnet directly for a subscription.
- “Sign in with TV Provider” is used when Sportsnet access is included in your cable or satellite package.
Selecting the correct option ensures that the system recognizes your subscription and activates all eligible channels or streams.

Step 4: Use the activation code on watch.sportsnet.ca
Most connected devices use an activation code flow that links your Sportsnet account to the device.
- On your TV or device, choose the signin option you need; the app displays an activation code and a URL.
- On a phone or computer, open a browser and go to the activation address shown (often watch.sportsnet.ca/activate or watch.sportsnet.ca/tv, depending on the signin method).
- Log in with your Sportsnet+ email and password or your TV provider credentials.
- Enter the activation code displayed on your TV or device and submit the form.
After a few seconds, the app on your TV should refresh and grant access to live channels and ondemand content linked to your subscription.
Activating via Sportsnet+ subscription vs TV provider
The activation steps are similar, but the login and URL can differ depending on how you pay for Sportsnet.
- For Sportsnet+ subscribers, choose “Sign in with Sportsnet+” in the app, then go to the activation page and use your Sportsnet+ credentials with the displayed code.
- For TV subscribers, choose “Sign in with TV Provider,” go to the TV provider activation page, select your provider from the list, enter your provider login, and then the activation code.
Both paths ultimately authorize your device so you can watch eligible Sportsnet streams under your plan.
Supported devices for activation
Sportsnet+ activation is available on many popular platforms, making it possible to watch from almost any modern screen.
- iOS and Android phones and tablets allow inapp purchases and streaming through the Sportsnet app.
- Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV devices, and select other smart TVs and streaming players support the Sportsnet app with signin and activation flows.
Once a device is linked to your account, you can usually sign in on other supported devices simply entering your email and password without repeating the activation code step.
Managing your Sportsnet+ subscription and devices
After signing in, you can manage your subscription and devices from the Sportsnet+ account portal and app settings.
- Use the account section to review your plan, update payment details, or switch between Standard and Premium tiers.
- Check your device or app settings to sign out of devices you no longer use or to refresh your login if playback issues appear.
Keeping your account clean and updated helps prevent conflicts related to simultaneous streaming limits or outdated credentials.
Common signin and activation problems
Users sometimes encounter errors during activation, but most issues fall into a few categories.
- Mistyped activation codes or expired codes can prevent the TV from linking, so entering the code exactly as displayed and retrying if it times out is important.
- Using the wrong signin method (for example, choosing TV provider when you actually have a direct Sportsnet+ subscription) can also block access.
Restarting the app, checking the internet connection, and verifying that your subscription is active on the account page are simple steps that often fix basic problems.
