by · Published · Updated

Citytv.com is the former streaming website of Canada's Citytv television network, owned by Rogers Sports & Media, and now redirects visitors to Citytvplus.ca, where live channels and on-demand entertainment are available through Citytv+.

What Happened to Citytv.com?

Citytv.com has been replaced by Citytv+ as the main online destination for watching Citytv programming.

The original website offered television schedules, show information, live broadcasts, and episodes of popular Canadian and American television series. However, Rogers consolidated its streaming services into Citytv+, bringing programming from several entertainment networks together.

According to the official Citytv+ support documentation updated on March 10, 2026, the previous Citytv.com and FXNOWCanada.com viewing platforms are no longer available as separate services.

Visitors entering Citytv.com are now directed to Citytvplus.ca.

This change does not mean the Citytv television network has closed. Citytv remains an established Canadian broadcasting brand. What changed is the website and streaming platform used to access its programming.

What Can You Watch on Citytv+?

Citytv+ combines live television channels with an extensive collection of on-demand programs.

Its entertainment selection includes content from:

  • Citytv
  • Bravo
  • HGTV
  • Food Network
  • Discovery
  • FX and FXX
  • Investigation Discovery
  • Magnolia Network
  • Animal Planet
  • Cooking Channel
  • OWN

The service also includes CityNews 24/7 and OMNI Television, providing news and multilingual programming.

Popular television franchises associated with Citytv include Law & Order, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.

Other participating networks provide reality shows, cooking competitions, home renovation programs, documentaries, and scripted entertainment.

One important distinction is that Citytv+ offers both live channels and recorded episodes. Viewers can follow scheduled broadcasts or select available programs from its on-demand library.

The exact selection changes as programming rights, seasons, and schedules are updated.

Is Citytv.com Free to Watch?

Citytv+ generally requires a paid subscription or access through an eligible television provider.

Previously, Citytv offered some live programming without requiring viewers to purchase a separate streaming subscription.

That arrangement has changed.

In its support article updated May 22, 2026, Citytv+ confirmed that live streaming now requires subscription-based access.

However, viewers who already receive eligible channels through a participating television provider may be able to sign in using their existing provider credentials.

This distinction matters because an eligible television subscription can provide access without purchasing a separate Citytv+ plan.

Some older information about Citytv still describes free live streaming. Those descriptions should not be treated as confirmation of the service's current access requirements.

For viewers primarily interested in news, the official CityNews website also provides separate live news-streaming options.

How Much Does Citytv+ Cost in 2026?

As of October 2026, the official Citytv+ subscription page advertises three main options.

  • Monthly plan: CAD $11.99 per month.
  • Annual plan: CAD $99 per year.
  • Citytv+ and Sportsnet+ bundle: CAD $36.99 per month.

The monthly and annual plans provide access to Citytv+ entertainment programming, including participating live channels and on-demand content.

The bundle adds Sportsnet+ sports programming, making it relevant to viewers interested in both television entertainment and live sports.

Citytv+ also advertises a seven-day free trial for eligible monthly and annual subscriptions.

According to its July 8, 2026, support guidance, the free trial does not apply to the bundle.

Subscriptions automatically continue as paid plans after the trial unless canceled before the trial expires.

Prices and promotional conditions can change, and applicable taxes may affect the final charge. Checking the official subscription page before registering is therefore advisable.

How Do You Watch Citytv+ on a Phone, Computer, or Smart TV?

Citytv+ can be accessed through its official website or supported applications.

For browser viewing, visit Citytvplus.ca and sign in using an eligible account or television-provider credentials.

For mobile devices, the Citytv+ application is available through supported Apple and Android app stores.

The platform also supports selected connected television devices, including:

  • Apple TV
  • Amazon Fire TV
  • Android TV
  • Compatible Samsung smart TVs
  • Rogers Xfinity entertainment devices

To activate Citytv+ on a television, install the official application and select the sign-in option.

The television should display an activation code or QR code. Follow the instructions shown on the screen using a phone or computer, then complete authentication.

Once the account has been linked, the television application can access the programming included with that account.

Citytv+ officially supports two simultaneous streams per account.

Device compatibility is worth checking before subscribing. The service discontinued support for Chromecast device models in June 2025, and maximum video resolution differs between supported platforms.

Can You Use Citytv+ Through Amazon Prime Video?

Yes. Citytv+ is also offered through Amazon Prime Video Channels in Canada, but its subscription system is separate from direct Citytv+ subscriptions.

This difference can cause confusion.

Someone who subscribes to Citytv+ through Prime Video cannot automatically use that subscription to sign in to the standalone Citytv+ application or website.

The official Citytv+ support documentation confirms that Prime Video subscribers must watch through the Prime Video service.

Conversely, customers considering a direct Citytv+ subscription should use the official Citytv+ registration process.

Before subscribing, decide which platform you prefer and compare its current price, billing arrangements, and supported devices.

Avoid purchasing another subscription simply because credentials from a different platform are not accepted.

Is Citytv.com Available Outside Canada?

Citytv+ is primarily intended for viewers in Canada.

Its official terms of service specify that the subscription service is available to eligible users while they are in Canada.

This restriction is important for international viewers searching for Citytv programs.

Finding the website through a search engine does not necessarily mean its streaming catalogue can be watched from another country.

Availability depends on geographical access rules and the distribution rights attached to individual programs.

Anyone outside Canada should check whether a particular show is legally available through an authorized broadcaster or streaming platform in their country.

How Do You Cancel a Citytv+ Subscription?

The cancellation process depends on where the subscription was purchased.

For subscriptions purchased directly through Citytv+, sign in through a web browser and navigate to Account, then Billing, and select Cancel Subscription.

Subscriptions purchased through Apple's App Store must be canceled through Apple's subscription settings.

Similarly, Google Play subscriptions are managed through the Google Play subscription menu.

Canceling an application installation does not automatically cancel a paid subscription.

Citytv+ also publishes refund conditions. Its March 2026 guidance states that Quebec customers receive prorated refunds, while subscribers outside Quebec are generally not eligible for refunds when canceling.

Reviewing the applicable terms before purchasing an annual subscription is particularly important.

Is Citytv+ Worth Using?

Citytv+ can be a practical streaming option for Canadian viewers who regularly watch programs distributed across Citytv, Bravo, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, and related networks.

Its main advantage is consolidation. Instead of visiting separate websites for individual television brands, subscribers can access participating channels and on-demand libraries through one service.

Nevertheless, there are limitations to consider.

Citytv+ does not currently offer an advertisement-free subscription tier, according to its official March 2026 support documentation.

The platform also has geographical restrictions, device compatibility requirements, and a two-stream simultaneous viewing limit.

For occasional viewers, an existing television-provider subscription may already provide sufficient access. For households interested in several participating networks, the direct subscription may be more convenient.

The annual plan offers a lower effective monthly cost than paying for twelve individual months, but it involves a longer financial commitment.

Ultimately, the most useful comparison is between the shows you actually watch, your existing television package, and the current Citytv+ subscription cost.

What Is the Official Website for Citytv Now?

Citytvplus.ca is the current official streaming destination associated with Citytv.com.

The Citytv network remains part of Rogers Sports & Media, and the transition to Citytv+ represents a change in digital distribution rather than the disappearance of the broadcasting brand.

For anyone searching for Citytv.com to watch television episodes, access live channels, download the official app, or manage streaming access, Citytvplus.ca is the appropriate starting point.

Before paying, confirm that the required programs are available, your device is supported, and your existing television-provider package does not already include the access you need.
