Toronto Wolfpack Confirm Canadian Broadcast for Season Opener

Toronto Wolfpack confirms that fans in Canada will be able to watch the Club’s historic Super League debut against Castleford Tigers live on Sportsnet World and Sportsnet Now+. This agreement will also see the round three fixture on February 13th, at the home of Wigan Warriors broadcast live in Canada.

This Sunday’s game will air at 9:30am ET and fans will have the option of watching at home on Sportsnet or surrounded by fellow supporters thanks to the confirmation of a viewing party at Wolfpack partner Northern Maverick Brewing Co.

Sportsnet Now+ is a paid subscription channel, available through a weekly, monthly, or annual pass, that will air the Wolfpack games live before playing repeats at later times on Sportsnet World, a channel included within the subscription package. Available for use through desktop and mobile devices through the Sportsnet app, fans will be able to follow the Wolfpack’s maiden steps in the top division on-the-go or from the comfort of their home.

Jon Pallett, Toronto Wolfpack Vice President, Commercial commented:

“While we continue discussions around additional broadcasts, we are delighted our fans in Canada are able to watch the Wolfpack’s opening foray onto the Super League stage.

A major player in the Canadian sports broadcast market, Sportsnet supported us in carrying our Challenge Cup and Playoff games in 2018 and 2019 and we look forward to working together in 2020.”

Held at their flagship Bathurst Street location, Northern Maverick’s viewing parties were a staple of the Wolfpack’s 2019 Championship-winning season and will return bigger and better throughout the coming season. Serving a traditional English breakfast alongside $5 stout specials, the February 2 season opener is set to be the perfect way to launch a long-awaited Super League campaign.

Fans are advised to stay tuned to the Wolfpack website and social media channels to stay up-to-date with further 2020 broadcast information as it is released.
