  • Canada – CTV and TSN own most broadcast rights, with 1:00 pm Sunday games airing on CTV and TSN2, and the Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football games airing on TSN. Rogers Sportsnet and Citytv own rights to the 4:00 pm and Thanksgiving Day games and to those games broadcast by the NFL Network (this covers all of the Bills Toronto Series games, as Rogers is the company leasing the Bills from Ralph Wilson for the series). RDS carries games in the French language. U.S. network television feeds may also be available, often from multiple markets, on cable and satellite (and via terrestrial broadcast in the border lands); all games are subject to simultaneous substitution. Because of much of Canada's proximity to the United States, blackout restrictions and secondary market rules apply (for instance, CTV flagship CFTO-DT/Toronto must show Bills away games but cannot show Bills home games if the game is not sold out). Most of Canada's pay-TV providers also provide access to Sunday Ticket, which is not allowed provider exclusivity in Canada due to CRTC regulations.
