CBC/Radio-Canada has signed a multi-year broadcast deal with the Canada Games Council (CGC), making the public broadcaster the National Media Partner for the Canada Games from 2025 through 2031.
The partnership encompasses the next four editions of the Canada Games, including the 2025 games (Aug. 9-24) in St. John’s, NL; the 2027 games in Quebec City (Feb. 27 – March 14); the 2029 games in Moncton and Saint John, NB (Summer, TBA); and the 2031 games in Québec (Winter, Host City, Dates TBA).
CBC/Radio-Canada will provide extensive coverage of the Canada Games in English on CBC Gem, cbcsports.ca, and the CBC Sports YouTube channel; and in French in the sports section of ICI TOU.TV and via the ICI TOU.TV app.
The public broadcaster says the long-term broadcast commitment ensures Canadian audiences will have more access than ever before to the multi-sport event with all 1,250 hours of coverage from this summer’s games available to stream on CBC and Radio-Canada platforms. CBC/Radio-Canada will also provide production support to enhance Canada Games content.
“This collaboration with CBC/Radio-Canada marks a significant moment for the Canada Games Movement,” said CGC President & CEO Kelly-Ann Paul, in an announcement. “It not only ensures a national platform for incredible Canada Games athletes and their stories but also significantly amplifies our shared commitment to celebrating the unifying nature of sport from coast to coast to coast.”
“Sports is a uniquely unifying force in bringing Canadians together,” added CBC/Radio-Canada President and CEO Marie-Philippe Bouchard. “CBC/Radio-Canada is committed to supporting Canada’s amateur athletes, and there is no better way to do so than to partner with the Canada Games Council to showcase our country’s largest amateur sport competition.”
