IPTV US Canada starts at just $49.99/year for the Silver plan, which already includes every NFL network, RedZone, and all regional broadcasts with zero blackouts. The Gold plan at $79.99/year adds multi-device streaming, and the Diamond plan at $89.99/year delivers the complete package with 4K on every channel and priority support.

Fantasy Football and IPTV
Fantasy football managers need to watch multiple games simultaneously to track their players' performances. IPTV US Canada is built for this with multi-device streaming on the Gold and Diamond plans, plus NFL RedZone which shows every scoring play from every Sunday game in real time.
Set up your main TV on RedZone for the whip-around coverage, while keeping a tablet or laptop tuned to the specific game featuring your top fantasy player. The Diamond plan supports up to four concurrent streams, letting you monitor multiple individual games while RedZone fills in the gaps on your primary screen.
Many IPTV player apps like TiviMate also support picture-in-picture (PIP) mode on Android TV devices, letting you keep a small overlay of one game while watching another in full screen. This is a game-changer for fantasy managers tracking multiple players across different matchups.
NFL for Canadian Viewers
Canadian NFL fans have traditionally relied on TSN and CTV for game coverage, but these networks only carry a limited selection of games each week. IPTV US Canada solves this by providing all US NFL broadcast channels — CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network — alongside the Canadian feeds.
This means you can watch any game you want, not just the ones TSN selects for the Canadian market. Follow your favorite team every week regardless of which regional broadcast window the game falls into. RedZone is also included for the ultimate Sunday experience — whip-around coverage of every scoring play from every game.
For CFL fans who also follow the NFL, IPTV US Canada carries TSN (all five feeds) for complete CFL coverage alongside the full NFL lineup. One subscription covers both leagues across both countries.
NFL Playoff Format Explained
The NFL playoff bracket features 14 teams — seven from each conference. The top seed in each conference receives a first-round bye. Wild Card Weekend features six games (three per day on Saturday and Sunday), followed by the Divisional Round (four games), Conference Championships (two games), and the Super Bowl.
Playoff games are broadcast across ESPN, NBC, CBS, Fox, and ABC. IPTV US Canada carries every single playoff game in 4K where available. The conference championship games and Super Bowl consistently draw over 100 million viewers, making them the most-watched television events of the year.
