SportsNet Subscription price hike! $75 annual increase – new 12y deal costs passed down to customers
July 10, 2025
As the title states, a $70 annual increase for shit quality games! Continued audio / video issues, app UI issues, no home away feeds, commercials cutting into the games, ads.
I think I will be cancelling!

It’s not worth $20 let alone $325. Terrible streaming service
Good thing I just watch for free on the high seas
Yeah it’s a big pile of bullshit is what it is. I made sure my subscription is set to cancel once my subscription runs out.
And while I haven’t had any technical issues with it, the fragmentation of games across platforms makes it almost unwatchable.
Guess I’ll be sticking to free Saturday night games on CBC this year.
That’s nuts
Yeah, I cancelled. Their app is so terrible that I’m not sure how they can justify asking for more.
It’s always passed down to the customer.
Sail the high seas!
They fixing to learn something…
Yo ho ho, it’s the pirate life for me.
With all the gambling ads thrown in our face, you would think they were making enough money so that they wouldn’t have to gouge their customers.
There are free websites online. I suggest people use them more.
I sure hope the extra $70 goes towards making the streams more stable!
Right? …right?
Their account management page is going through it right now. I finally got in after about 35 minutes to cancel my sub.
I’ll be cancelling too. It’s not even the money, most of us can afford it but it sets a horrible precedent and one I can’t/won’t support.
Fuck that.
I just got my email too, that’s so fucked. That’s a huge price increase.
Lmao yeah right get bent Sportsnet!!!
And, why can’t I cancel from my phone? I signed up on my phone, I should be able to unsubscribe from it too…
Roger’s needs to stop putting their names on arenas, I guess!
30% price hike with zero announcement of bug fixes, stability concerns addressed, more content being added… Hard pass.
Also I guess this is how salary cap goes up?
Not this customer. They can literally kiss my hairy asshole, tongue, and all, for that price lmao
I can’t get into my account to cancel. I’ve been trying for an hour. I’m guessing I’m not the only one.
I will be cancelling too. Two 30% increases in 3 years. And like you said. Trash app.
Can’t watch black out games, AND THEY SOLD MONDAY NIGHT GAMES TO AMAZON, which didn’t make the price go down, it went up.
Soon they will sell another night to Netflix. Then apple. Fuck them
I’ll just watch it for free, thanks.
YouTube TV hikes its prices by ~10-15% and then SportsNet says hold my beer.
Never will I pay for that trash. High seas as well baby
I was about to post the same thing. While I like a ‘reliable’ stream I can count on for watching out of market teams this is just way too much. As a subscriber since the NHL gamecenter days I’m super disappointed. They can get fucked.
I will always pay for a streaming service, when it is easier to use. The dollar value is worth it to me. But Sportsnet is constantly lagging, quality is horrible, and I live in BC and want to watch oilers games and can’t watch all of them. Fucking pisses me off.
Anyone have any success emailing them?
Cause Roger’s is going broke? This is a good way to lose more to piracy.
Anyone subscribing to this app needs to flood with emails or at a minimum pause their subscription. Boycott this bullshit if we can. They lost WWE, haven’t added any content and they raise the price.
Stopped paying when Rogers initially bought the rights.
Liked it so much better when it was all on nhl.com
Fuck you sportsnet….shitty lagging….unable to login for 3-4 days at times then it works….pay a bunch of money for Sportsnet plus and still don’t get all the habs games. Your company is garbage. No wonder why people are switching to pirated streams
Subscribing to SN isn’t worth the cost now and it won’t be in the future. Best to explore other options that won’t hurt your wallet
I just cancelled
I cancelled my subscription at $28 a month.
It’s funny to see fans excited for the cap to increase without understanding that we’re the ones paying for it. I’d much prefer a flat cap if the price to consumers would stabilize.
It is the worst streaming app I’ve ever used. I’ve had games paused and then hit play and it would just jump to live half of the time. And the quality ranged from everything from “ok” to “unwatchable”. (App was on GoogleTV)
Also, I live around Ottawa. That means we get blackouts for Maple Leafs, Senators and the Canadiens somehow.
I also remember some times going to watch a Panthers game, and it simply being not available as a watchable game, and noticing some random games aren’t even offered.
Unsubscribed last year, haven’t gone back, and have watched the same amount of hockey I did when I had the app.
What a joke. At least when it was through Roger’s you could watch multiple angles, and watch games weeks later over and over….you had access to literally every game of the season for the entire length of your subscription. Now games just flat out disappear after 3 or 4 days. Less for more money. Pathetic.
