More goals. More glory. Season Two kicks off with an NSL Final rematch as the league levels up with expanded broadcast coverage, a new weekly Best of series, and an all-new YouTube Watch Party.
CBC/Radio-Canada, TSN, RDS and ESPN+ return as broadcast and streaming media partners
TORONTO, ON (March 24, 2026) The Northern Super League (NSL) today unveiled an expanded lineup for fans to watch all the NSL action ahead of its landmark second season, beginning with a marquee opening night on April 24 that brings the league’s biggest rivalry back to centre stage.
For Season Two, the NSL is adding ten additional broadcasts, increasing its television presence delivering more premium broadcast windows for fans and partners alike. Across TSN, CBC, RDS, and Radio-Canada, alongside streaming on TSN+, CBC Gem and NSLYouTube, every match of the 80-game season will be available to audiences from coast-to-coast-to-coast. In the United States, ESPN+ will carry all matches broadcast on TSN and TSN+.
All Montréal Roses matches will be available in French on either RDS or Radio-Canada platforms ICI TÉLÉ and ICI TOU.TV, bringing fans every moment of the action all season long. Select matches airing on RDS Info will also co-stream on the RDS YouTube channel.
The excitement begins on Friday, April 24 at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) when NSL Final winners Vancouver Rise FC hosts NSL Shield winner AFC Toronto for a highly anticipated rematch of the NSL Final - opening the season of NSL on TSN presented by BMO and setting the tone for what promises to be an even faster, more intense, and more competitive season.
This year the NSL introduces NSL Soccer Saturdays, featuring matches broadcast every Saturday from April through November, alongside additional fixtures scheduled across the full matchweek.
Building on a historic debut that introduced professional women’s soccer in Canada, the NSL enters Season Two with growing momentum, delivering a product fueled by elite talent, fierce rivalries, and high-stakes competition. Featuring even more of the top players from around the world, and exciting next-gen talent, NSL matches have been defined by speed, intensity, end-to-end action, and nail-biting finishes.
Introducing Northern Super League: Best of the Week
New for 2026, the league is launching Northern Super League: Best of the Week—a one-hour weekly highlights program that brings together action-packed cutdowns of each of the week’s matches into a single, seamless viewing experience.
Airing throughout the week on TSN and available on the NSL YouTube channel, the series delivers a high-energy recap of every matchweek, featuring the biggest goals, defining plays, and standout performances—designed to engage both dedicated fans and new audiences alike.
A New Viewing Experience: NSL Watch Party (YouTube)
NSL Watch Party is a new, YouTube-first live experience that complements the league’s broadcast coverage with an additional, personality-driven way to watch the game. Streaming six times throughout the season on the NSL YouTube channel beginning May 31, each Watch Party pairs the live match with real-time reactions, insights, and conversation led by NSL Host Kate McKenna and two-time Olympian Erin McLeod, alongside a rotating lineup of special guests. Designed for digital audiences, the format leans into interactivity, fan engagement, and behind-the-scenes context - creating a more social, immersive viewing option that complements traditional broadcasts and gives fans another way to connect with the NSL.
A League Built for Fans
“Season One proved that the appetite for professional women’s soccer in Canada is real and growing fast,” said Kelly Shouldice, Vice-President, Brand and Content at the Northern Super League. “In Season Two, we’re not just expanding where fans can watch, we’re evolving how they experience the game. From more matches on television, to new weekly formats, to innovative digital broadcasts like the NSL Watch Party, we’re meeting fans wherever they are.”
The Northern Super League’s 2026 season kicks off on April 24.
