Utilizing the TSN App on Smart TVs and Streaming Devices
The most direct and increasingly popular method is through the dedicated TSN app available on various smart TV platforms and streaming devices.
Steps to connect via the TSN app:
- Check for App Availability: First, ensure that the TSN app is available on your specific smart TV platform (e.g., Samsung, LG, Android TV) or streaming device (e.g., Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Xbox). You can usually find this information on the TSN website or your device’s app store.
- Download and Install the App: Navigate to the app store on your smart TV or streaming device. Search for “TSN” and select the official TSN app developed by Bell Media. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.
- Launch the TSN App: Once installed, locate the TSN app in your list of applications and launch it.
- Sign In with Your Credentials: The app will typically prompt you to sign in. You’ll need your existing TSN login credentials. This could be the username and password associated with your cable or satellite TV subscription that includes TSN, or the credentials for your TSN Direct streaming subscription.
- Select Your TV Provider (if applicable): If you access TSN through a traditional TV provider, you might be asked to select your provider from a list and then log in using your provider’s specific username and password (e.g., MyBell, Rogers MyAccount).
- Start Streaming: Once logged in successfully, you can browse the available live and on-demand content and start watching your favourite sports on your TV.

Casting from Your Mobile Device
If your smart TV or streaming device doesn’t have a native TSN app, or if you prefer to control playback from your phone or tablet, casting can be a viable option.
Steps for casting TSN to your TV:
- Install the TSN App on Your Mobile Device: Download the official TSN app from the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS).
- Open the TSN App and Sign In: Launch the app on your mobile device and log in with your TSN credentials.
- Find Content to Watch: Select the live game or on-demand content you want to view.
- Look for the Cast Icon: While the video is playing or on its details page, look for the cast icon (usually a rectangle with a Wi-Fi symbol).
- Select Your TV: Tap the cast icon, and a list of available casting devices on your Wi-Fi network should appear. Select your smart TV or Chromecast device.
- Playback on TV: The TSN content should now begin playing on your TV screen, and you can control playback from your mobile device.
Note: This method requires your TV to have Chromecast built-in or a separate Chromecast device connected.
Using an HDMI Cable (Less Common for Streaming)
While less common for accessing streaming services, you can technically connect a laptop or other device directly to your TV using an HDMI cable. You would then stream TSN content through a web browser on your connected device. However, the dedicated apps or casting offer a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.
Understanding TSN Direct
If you don’t have a traditional cable or satellite subscription that includes TSN, you can subscribe directly to TSN through their streaming service, TSN Direct. The TSN app on your smart TV or streaming device is the primary way to access TSN Direct content on your television after you’ve signed up for a subscription.
