Most IPTV pages for Edmonton lead with a number they cannot back up. Here is the honest version: IPTVCORE4K carries 25,000+ live channels and 100,000+ movies and series, in HD, FHD, UHD and 4K where the broadcast allows. Canadian networks — CBC, CTV, Global, Citytv, TSN, Sportsnet — plus French service including RDS, TVA, Noovo and Radio-Canada. We run at 99.9% uptime. Not 100%. Nobody has 100%.
There is no contract. You pay once per term, from $15.94 USD for one month down to $67.94 USD for twelve. Support is 24/7 on live chat and WhatsApp. Before any of that, there is a 24-hour free trial with no card. Test it on your own connection in your own living room, then decide.
Can I actually watch the Oilers, and what happens now that CBC is out?
Start with the part nobody in this city can ignore. Sportsnet is the Oilers’ exclusive regional broadcast partner under an 11-year extension running through 2035 — regional games air in Alberta and Saskatchewan across Sportsnet West, Sportsnet ONE and Sportsnet Oilers. And CBC’s sublicence ends after the 2025-26 season. From 2026-27, year one of Rogers’ 12-year NHL deal, there is no free over-the-air Hockey Night in Canada. CBC had televised NHL hockey since 1952. In an Oilers city, hockey has just become something you pay for.
We carry CBC, CTV, Global, Citytv, TSN and Sportsnet. Being blunt about what that means: blackouts are real and they are set by the leagues and the broadcasters, not by us. Any service telling you it defeats a regional blackout is telling you something it cannot deliver. What we do is give you the feeds in HD to 4K where the broadcast allows, and a 24-hour trial so you can check a live game night yourself rather than take our word for it.
On the other two teams in town:
- Edmonton Oilers (NHL) — Sportsnet regionally; Sportsnet nationally too, now that the CBC era has ended.
- Edmonton Elks (CFL) — simpler than the Oilers, and worth stating plainly because a lot of pages get this wrong. In Canada, TSN carries every CFL game in English and RDS carries French coverage. We carry TSN and RDS. There is no separate streaming product you need to buy on the side to follow the Elks from Edmonton.
- Edmonton Stingers (CEBL) — worth knowing: CBC Sports streams every game of the 2026 CEBL season free on CBC Gem, cbcsports.ca and the CBC Sports YouTube channel, with six regular-season games plus the Conference Finals and the best-of-three Finals on CBC TV. That is free whether you buy anything from us or not, and we would rather tell you than let you pay for it twice.
One change worth flagging ahead of time: from 2027, under the CFL’s new six-year agreements, TSN carries up to three regular-season games a week plus six of eight playoff games and the Grey Cup, while DAZN takes one exclusive Saturday night game each week. DAZN is a separate service. That is a 2027 problem, not a 2026 one, but you should hear it from us now rather than discover it later.
What do I need to run this in an Edmonton house or apartment?
Less than people assume. 25 Mbps handles HD comfortably. 50 Mbps covers 4K. If you are on TELUS PureFibre — and TELUS has stated its Edmonton PureFibre build reaches roughly 90% of buildings and homes — you are far past that already. If you are on the Rogers cable network, the one Shaw started building here in 1966, you are almost certainly past it too. This is a two-incumbent city, which is genuinely good news for you: both networks comfortably clear our requirement.
What you need:
- A connection at 25 Mbps or better, 50 Mbps if you want 4K on the main TV.
- A device you probably already own — a smart TV, an Android box, a Fire Stick, a phone, a tablet, a computer.
- Nothing from us. No installer, no truck roll, no equipment upgrade.
That last point lands differently in Edmonton than elsewhere. Rogers retired legacy TV boxes in select areas of Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver starting 25 May 2023, which pushed households into equipment upgrades they had not asked for. We do not own a box in your living room, so there is nothing for us to obsolete and nothing to tie you to.
Wi-Fi is where most problems actually live. A high-rise in Wîhkwêntôwin overlooking the river valley, with concrete floors, is a harder radio environment than a bungalow in Highlands. If the trial looks soft on a far-room TV, try that TV on ethernet before blaming the stream.
Is this cheaper than TELUS or Rogers, honestly?
Almost certainly yes — but we are going to be careful about how we say it, because this is where these pages usually start inventing things.
We are not going to quote you a TELUS or Rogers Edmonton price. Not because the comparison is unflattering to them, but because we could not verify a current, Edmonton-specific, sports-inclusive rate we would be willing to stand behind. Incumbent pricing varies by address, changes without notice, and is quoted as a promotional rate that steps up later. A number we cannot verify is a number we will not print, even when it would help our case.
What we will say is structural, and you can check it on their own websites in about five minutes:
- Incumbent TV pricing is generally promotional, with a step-up after the promo period ends. The honest comparison is the regular rate, not the promo rate — the promo is a discount on a bill you will eventually pay in full.
- Sports channels typically are not in an entry-level TV tier. They arrive through add-on packs, so the advertised entry price is rarely the price of a package that shows you an Oilers game.
- Optik TV requires a TELUS internet line, so on the fibre side your TV decision is coupled to your ISP decision.
Go get their real number for your actual address, including what it becomes once the promo ends. Then compare it to ours, which is this and does not move:
| Term | One-time payment (USD) | Works out to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $15.94 USD | $15.94/mo |
| 3 months | $39.94 USD | $13.31/mo |
| 6 months | $48.94 USD | $8.16/mo |
| 12 months | $67.94 USD | $5.66/mo |
Two caveats we will volunteer rather than bury. Our prices are in USD, so your card statement will show a conversion and your bank may add a foreign-transaction fee. And you still need internet — we replace the TV bill, not the ISP bill. If you are a fibre household, dropping Optik means TELUS internet stands on its own, which is a conversation worth having with them before you cancel anything.
Why are Edmonton households switching right now?
Because three things are landing at once, and all three are specific to this city.
Hockey stopped being free. That is the big one. A 74-year run on CBC ends, and watching the Oilers becomes a paid Sportsnet subscription in the one city where that is least likely to go unnoticed. People who had never once questioned their TV bill are questioning it now.
The clocks are about to stop moving. Alberta passed its new Official Time Act in June 2026 and adopts permanent Alberta Time at UTC-6, the former Mountain Daylight Time. From 1 November 2026 the clocks no longer fall back, and the semi-annual change is gone. That permanently shifts when every national and US broadcast lands in an Edmonton living room. Eastern-driven schedules already push Oilers puck drops late by Mountain reckoning, and from this November the arithmetic changes on you once and stays changed.
Everybody is moving here. The Edmonton CMA grew 3.0% between July 2024 and July 2025 — the largest of any census metropolitan area in Canada — and 14.9% over 2021-2025 to 1.69 million people. Edmonton posted the largest net interprovincial migration gain of any CMA in the country — +11,742, ahead of Calgary, for the third year running. That is an enormous number of households setting up service from scratch, with no incumbent loyalty and no reason to sign a two-year contract sight unseen.
Add the weather. On 1 January the sun rises around 8:50 a.m. and sets around 4:24 p.m. — roughly seven hours of daylight against about seventeen at midsummer. Edmonton is one of Canada’s sunniest cities by annual hours, and it is still dark when you get home in January. Long indoor evenings are a real part of the TV-watching year here, which is precisely why what you pay for those evenings is worth twenty minutes of scrutiny.
The switching pattern we see is not ideological. It is a Mill Woods family whose promo expired, a Windermere household that never wanted a truck roll, a U of A student on Whyte Ave doing arithmetic.
Do you carry channels in my language, and where is the channel list?
Straight answer on both, including the part you will not like.
Our focus is Canadian. CBC, CTV, Global, Citytv, TSN, Sportsnet on the English side; RDS, TVA, Noovo and Radio-Canada on the French. That is where our effort goes and that is what we will put in writing.
Beyond that, we carry international channels across a wide range of languages. We will not go further than that sentence. We will not tell you how many channels exist in any given language, we will not name a specific foreign network, and we will not promise you that a particular language is carried. Not because the answer is bad — because any number we gave you would be a snapshot that drifts, and a page that names networks it does not currently carry has lied to you, whatever the intention was.
And no, we do not publish a channel list. Being direct about the reason: a published list is a permanent, dated, public claim about carriage that changes underneath it. Ours would be wrong within a month and we would be quoting it back to you for a year.
The trial exists precisely for this. 24 hours, no card. The U of A draws over 44,000 students from more than 156 countries, and it is a fair guess that many of them arrive in this city wanting something specific from home. Do not take our word for whether we have it. Load the trial, search for it, and see. That takes five minutes and settles the question in a way no marketing sentence can.
How do I get started, and how fast?
Same evening, in most cases.
- Start the free trial. 24 hours, no card, no phone call. You are not registering an intention to buy — you are getting a working service to test.
- Load it on the TV you actually care about. Not the spare bedroom set. Whichever screen the Oilers game goes on, because that is the one that has to work on a game night.
- Test at a bad time on purpose. Sunday evening, or during a live game while the rest of your street is streaming the same thing. Anything looks fine at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday.
- Check your real channels. Sportsnet for the Oilers, TSN for the Elks. Check RDS or Radio-Canada if your household watches in French.
- Ask us anything during the trial. Live chat or WhatsApp, 24/7. Trial users get the same support as paying ones; that is the only way the trial means anything.
- Pick a term if it worked. $15.94 USD for a month if you want to stay cautious, $67.94 USD for twelve if you are convinced. One payment, no contract.
If the trial does not satisfy you, do nothing. There is no card on file to cancel. That is the entire pitch: we would rather lose you in 24 hours than a year in.
