IPTV Quebec City: Le Calendrier Complet, en Francais

Most IPTV pages for Quebec City 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 French and English. You get CBC, CTV, Global, Citytv, TSN and Sportsnet on the English side, and RDS, TVA, Noovo and Radio-Canada on the French side. Picture runs HD, FHD, UHD or 4K where the broadcast allows. We run 99.9% uptime — we will not claim 100%, because nobody has that. There is no contract. You pay once per term. And you can test the whole thing for 24 hours free, without a card.

Can I actually watch the Canadiens from Quebec City?

This is the first question anyone here asks, and it deserves a real answer rather than a slogan. Quebec City has had no NHL team since Marcel Aubut sold the Nordiques in May 1995 and the franchise became the Colorado Avalanche for the 1995-96 season. The $400M Centre Vidéotron opened in 2015 anyway, built with municipal and provincial money, and Quebecor’s $500M expansion bid, submitted that same year, lost out to Las Vegas. So the Canadiens are the de facto team here, and the rights are split.

• French regional: RDS carries 60 Canadiens games this season under its existing long-term deal with Bell. Under the extension announced with the club, that drops to 45 games a season starting in 2026-27.
• English regional: TSN carries 50 games a season, and stays at 50 under the extension.
• Both cover the Canadiens’ designated region, which the NHL defines to include Québec and Atlantic Canada.
• English national: Sportsnet is the national rightsholder, with games also airing on CBC and Citytv.

One honest caveat, and it is a big one. Rogers’ new 12-year national deal starts in 2026-27 and covers all platforms in all languages. It allows for the possibility of sublicensing national French-language rights — it does not guarantee it, and talks have been reported as ongoing. So we are not going to tell you which French channel will have national NHL games, because that has not been settled publicly. The RDS and TSN regional deals are separate and long-term. Those are the safe ones.

Second caveat: blackouts are real. Regional games are blacked out outside the designated market, and leagues and broadcasters set those rules, not us. We do not defeat blackouts and we will not pretend otherwise.

For the Remparts, the honest position is that the QMJHL has no full national TV package. RDS airs a limited French-language QMJHL slate, and coverage is selective rather than a full season. Anyone telling you otherwise is guessing.

Le côté francophone : RDS, TVA, Noovo et Radio-Canada

Soyons clairs sur un point : à Québec, le français n’est pas une option qu’on ajoute au forfait. C’est le forfait. Au recensement de 2021, 90,6 % de la population de la ville de Québec déclarait le français comme seule langue maternelle, sur une population de 549 459 personnes. C’est un marché nettement plus francophone que Montréal, et on le traite comme tel.

Chez IPTVCORE4K, RDS, TVA, Noovo et Radio-Canada sont là dès le départ. Pas dans un module « international » en supplément. Pas derrière un palier supérieur. C’est le cœur du produit ici, pas la garniture.

Pour les foyers bilingues — et il y en a beaucoup, surtout du côté de Sainte-Foy avec les plus de 47 000 étudiants inscrits à l’Université Laval à l’automne 2024 — la vraie question, c’est de pouvoir passer d’un côté à l’autre sans se battre avec deux abonnements. Le match des Canadiens en français sur RDS dans le salon, la même soirée en anglais sur TSN dans le sous-sol, et personne n’a besoin de changer de fournisseur. Le catalogue de 100 000 films et séries roule dans les deux langues aussi.

Une nuance honnête : on ne vous dira pas combien de chaînes francophones exactement, parce qu’un chiffre pareil bouge chaque mois et qu’on refuse de vous vendre un nombre qu’on ne peut pas défendre. Essayez l’accès gratuit de 24 heures, ouvrez la section francophone, et jugez par vous-même. Aucune carte de crédit demandée.

What do I actually need to run this?

Less than you think. Here are the real numbers.

• 25 Mbps handles HD without trouble.
• 50 Mbps covers 4K where the broadcast allows.

That is well under what Quebec City households are already paying for. Bell’s Quebec lineup runs from Fibe 50 at around $65/mo up to Gigabit Fibe 8.0 — 8 Gbps symmetrical, launched in select Ontario and Quebec areas in March 2025 — at about $160/mo. Vidéotron markets 2.5 GIGA symmetrical service in parts of the city and expanded GIGA availability to more than 350,000 additional households in 2025, including Quebec City. Those speed and price figures are aggregator-reported rather than pulled off a first-party page, so treat them as indicative — but the point holds: two fibre-to-the-home networks compete head-to-head here, and either one clears 50 Mbps many times over. If you are on the entry Fibe 50 tier in Limoilou, you are already fine for 4K.

For devices, if it runs apps, it very likely runs us — smart TVs, Android boxes, Fire sticks, phones, tablets, computers. Nothing is mailed to you and there is no installer appointment.

One honest caveat: your Wi-Fi is usually the weak link, not your plan. A router two floors away in a stone-walled Montcalm flat will cost you more picture quality than the difference between 50 Mbps and 2.5 Gbps. If a stream stutters, move closer to the router or plug in before you blame the speed tier. Support is on live chat and WhatsApp 24/7 if you want a hand narrowing it down.

How does the cost compare to Vidéotron or Bell?

Here is the comparison, with the sourcing stated plainly because we would rather you check it than trust us.

Vidéotron’s Helix TV packages are advertised in the range of roughly $75–$114/mo depending on channel count and add-ons, and Helix TV requires a Helix Internet subscription on top. That range comes from the PlanHub aggregator, not from a first-party Vidéotron page, so treat it as indicative. Bell advertises TV from $25/mo entry-level, with the promoted Good TV package at $82/mo including a $10/mo credit for the first year — regular price $92/mo after that — plus $17/mo for a Whole Home PVR rental. Neither provider breaks out sports add-on pricing clearly, which tells you something.

Our pricing, in USD, one-time per term, no contract:

Two honest notes. First, those are US dollars, so your card will convert — we say USD every time rather than letting you assume otherwise at checkout. Second, the comparison is not perfectly like-for-like: a Helix bill includes your internet, and you still need internet from someone regardless of what we charge. The fair way to read the table is against the TV portion of your bill, not the whole thing. Even read conservatively, the gap is not subtle.

Why are Quebec City households switching?

A few reasons, and they are specific to here rather than generic.

July 1. The vast majority of Quebec leases run a year and start around Moving Day, which shifted from May 1 to July 1 in 1973 so children could finish the school year. It is a tradition, not a law, but the effect is real: a huge share of the city changes address on a single day. That is exactly when people re-evaluate TV and internet, discover the transfer fee, discover the promo expired, and start looking. We have no contract and no transfer to arrange — the service moves when you do, because it never lived in the wall.

Winter. Quebec City averages roughly 316 cm of snowfall a year, with snow on the ground for a large share of the season. The long indoor-TV season is not marketing copy here, it is a fact of the calendar. People notice what they pay for that season.

Students. Université Laval had more than 47,000 students enrolled in fall 2024, in a city of about 549,000. Laval sits in Sainte-Foy. A large, transient, price-sensitive population overlaps directly with the July 1 lease churn. A one-time payment with no contract fits that shape better than a two-year bundle does.

The vertical-integration thing. Locals notice that Vidéotron is owned by Quebecor — the same group behind TVA Sports, the same group that bid $500M for an NHL franchise, and the name on the Centre Vidéotron. That is not an accusation. It is just a reason people here are unusually alert to who is selling them what.

Do you carry international channels, and where is the list?

Yes, and no — in that order.

Yes, we carry international channels across a wide range of languages. But the focus of IPTVCORE4K is Canadian, and in Quebec City it is specifically French-first: RDS, TVA, Noovo and Radio-Canada, alongside CBC, CTV, Global, Citytv, TSN and Sportsnet. That is what the service is built around and that is what we will actually stand behind.

No, we do not publish a channel list. We want to be straight with you about why, because the reason is not modesty. A published channel list is the single most useful thing a competitor can scrape, and any provider advertising a precise, tidy count of channels per language is either copying someone else’s list or inventing one — and either way that number was stale the day it was published.

So here is what we do instead. Take the 24-hour free trial. No card, no cancellation to remember. Open the guide, search the exact channels you care about, and see for yourself whether they are there. That is a better answer than any number we could put on this page, and it costs you nothing to check.

One honest caveat: line-ups change. What is there today is not a contractual promise for month eleven of a twelve-month term. That is true of us and it is true of Vidéotron and Bell, who reshuffle tiers regularly too. The difference is you are not locked in.

How do I get started?

Four steps. It takes about ten minutes, most of which is you deciding what to watch first.

1. Start the 24-hour free trial. No card, no contract, nothing to cancel. Ask for it on live chat or WhatsApp — support runs 24/7, so 11 p.m. on a Tuesday is fine.
2. Install on whatever you already own. Smart TV, Android box, Fire stick, phone, tablet, laptop. Nothing gets shipped and nobody comes to the house.
3. Test the things you actually care about. Not the homepage — the specific channels. Put RDS on during a Canadiens game. Check TVA and Radio-Canada at the hour you normally watch. If you follow the Remparts, check what is airing that week rather than assuming. Twenty-four hours is enough to catch a real evening of viewing.
4. Pick a term if it earned it. One-time payment in USD — $15.94 USD for a month, $39.94 USD for three, $48.94 USD for six, $67.94 USD for twelve. No contract and no two-year handcuffs.

If the trial does not convince you, do not buy. We would rather lose the sale than argue with you about a refund in March.
