Yes, you can watch Sportsnet on a Samsung smart TV, but your options for doing so depend on the TV’s model year and operating system. While some users have successfully downloaded and used a dedicated Sportsnet app, others have found it unavailable, leading to several alternative methods to stream the content on the big screen visit watch.sportsnet.ca/activate.
Using the Native Sportsnet App
A native Sportsnet app is available for some Samsung smart TVs. The availability of this app can vary, and it appears to be more consistently found on newer models.
- Supported Models: The Sportsnet+ app is officially listed as available on Samsung smart TVs from 2018 and newer.
- How to Find It: To see if your TV is compatible, navigate to the Samsung App Store from your TV’s home screen. Use the search function to look for “Sportsnet”. Some users have found it categorized under the “Sports” section.
- Activation: Once downloaded, you will need to activate it. You can sign in with your Sportsnet+ subscription credentials or with your TV provider login. The process typically involves going to a specific URL on a separate device (like a phone or computer) and entering an activation code displayed on your TV screen.
What to Do If You Can’t Find the App
If you search the Samsung App Store and cannot find the Sportsnet app, it’s likely not available for your specific TV model or region. Users have reported that older Samsung TVs or even some newer ones do not have the app in the store. In this case, you have several alternative methods to get the content on your TV.
- Screen Mirroring: The most common workaround is to use screen mirroring (also known as casting or screen sharing). You can install the Sportsnet app on your smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android), start the stream, and then mirror your device’s screen to your Samsung TV.
- Amazon Prime Video Channel: If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can subscribe to Sportsnet as a Prime Video Channel. You can then watch the Sportsnet live feeds directly through the Prime Video app on your Samsung TV. Note that this is a separate subscription from a standard Sportsnet+ account.
- External Streaming Devices: Another reliable method is to use a separate streaming media player that has a dedicated Sportsnet app. Devices that support Sportsnet+ include:
- Apple TV
- Google Chromecast
- Amazon Fire TV
- Roku
- Xbox and PlayStation consoles
By connecting one of these devices to your Samsung TV’s HDMI port, you can download the Sportsnet app on that device and stream content seamlessly.

- Check Regional Settings: In some cases, app availability can be affected by your TV’s or account’s regional settings. Ensure your Samsung account is set to Canada, as an incorrect region (like the U.S.) might prevent the app from appearing.
