As 2026 FIFA World Cup looms, CRTC dispute between OneSoccer and Rogers drags on

In March 2023, the CRTC ruled in favor of OneSoccer and found Rogers gave itself undue preference while disadvantaging OneSoccer.
This ruling followed Rogers' refusal to carry OneSoccer despite controlling about half of Canada's linear TV audience after its merger with Shaw.
OneSoccer, a subscription streaming service with rising subscriptions and expensive production costs, has spent millions this year but earns little revenue.
OneSoccer’s parent company Timeless Inc., led by Scott Mitchell, called the delay in resolving the dispute devastating and perplexing given the looming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The ongoing case suggests Canadian viewers may face restricted access to soccer broadcasts unless the dispute is swiftly resolved and distribution expands.
