Where to Watch Canadian Reality TV: Every Show, Network and Streamer (Fall 2026)
| Show | Live on | Stream in Canada | Status, fall 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Amazing Race Canada | CTV, Tue 9 p.m. ET | Crave, next day | Season 12 finale Sept. 15 |
| The Traitors Canada | CTV, Mon 10 p.m. ET | Crave, next day | Season 4 from Sept. 21 |

| The Great Canadian Baking Show | CBC, Sun 8 p.m. | CBC Gem, 9 a.m. ET same day | Season 10 from Oct. 4 |
| Big Brother Canada | CTV | Crave | Returns 2027 |
| Love Is Blind: Canada | — | Netflix | Casting now, pods open 2027 |
Times are Eastern. CBC lists local times, so add 30 minutes in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The gist: If you have Crave, you can watch four of the six shows with episodes due this fall, because every CTV series lands on Crave the day after it airs. Top Chef Canada is the big exception, since it belongs to Corus and streams on STACKTV instead.
- CTV and Crave are both Bell Media, which is why their reality line-ups overlap.
- Flavour Network and STACKTV are Corus. CBC Gem is free with ads.
- Two shows, Big Brother Canada and Love Is Blind: Canada, won't have new episodes until 2027.
Where can I watch The Amazing Race Canada?
On CTV, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, and on Crave the next day. Season 12 wraps tonight, so if you're reading this on Sept. 15, our finale guide has the time and the three teams left.
Bell Media's September Crave schedule lists the finale for Wednesday, Sept. 16, "following CTV." That's the usual pattern for every episode this season.
Is The Traitors Canada on CTV or Crave?
Both. CTV airs Season 4 live on Monday nights at 10 p.m. ET from Sept. 21, an hour later than last year's Tuesday slot, and Crave gets each episode the next morning.
Don't mix it up with The Traitors: New Blood, the American spin-off Alan Cumming hosts. That one starts on CTV2 on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. ET, and Crave has its first two episodes on Sept. 18.
Where do I stream MasterChef Canada?
Crave again, a day after CTV. Season 9 opens Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. ET/PT with 16 home cooks, 11 episodes and a $100,000 prize, according to CTV's cast announcement.
Mary Berg hosts and judges alongside Hugh Acheson and Craig Wong. Gordon Ramsay makes a special appearance, though CTV didn't say which week.
Which shows are Crave-only?
Canada's Drag Race is the headline one. It has streamed on Crave since Season 1, and Bell Media ordered Season 7 on Nov. 6, 2025. There's no premiere date yet.
By pattern, Season 6 started on Nov. 20 last year, so a late-fall return would fit. That's our guess from the calendar, not an announcement, and we'll say so in our Drag Race coverage until Crave confirms.
Crave also runs smaller originals like Temptations Under the Sun: Cyprus, whose Season 1 finale streamed on Sept. 4.
How do I watch Top Chef Canada without cable?
Through STACKTV, the Corus streaming bundle sold as an Amazon Prime Video Channels add-on. Flavour Network is the cable home.
Corus's 2026-27 slate says Season 13 returns "this fall" with eight episodes, alongside a six-episode spin-off called Top Chef Canada: The Dessert Table. Neither has a date.
Season 12 premiered on a Tuesday in mid-October at 10 p.m. ET/PT, per Corus. TVmaze lists that season at 8 p.m., so we're trusting the broadcaster's own release on the time.
What's free to watch?
CBC Gem. The first episode of each CBC fall series goes up at 9 a.m. ET on its premiere date, with the next one a week later at the same hour.
That covers The Great Canadian Baking Show, whose tenth season starts Sunday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. on CBC. Canada's Ultimate Challenge isn't on CBC's fall 2026 list at all, so treat it as off the air for now.
Canada's Got Talent is also resting. Citytv paused it after Season 5 ended in May 2025.
When do Big Brother Canada and Love Is Blind: Canada come back?
Both in 2027. Bell Media ordered a new Big Brother Canada in June, with Andrea Bain hosting and production starting in Montréal next spring. Our Big Brother Canada explainer covers what's confirmed and what isn't.
Netflix announced Love Is Blind: Canada on Aug. 11. Casting closes Nov. 2, 2026, and the pods open in 2027. No premiere date has been given, so we're not guessing one.
