Earlier outcomes are on our Traitors Canada and MasterChef Canada results pages. Canada's Drag Race is the one show still waiting: Season 7 wasn't in Bell Media's October Crave overview when we last read it on Monday, Oct. 5. The full day-by-day is in Canadian reality TV, Oct. 5–11 (the previous week).

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.

Where can I watch The Amazing Race Canada?

On CTV, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, and on Crave the next day. Season 12 is finished — twin sisters Tina and Liz Liao took it at Spruce Meadows, and our results page ranks the final three.

Bell Media's Crave schedule put each episode up the morning after CTV aired it, finale included. That pattern held all season, so catch-up is always a day behind.

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 started on CTV2 on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. ET, and Crave had its first two episodes on Sept. 18.

Where do I stream MasterChef Canada?

Crave again, a day after CTV. Season 9 opened 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 fall premiere list until Crave confirms.

Crave also runs smaller originals like Temptations Under the Sun: Cyprus, whose Season 1 finale streamed on Sept. 4.

Information card listing which Canadian network and streamer carries each reality show
Our summary of who carries what, from Bell Media, Corus and CBC announcements.

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 has dated it: Season 13 starts Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Flavour Network, with eight episodes per its 2026-27 slate. The six-episode spin-off, Top Chef Canada: The Dessert Table, still has no 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 CBC dated from Sunday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. 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.
