The Traitors Canada Season 4: Premiere Date, Time and How to Watch in Canada
Quick answer:
- The Traitors Canada Season 4 premieres Monday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CTV — a new night and a later hour than Season 3.
- Extended cuts land on Crave the next day, so Tuesday is the catch-up day.
- 22 players, a prize pool of up to $100,000, and Karine Vanasse hosting again from a manor outside Montréal.
The roundtable is the part people actually argue about. Three seasons in, the Canadian version has built its reputation on banishment votes that go sideways in the last ninety seconds, and Season 4 arrives with a bigger cast than the show has carried before.
The scheduling news matters as much as the casting news. CTV has moved the show off Tuesday and parked it at 10 p.m. on Monday, which puts it directly after prime time rather than in the middle of it. Here is everything confirmed so far, plus the time-zone maths we worked out for the eastern and western feeds.
When does The Traitors Canada Season 4 start?
Monday, Sept. 21, 2026. Bell Media's release names the date and the 10 p.m. ET/PT slot, and TVmaze lists the first episode as “The Spark.”
That is a week and a bit after the Amazing Race Canada finale wrapped on Sept. 15, so CTV has a clean handover between its two biggest homegrown competition titles. Our week-ahead schedule for Sept. 21–27 has the premiere alongside MasterChef Canada's return the following night.
What time is The Traitors Canada on in my time zone?
Bell Media published two times — 10 p.m. ET and 10 p.m. PT — which is how CTV usually handles its regional feeds. The rest of the country reads off whichever feed a provider carries.
| Zone | Premiere night | Local start | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern (ET) | Mon, Sept. 21 | 10 p.m. | Bell Media's published time |
| Pacific (PT) | Mon, Sept. 21 | 10 p.m. | Bell Media's published time |
| Atlantic (AT) | Mon, Sept. 21 | 11 p.m. | One hour ahead of the eastern feed |
| Newfoundland (NT) | Mon, Sept. 21 | 11:30 p.m. | 90 minutes ahead of the eastern feed |
| Central / Mountain | Mon, Sept. 21 | Check your CTV station | Bell Media listed only ET and PT |
If you are in Winnipeg, Regina or Calgary, the safest move is the CTV listing on your provider's guide rather than a national press time. That is the same caution we apply on our fall premiere dates page.
What channel is The Traitors Canada on in Canada?
CTV, nationally. It is a CTV original rather than a licensed import, which is why there is no American or British broadcaster in the chain and no delay to work around.
That makes it simpler than most of what Canadians hunt for in September. Our sister site keeps the messier version — which Canadian network carries each American show this fall — because those titles move between CTV, Global and Citytv and rarely keep their US slots.
Can you stream The Traitors Canada on Crave?
Yes, the day after broadcast. Bell Media says extended cuts go up on Crave next day, which means the streaming version runs longer than the CTV airing.
Crave also holds the back catalogue: Seasons 1 through 3 of the Canadian show, plus the American, British, Irish, Australian, French, New Zealand, Hungarian and Indian editions. If you are new to the format, that is nine versions in one subscription — and our sister site's Crave explainer covers what else sits behind the same paywall.
A French-language edition, Les Traîtres, has also been ordered for spring 2027 on Noovo and Crave, again with Vanasse hosting.
Why did The Traitors Canada move to Monday nights?
CTV has not published a reason. What we can show is the pattern: Season 3 ran Tuesdays at 9 p.m., Season 4 runs Mondays at 10 p.m.
The practical effect for viewers is a collision with nothing else Canadian. MasterChef Canada takes Tuesday at 7 p.m. from Sept. 22, so CTV now has its two returning competition shows on separate nights instead of stacked in the same one. Anyone tracking the whole grid can use our where-to-watch guide for the full channel-by-channel picture.
Who is in the Season 4 cast, and who hosts?
Karine Vanasse returns as host. Bell Media has named all 22 players: Aisha, Bri, Cassandra, Elan, Felix, Icesis Couture, Jeremy, Jordan, Kane, Karen, Katelyn, Keturah, Kiki, Kyle, Nipîy, Niroja, Ronnie, Sherod, Spicy Vee, Taya, Ty and Van Goth.
Twenty-two is the largest field the Canadian version has fielded, and the release keeps the usual secret: how many of them are Traitors. That number is revealed inside the premiere.
What happens in the premiere, “The Spark”?
Bell Media says not everyone will get through the front door. The release describes players being put in danger before they enter the manor, with the Traitors handed their first murder early.
The setting is a historic manor on the outskirts of Montréal, and the prize pot tops out at $100,000. Episodes run an hour on CTV.
FAQ
Is The Traitors Canada the same show as the American version?
No. It is a separate CTV production with a Canadian cast and its own host, made under the same Dutch format licence.
Do I need cable to watch it?
Not necessarily. CTV airs it live, and Crave carries extended cuts the following day as a standalone subscription.
Where can I see who got banished each week?
Crave's next-day episode is the reliable place, since it carries the full roundtable. We cover Canadian competition results on this site — our Amazing Race Canada finale coverage shows the format.
