How to link Sportsnet to prime?

Linking Sportsnet to Amazon Prime involves subscribing to the Sportsnet Prime Video Channel as an add-on, which integrates live Sportsnet channels directly into the Prime Video app—no separate login or app needed beyond Prime. Existing Sportsnet+ or TV provider subscriptions cannot link or transfer; you must subscribe separately via Prime for this integration. This guide details the process, costs, content, and limitations for Canadian Prime members visit watch.sportsnet.ca/activate.

What is Sportsnet on Prime Video?

Sportsnet launched as a Prime Video Channel in Canada in October 2023, allowing Prime members to add live linear feeds of Sportsnet (East, Ontario, West, Pacific), Sportsnet ONE, and Sportsnet 360. This delivers NHL (regional for Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Leafs), MLB Blue Jays, NBA Raptors, and more without extra apps. It differs from standalone Sportsnet+ (app-based with exclusives) by embedding in Prime Video for seamless access.
