Canucks games will cost more to watch next season thanks to Sportsnet+ price hike

Vancouver Canucks fans will continue to be able to watch their team every night, but they will pay a little more to stream the games next season.

On Thursday, Rogers Sportsnet announced a price increase for its Sportsnet+ stream service, significantly raising the prices for the 2025-26 season.

The price of the standard subscription, which takes effect on September 9, increases from $199.99 annually to $249.99. The premium subscription, which is crucial for fans who don’t live in the markets of their favourite teams, patriculary the Canucks, rises from $249.99 to $324.99 for the year.

Fans can still opt for monthly plans; the standard subscription costs $29.99 per month, with a premium plan priced at $42.99 per month. The premium plan costs monthly subscribers an additional $13.00 per month for the year.

This isn’t the first time the telecom has upped its prices this year. In January, the regular subscription price increased from $179.99 to $199.99. If you’re doing the math, Sportsnet+ subscribers have seen their plans rise 40% in a single year, with an extra $70 coming out of consumers’ pockets.

With the price hike, fans hope that it will mean a better quality stream experience, as one of the major criticisms of the streaming service is its unreliability. Many experienced issues with keeping an eye on Canucks games throughout the season, as frequent errors popped up that said the games were not available.
