GA Russell Posted yesterday at 06:14 AM Author Report Posted yesterday at 06:14 AM Let's talk about listening to the radio broadcasts. In the US, from now until Labor Day, the CBS Sports channel will carry three games per week. We in the US will be unable to watch those games on the league's website cfl.ca. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will see "CFL Games on Regional Radio," and see the links to the radio stations of the nine teams. https://www.cfl.ca/where-to-watch-2025-cfl-broadcast-information/ The English-language stations of the Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto teams are owned by iHeart. There is a workaround to hear those three stations. 1) Set your VPN for Canada. 2) Log into iHeart.com. 3) List in the search tab the city you want. 4) Click on the station that carries the games.
