Globe says OneSoccer wants red card for Rogers

2025-06-02 06:20 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that as the one-year countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup looms, a fight to open the door to a wider TV audience for Canadian soccer drags on. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that on one side is OneSoccer, the subscription streaming service that carries Canadian national team games as well as the Canadian Premier League and Canadian Championship. On the other is giant telco Rogers, which has refused to carry OneSoccer. In March, 2023, the CRTC ruled in favour of OneSoccer, saying that Rogers, by refusing to carry OneSoccer, "has given an undue preference to itself and to other services comparable to OneSoccer, and has subjected OneSoccer to a disadvantage." The CRTC directed the two parties to submit "by no later than 11 April 2023, proposed remedies for resolving the finding of undue preference and disadvantage." Two years later, nothing has changed other than the case's paper trail has grown exponentially. Scott Mitchell, owner of OneSoccer's parent company Timeless Inc., as well as chairman of both the Canadian Premier League and Canadian Soccer Business, is "perplexed" at the delay. Rogers declined to comment, referring inquiries to past company filings.
