This app is garbage

AI Highlights
  • - Mobile streaming freezes and crashes after 10-15 minutes.
  • - Audio is lost and the app requires frequent refreshes.

Honestly, I can't stream this app for more than 10-15 minutes from my phone before:

1) the stream freezes and crashes

2) I lose audio (and have to refresh the app a dozen times before it comes back)

And if I need to switch to another app and reopen it, the stream almost always crashes and needs to be reopened

SPORTSNET IS TERRIBLE

AI Highlights
  • - Sportsnet+ restart from the beginning for live NHL games is unreliable.
  • - Even with Premium, it jumps to live or glitches, spoiling the experience.

Dear Sportsnet,

I am a loyal viewer and I am very frustrated with the Sportsnet+ app. The restart from the beginning feature for live NHL games does not work reliably, which makes it impossible to watch games from the first puck drop without spoilers.

Even with Premium, the feature often jumps to live or glitches, ruining the viewing experience.

As a paying customer, I expect to be able to watch every game from the beginning without this issue. I just want Sportsnet to fix the restart feature so viewers can enjoy games spoiler-free, as advertised, or I'll be forced to stream games somewhere else instead of paying for a terrible experience.

Loss:
$5000

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Stream games somewhere else

Olympic coverage

AI Highlights
  • - Call was answered and disconnected.
  • - Great customer service.
  • - Prefers US channels; can still see Canadian athletes; disappointed with Sports Net.

My call was answered and immediately disconnected! GREAT customer service!!

I think Ill just stick to the u.s. channels .. they sir what they say the will .. and I still get to see our Canadian athletes.

VERY DISAPPOINTED SPORTS NET!!

!

Says 236 of 100 min characters but you still say Im almost there??? Ah 300+ was the magic number that WORKED!

User's recommendation: Watch the American channels. That’s where I saw our ice skating dance team. Spirtsnet adcertised 1.15.. never happened (probably wrong time!) but I was able to see them at 2.15 on a U.S Chanel as advertised in the guide!!

Olympic coverage

AI Highlights
  • - My input was deleted by your system.
  • - Worst experience watching Olympic dance coverage on US channels with different commentary.

all my input was deleted by your system

Cant waste my time I putting everything again

Worst experience ever *** in trying to watch Olympic dance coverage then in trying to complain about its non airing so had to watch it on us channels without the same commentary for our athletes blah blah blah blah done

Cons:
  • But no detailed commentary about our athletes
  • Fortunately us channel aired it

Preferred solution: Nothing now if you advertise that you’ll air something and people schedule their days round it AIR IT especially where our athletes and national pride are concerned! !!

User's recommendation: Don’t follow Olympics on sports net

I was told that if I upgraded I would only be charged the difference and I was charged another year!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Regular Sportsnet package won’t let me watch Canadiens games I watched last year; I upgraded and was charged another year with no refund.

I purchased the regular subscription (Sportnet package). I was unable to watch Montreal Canadiens games that I was able to watch with the same package last year.

I was told by the Sportsnet team to upgrade to be able to watch the games. I then upgraded and was charged another year! Sportsnet will not refund my money!

Such a scam! Do not purchase the Sportsnet package!

Loss:
$700
Pros:
  • Watch games but have to upgrade and pay rediculas amount
Cons:
  • Regular sportsnet package is expensive and you get less then half the games

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not subscribe to Sportsnet. Scammers !!!!

Going thru exact same issues. Worst service I have ever experienced and at a very high monthly rate.

The app is horrible good luck enjoying any sport with constant freezing and black screen that takes forever to reset every 10 min and customer service is impossible no phone to call a real person and they automatically deny any refund or accountability. You have to fight continuously just for cancellation and proper refund. Horrible.

Don’t make the mistake of signing up. Strongly disappointed

Sportsnet+ Issue

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Double billed; refund initially refused; contact was only via email.
  • - A refund was issued after live chat escalation.

Was double billed and they initially refused a refund and the only way to communicate was via email and they would not respond to my follow up emails asking to them to review and reconsider the refund. There are no phone numbers to contact them and their chat option would only send me to a link back to the email support.

So I had to try different situations on the chat to actually speak to someone live on the chat. Once I explained the situation, the same way I had in the original email, I was able to get a refund.

It really shouldnt be this difficult and they should offer a means of device where you can actually speak with someone on the phone. This is terrible customer service.

Why can’t I get the four month plan on my TV for Sportsnet?

AI Highlights
  • - Customer can't get a four-month Sportsnet plan on TV; it shows on the phone.
  • - Customer notes difficulty talking to a real person.
Updated by user Dec 02, 2025

Very, very, very disappointed that you cannot talk to a human agent

Original review Dec 01, 2025

First of all, Im not mad in any shape or form just a question that cant seem to be answered by you people. Im finding it really difficult to talk to an actual real person. Just wondering why I cannot get a four month plan for Sportsnet on my TV it doesnt show up but it shows up on my phone Where I will not watch any sporting events makes no sense.
