    Possible stupid question: where do I watch?

    I've cut the cord about a year and half now, I have rabbit ears which gives me the opportunity watch a few channels but I don't get any channels that the Argos play on, anyone know where I can watch? is there a service I can pay for to stream games? I'm in Toronto as well.

    I'm a new fan, excited to start hitting up games at BMO in 2016.

    The playoff game is supposed to be streamed live on Youtube. If not, try firstrowsports under the AMfootball section.

    Welcome to the site...and remember, there are no stupid questions. Just the odd stupid post.

    Welcome aboard. There currently is no streaming service offered by the CFL directly. To legally stream CFL games you currently need a cable subscription to use TSN Go. Or if you know someone willing to let you use their log in, my parents have cable so I use theirs.

    But as I mentioned previously, all the leagues playoff games this year will be streamed live on Youtube.

    Better yet.... get yourself to Hamilton and watch it the best way, Live. Will be great weather and a great atmosphere, and it is not far to go.

    But you have to be outside Canada and the USA technically to use YouTube to stream those games.

    Oh sorry. I was not aware of that.

    Then stick to firstrowsports. I watch a lot of NCAA football on there, and when I was without cable for a few weeks 3 years ago, I watched all my CFL games there.

    Awesome! Appreciate the warm welcome! Never thought of my dad's cable account. Also great suggestion on the website. I tried the YouTube account but got the "outside Canada" error.

    Thanks again! Hope to be spending quite a bit of time here learning the ropes.

    Be careful with sites like firstrow, sport lemon tv, stream2watch etc. Lots of pop ups, if you have chrome or firefox I recommend ublock origin.

    If you expand the screen, the pop ups won't disturb your viewing.

    No problem. It's always good to see new fans. Here is the FAQ page for TSN Go, you can log in on up to 5 different devices with one cable account simultaneously so you can watch all the 5 TSN channels at the same time if you want.

    TSN go seems to be the answer!

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

    LiveTV has the fewest ads and malware attacks, in my experience. But yeah, it's wise to be cautious with any of these sites. Oh, and for IE or Edge I recommend AdFender.

    No stupid questions just stupid people posting on here, just read my posts. haha. Just hit a local bar.

    Like the old rabbit ears. I just ditched my cel phone which I never use. Had the account since 92. Looks like the internet is next on the chopping block. Way too much money for this CRAP.

    I can sell you some pigeons ... good for messaging. They also drop fertilizer.

    Not sure but maybe the Chrome addon Hola will allow anyone to watch the Youtube streams. Hola allows you to route through a number of different countries basically allowing you to see content available to those countries. I'm not sure how speedy it will be though, it might not be fast enough. Firstrow and such are all ok, but the popups are annoying and the quality is usually pretty low. But they are good in a pinch. The best is if you happen to know someone in the US with a cable subscription that includes ESPN, and a DNS redirection service such as adfreetime (there are many others too). If they share their account you'll get an HD quality stream. A big IF though I assume.
