RDS (Canada): what you need to know
RDS holds the exclusive French-language Formula 1 rights in Canada for 2026 and shows the same sessions as its sister channel TSN: every practice, qualifying session and race live, with French commentary. For French commentary – in Quebec or anywhere else in Canada – RDS is therefore the channel to choose; the RDS app streams it for subscribers.
The highlight of the season for RDS is the Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montréal. Viewers who prefer English commentary watch on TSN, which belongs to the same company, Bell Media.
