Summary
Sportsnet’s streaming service, Sportsnet Plus, is skyrocketing in price—up 30% to $324.99 annually starting September 9—with the standard tier also jumping 25%. Fans are furious, canceling subscriptions and even considering illegal streaming, frustrated by the steep hike after Rogers locked in an $11 billion NHL rights deal. Sportsnet defends the move, touting unmatched value and competitive pricing, but fans question whether the cost is worth it amid rising ticket and merch prices and a fragmented NHL broadcast market.
