Don’t Miss Your Local News – Here’s Where CTV News Toronto Will Be When the FIFA World Cup Starts
The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19, and many CTV News Toronto broadcasts will be pre‑empted. Find out where you can still watch the full newscast – on CP24, online, and more.
Mark your calendars. The men’s FIFA World Cup kicks off on Thursday, June 11 2026, and the final will be played on Sunday, July 19 2026. That’s 104 matches packed into a little over a month, and the tournament is being shared across TSN, CTV and RDS.
For Torontonians who rely on CTV News Toronto for their morning, noon or evening updates, the network has a simple plan. If a World Cup game bumps a regular newscast, the entire broadcast won’t vanish into the ether. Instead, CTV will re‑air the complete program at its usual slot on a handful of other outlets.
Here’s where you’ll find it:
- CP24 – the 24‑hour cable news channel you probably already have on your TV.
- CTVNewsToronto.ca – the website streams the full newscast on demand.
- CTV News app – download it on your phone or tablet; you can even enable push notifications so you get a heads‑up the moment the show goes live.
- Crave – CTV’s streaming service also carries the rebroadcast, handy if you’re already binge‑watching other shows.
- YouTube – the official CTV News channel will upload the segment for anyone who prefers the platform.
In short, whether you’re glued to a TV, scrolling on a laptop, or listening on a mobile device, the full CTV News Toronto feed will be available somewhere you can see it.
Keep in mind that the article mentions “dozens of games” on CTV, but it doesn’t lay out a detailed schedule of which matches will be on the main CTV network versus the sports‑focused TSN/CTV Sports channels. So, for exact timing, it’s worth checking your local listings or the CTV app as the tournament unfolds.
Bottom line: the World Cup might dominate the headlines, but your local news won’t be left in the dust. Just tune into one of the alternatives above, and you’ll stay in the loop without missing a beat.
