As the Blue Jays Take Center Stage in the “World’ Series, What Sports are Canadians Currently Watching Most Often?
The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from winning the World Series and clearly there is much excitement in Toronto, across Ontario and in other parts of Canada. It s all happening at the time of the year when viewers have access to all the major sports whether it is Canada’s national pastime, hockey, CFL/NFL football, NBA basketball, soccer, tennis, etc. To test Blue Jay mania, we commissioned Leger to ask Canadians what sports they re currently watching most often and asked them to share the top two. The results confirm that hockey remains the sport watched by the largest plurality of Canadians. But baseball is ahead of hockey in Ontario and Atlantic Canada, amongst Canadians over 65 and amongst allophones but hockey remains dominant elsewhere. Some 1527 respondents were surveyed by Leger for the ACS from October 24-26, 2025.
