CTV News has outlined how viewers across Canada can access its flagship evening newscast this Saturday, December 20, 2025, despite simultaneous broadcasts of National Football League games on the network's primary channels.
Alternative Viewing Options for Saturday News
The scheduling conflict arises as popular NFL matchups are slated to air during the traditional 6:00 p.m. timeslot for CTV News at Six in many markets. To ensure audiences do not miss critical local and national updates, the network has confirmed the newscast will be available through several alternative platforms.
Viewers are advised to check their local CTV station's secondary digital channel or to stream the news program live via the CTV News website and the CTV News mobile application. The broadcast will also be available on-demand following its initial airing.
