Looking to explore Crave TV? In this guide, you’ll find the complete list of Crave TV channels, popular shows, and subscription plans.
Crave is Canada’s premium streaming service (Bell Media’s flagship platform), known for its HBO/Max content and Crave Originals. Its linear TV channels (for traditional TV subscribers) include Crave 1, Crave 2, and Crave 3 (flagship channels with movie and series premieres) plus HBO Canada (airing HBO original dramas).
Through its streaming service, Crave offers all of HBO’s library and Max Originals (so you’ll find Game of Thrones, Succession, Harry Potter films, DC superhero movies, etc.), and partners with Lionsgate to offer STARZ movies and series (e.g. Power, John Wick) as an add‑on.
Crave also produces popular Canadian originals (think Letterkenny, Shoresy, Little Bird, and Canada’s Drag Race). A French‑language add‑on (Super Écran) is available too – it carries original series and French‑dubbed HBO and movie content.
Crave TV Subscription Plans & Pricing
Crave offers three main subscription tiers (all include the same content catalog, just different features):
- Crave Basic (with Ads) – CA$11.99/mo (or $119.99/yr). Includes ads, up to 2 streams, and 720p video quality. This is Crave’s entry plan.
- Crave Standard (with Ads) – CA$14.99/mo (or ~$149.99/yr). Includes ads, up to 4 simultaneous streams, and up to 4K videos. This plan offers the best mix of price and features for families.
- Crave Premium (Ad‑Free) – CA$ 22.00/mo (or ~$220/yr). No ads, up to 4 streams, and up to 4K/HDR video. Premium also allows offline downloads and casting (AirPlay).
(All plans provide access to the full Crave content library.) The Premium (ad‑free) plan supports offline downloads (up to 20 titles on 5 devices), whereas the ad‑supported Basic and Standard plans do not allow downloads.

Crave Live TV Channel Lineup (2025)

Crave TV Channels Recent Updates (2024–2025)
Crave’s lineup and pricing have evolved recently. Notably, in mid‑2023 Bell launched ad-supported tiers (Basic with Ads $9.99 and Standard with Ads $14.99) alongside the ad-free plan. By 2024–25, the Basic plan quietly rose to $11.99 (from $9.99), now allowing 2 streams. In June 2025, Bell announced a major revamp of Crave by late 2025.
This overhaul will add 30% more content (new HBO/Max, CTV & Noovo shows, specialty channels like USA Network/Oxygen/Canal Vie, kids programming, and live sports/news from CTV/CTV 2/Noovo) and introduce a free ad-supported tier with CTV/CTV2/Noovo content.
The new Crave interface will also support multiple languages and improved recommendations. In short, Crave in 2025 is growing – soon you’ll get even more Bell Media and partner content, and a free option to try it out.
Comparison: Crave vs Netflix/Disney+ (Canada)
For context, Crave competes with big U.S. services. Its ad-free Premium tier ($22/mo) is similar to Netflix’s standard plans (Netflix Standard is $18–$25 CAD depending on ads or UHD).
The ad-supported Basic/Standard plans ($11.99–$14.99) are lower‑cost like Netflix’s Basic with ads ($8) or Disney+ with ads (~$11).
Unlike Netflix/Disney, Crave’s unique selling point is HBO/Max and Canadian originals – so you’re paying for premium cable hits and local content. (Crave’s library is smaller than Netflix’s but heavier on prestige series.)
In short: Crave is a bit pricier for ad-free HD/4K, but its value lies in exclusive HBO/Starz movies and Bell Media originals.
Closing Thoughts -Crave Liv Channels
Overall, Crave offers Canadians a very complete library of premium content. Its biggest advantage is giving Canadians HBO on Crave – full access to HBO and HBO Max originals.
You can binge all the big HBO hits (e.g. The Sopranos, Succession, etc.) and new Max Originals on Crave. Between the HBO/STARZ lineup, Crave’s original Canadian series, and the flexibility of supported devices, it’s a strong streaming choice in Canada.
