Sony - which owns Jeopardy as well as Wheel of Fortune - has been notoriously opposed to entering the 21st century and providing its syndicated game shows to any streaming platforms. The rights to both shows in Canada is owned by a group of independent stations, none of which stream their channels online (aside from locally produced shows). They do broadcast over-the-air in their local communities, but in my case the station that has it is CHEK in Victoria, which doesn’t reach where I live.

In the United States, the only legal way to stream those two game shows is if you have a local station that carries the show and streams full-time online. All of the streams I’m aware of that do this are geo-blocked in Canada.

I’ve definitely looked into non-cable options for Jeopardy. This question frequently comes up on the Jeopardy subreddit.
