What TV channels show NHL games this season?
For the 2026-27 season, ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NHL Network are the main national TV channels carrying NHL games. ESPN also has a package of streaming-only games that don't air on regular TV.
Can I stream NHL games without cable?
Yes, plenty of NHL games can be streamed without cable. ESPN's streaming-exclusive games are available on ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu, while games that air on TNT stream on HBO Max instead.
How can I watch my team play when it's not in my home market?
NHL Power Play on ESPN+ is built for this and offers more than 1,050 out-of-market games through either ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited. If you'd rather stick with cable or satellite, NHL Center Ice covers out-of-market games too, and NHL Network sometimes picks up regional games for national viewing as well.
How does local NHL coverage work for my home team?
It depends on the team. Many clubs still air locally through a regional sports network or a local broadcast station, but more teams are shifting to direct-to-consumer streaming, and six teams have moved their local games to Prime Video this season.
