Amazon to Stream NHL Games in Canada, Challenging Rogers for Future Broadcast Rights

Starting October 14, Amazon Prime Video will exclusively stream Monday night NHL games in Canada, ahead of a major broadcast rights battle in 2026.

Amazon Prime Video will begin streaming NHL games on Monday nights in Canada starting October 14, featuring the Montreal Canadiens vs. Pittsburgh Penguins.
The current NHL broadcast rights with Rogers Communications are set to expire in 2026, leading to a competitive bidding process.
Rogers Communications has confirmed it will bid to retain local TV rights for NHL games, potentially partnering with Amazon.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman emphasized the league's value and hinted at a lucrative upcoming rights renewal, with streaming giants like Amazon in the mix.
Amazon's new offerings include a six-part docuseries, 'Faceoff: Inside the NHL,' and a Thursday night talk show, 'NHL Coast to Coast,' to enhance fan engagement.
