Overview
- The Wild opened the 2026-27 season with a 3-1 road win in Nashville on Thursday, increasing immediate demand for live access to games.
- As of the season opener, the team had not announced carriage agreements with Comcast/Xfinity or DirecTV while both sides say talks are continuing and no deal is finalized.
- Fans can watch in-market games today by subscribing to Wild+ on Amazon Prime Video for $19.99 per month or $99.99 for the season with a reported seven-day free trial.
- The team secured carriage with Spectrum and Fubo and announced 10 locally televised games on KSTP/KSTC, providing partial free or bundled access for some viewers.
- Out-of-market viewers retain regular national options like ESPN+ and YouTube TV and the shift to team-controlled channels reflects a wider move away from legacy regional sports networks that can leave local viewers negotiating access and cost.
