Hockey Teams and NHL Partner to Launch New Broadcast Networks

The NHL is set to revolutionize its broadcast strategy for the upcoming seasons, with several teams announcing the launch of their own television networks. The Carolina Hurricanes will debut their own sports network for the 2026-27 season after previously relying on an external carrier. Similarly, the Minnesota Wild have announced a multimedia television network in collaboration with the NHL, aiming to enhance their game broadcasts. This initiative includes a local production operation involving at least four teams, as the league establishes a framework for new TV broadcasts and streaming plans. The St. Louis Blues and the Columbus Blue Jackets are also teaming up with the NHL to produce regional broadcasts, ensuring comprehensive local coverage for fans. As the league moves towards centralized production for club broadcasts, fans can expect increased accessibility and innovative viewing options for NHL games.
