Prime Video and the National Hockey League (NHL) have announced a multi-year agreement establishing Prime Video as an exclusive local streaming home for six NHL teams, beginning with the upcoming 2026-27 season. The deal adds to local NHL coverage already available on Prime Video, as the company has claimed in a statement.

The defending Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues will all be available on Prime Video for fans within each team’s regional territory. The offerings provide in-market fans with an exclusive option to enjoy streams of regular-season games, inclusive of pre- and post-game shows, and additional team programming.

Each Club will announce specific details of the streaming packages and subscription options in their respective territory.

“We’re excited to build upon our strong relationship with the NHL and provide fans with more ways to connect with the local teams they love”, shares Charlie Neiman, Head of Sports Partnerships, Prime Video. “We have firmly established Prime Video as a primary destination for sports and look forward to helping these teams broaden the reach and accessibility of their live games”.

“Fans want an easy way to find and follow their favorite teams, and this agreement with Prime Video gives Clubs the flexibility to meet that demand as the market evolves”, notes David Proper, NHL Chief Media Officer and Senior Executive Vice President. “Amazon has been a terrific partner to the NHL, and we’re excited to expand our relationship as Prime Video grows its NHL offerings. Together, we’re creating new opportunities for Clubs to reach fans and delivering a premium, accessible regional viewing experience”.

The partnership adds to Prime Video’s offerings of local sports team coverage, including deals to distribute the Seattle Kraken, MSG Networks, CHSN, NESN, Peacock NBC Sports Network RSN’s in Boston, Philadelphia and Bay Area, SNY, YES Network, and Marquee Sports Network, with more to be announced as agreements are finalized.

In-market fans in the U.S. will be able to watch locally at home or on the go, and across compatible devices, streaming from the web, or using the Prime Video app on smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes, game consoles, and connected TVs. Out-of-market fans will still be able to watch with NHL Center Ice. You can check the complete list of compatible devices.
