Amazon Prime to Stream Wednesday NHL Games, Playoff Series in Canada Under Rogers Deal
The deal gives Prime Video exclusive Wednesday-night NHL games in Canada and at least 26 regular-season matchups a year at no extra cost to Prime members.
- On Tuesday, Prime Video and Rogers Communications announced a 12-year agreement for Prime Video to exclusively broadcast Wednesday night national NHL games in Canada, beginning with the 2026-2027 season.
- This deal follows last month's announcement that Rogers and CBC would not renew their sub-licensing agreement, ending "Hockey Night in Canada" on the public broadcaster after the 2025-26 season.
- Prime Video's lineup includes at least 26 national regular-season games beginning September 30, 2026, alongside exclusive rights to two First Round and one Second Round Stanley Cup Playoff series annually.
- Through its Sportsnet brand, Rogers Communications will retain exclusive English-language rights to more than 500 national NHL games per season, including most playoff coverage throughout the 12-year term.
- Streaming platforms invest heavily in live sports rights to capture large real-time audiences, a trend reflected in this agreement, though financial terms remain undisclosed.
