VEGAS (September 15, 2026) – The Vegas Golden Knights and ViewLift, a DAZN company, today marked the start of their fourth season together, with KnightTime+ – the Golden Knights direct-to-consumer streaming service – coming off its strongest year yet. Registered users on KnightTime+ grew 76% year-over-year, while total views climbed 57%, as the platform heads into the 2026-27 NHL preseason with new features aimed at how fans actually watch.
Heading into the new season, KnightTime+ is rolling out upgrades and improvements to make the fan experience even better. A new start-from-the-beginning/DVR feature lets fans join any in-progress live Golden Knights game from puck drop, or pause and rewind live action.
KnightTime+ is also expanding to Google TV devices, adding another major living-room screen to a device footprint that already spans web, iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Vizio, giving fans across Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and select counties in California and Nebraska more ways to watch locally-broadcast Golden Knights games.
Record Season Growth
The upgrades follow a breakout year for the platform. Compared to the prior season, KnightTime+ saw:
- +76% growth in registered users
- +57% growth in total views
"Three years in, KnightTime+ has become an integral part of how our fans experience our team," said Scott Kegley, Chief Digital Officer of the Vegas Golden Knights. "This season's growth is proof of that, and the updates we're rolling out – from DVR-style playback to Google TV – are giving fans new and exciting options for viewing Golden Knights hockey."
"Three years ago, we signed on as the streaming partner for a team that had just won its first Stanley Cup. Today, joining forces with DAZN gives us the scale to build on that momentum across the regional sports market," said Rick Allen, CEO of ViewLift. "This kind of growth is exactly the trajectory we intend to keep driving, with the Golden Knights and across our broader portfolio, as part of DAZN going forward."
KnightTime+ was developed by ViewLift in alliance with the Vegas Golden Knights and Scripps Sports, launching in September 2023.
KnightTime+ is available online at knighttimeplus.com. Fans can subscribe for just $69.99 for the season, with a free trial available through Sept. 30. Scripps Sports broadcasts 69 regular-season games and the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, should Vegas qualify.
Preseason kicks off Saturday, September 19, 2026, as the Golden Knights face the Los Angeles Kings at 6 p.m. PT (Toyota Arena) – and KnightTime+ carries that momentum into a fourth season powering the Golden Knights' direct connection with fans across the region.
