TORONTO – Prime Video and Rogers Communications today announced a 12-year agreement for Prime Video in Canada to exclusively broadcast Wednesday night regular-season national NHL games in English and French, beginning with the 2026-2027 season.
Prime Video also acquires exclusive rights to select Stanley Cup Playoff series in Canada, comprised of two First Round playoff series and one Second Round series per year. This full lineup includes at least 26 national regular-season NHL games, beginning on Wednesday, September 30, available only on Prime Video in Canada at no additional cost to Prime members.
