The new schedule is the centerpiece to the 2017-18 television broadcast which commences in Boston against the Bruins, Oct. 5 on FOX Sports Tennessee.
The 2017-18 broadcast lineup has the most expansive coverage to date as a result of FOX Sports Tennessee's commitment to the Predators.

The show will originate from the FOX Sports Tennessee Zone at Bridgestone Arena for all home games.
"Each year the Nashville Predators' relationship with FOX Sports Tennessee strengthens and we see that tangibly in our broadcast schedule; with our growing partnership, this season we are able to offer the most content we ever have between the 75 broadcast games, pre-and postgame coverage and social check-ins," Nashville Predators President and CEO Sean Henry said. "It's going to be an exciting season in Smashville, and FOX Sports Tennessee is the premier place for fans to watch the Nashville Predators."
