Prime Video and Rogers Communications announced a 12-year sublicensing agreement on Tuesday that will see the streamer become the new home of Wednesday night regular-season national NHL games in Canada.
Per the announcement, Prime Video will exclusively broadcast Wednesday night national NHL games in English and French, starting with the 2026-2027 season. The deal includes at least 26 national regular-season NHL games, beginning on Wednesday, September 30.
Amazon's streaming arm will also have exclusive rights to select Stanley Cup Playoff series in Canada, including two First Round playoff series and one Second Round series each season.
Rogers, which operates Sportsnet, has an $11 billion media rights deal with the NHL through the 2037-38 season.
"Our partnership with Prime Video builds on the strong foundation we have established together and reinforces NHL hockey as the most valuable sports content in Canada," said Tony Staffieri, President and CEO, Rogers, in a statement. "As Canada's home of hockey, Rogers is committed to connecting more fans to more NHL hockey and delivering more national games with fewer blackouts on Sportsnet, Canada's #1 sports media brand."
