Prime Video secures 12-year package of Canadian NHL rights

Rogers Communications sublicensed a package of Canadian NHL media rights to Prime Video under a 12-year agreement beginning with the 2026-27 season.

Prime Video will exclusively carry Wednesday night national regular-season games in English and French in Canada. The package includes at least 26 regular-season games each season, beginning Sept. 30, 2026, at no additional cost to Prime members.

The service also acquired exclusive Canadian rights to three Stanley Cup Playoff series each year: two first-round series and one second-round series.

The agreement runs alongside Rogers’ 12-year national NHL media rights deal, which covers the 2026-27 through 2037-38 seasons.

“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,” Tony Staffieri, president and CEO of Rogers, said. “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.”

“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with the NHL and Rogers in this landmark agreement, which brings even more premium live sports to Prime members in Canada,” Jay Marine, head of global sports at Prime Video, said. “When combined with our hit original series, blockbuster movies, and fast, free shipping on millions of items, the Prime membership is more valuable than ever for Canadian customers.”

“Over the past two years, Prime Video has been a valuable addition to the NHL’s media lineup in Canada, joining Rogers in bringing marquee NHL games to Canadian fans,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We’re excited that Prime Video and Rogers are deepening their relationship through this long-term agreement, reflecting our shared commitment to serving English and French-language hockey fans across Canada with premium NHL content for years to come.”

Prime Video said talent and production details for its NHL coverage would be announced later.
