Amazon’s Prime Video and Rogers have agreed to terms on a massive 12-year deal. The deal will see Prime Video acquire exclusive NHL broadcast rights on Wednesday nights in Canada.
Prime Video had broadcast rights for NHL games last season, offering fans a different experience. Under the new deal, NHL on Prime is expected to continue with their on-air team of analysts and play-by-play coverage.
The deal comes a year after Rogers and the NHL agreed to a 12-year agreement for the league’s national media rights on all platforms in Canada. That deal begins this coming season and runs through the 2037-38 season.
Now, Rogers has used its rights to partner with Prime Video. Under the agreement, Prime Video also acquires the exclusive rights to select Stanley Cup playoff series in Canada, including two 1st round matchups and one 2nd round matchup.
The streaming giant will broadcast a minimum of 26 regular season NHL games, beginning Sept. 30. One positive is that the games will be available at no additional cost for Prime members.
Prime Video will be announcing its broadcast team for the 2026-27 season at a later date.
