How NHL games are televised

National games are on ESPN and ABC and on TNT, truTV and HBO Max. Local games are on a team's regional network, a free local station or the team's own streaming service, and out-of-market games are on ESPN+.

More on how this works: Streaming services compared for sports fans. The exact channel for a given game can change, so check the listing above or open the live guide.

How this page works

Times are US Eastern. The list is the same schedule the Playhead guide shows, refreshed through the day: which network or streaming service each game is on, and for many teams the team's or school's own streaming service and the free local station that carries it. Channels for regional and local games depend on where you live, so a game may show "check local listings" when no network is announced. Rights change through a season; the live guide always has the latest.
