What is NHL Network on?
Jump to an answer
Check your existing TV package
Use the official NHL Network channel finder with your ZIP code and provider. Confirm the exact channel and required tier in your provider's current lineup. A provider carrying NHL Network does not establish that your particular package includes it.
Streaming options and required extras
Sling: its hockey access guide lists NHL Network through Sports Extra added to a Sling package. Compare the base plan plus the extra; base-plan access alone is not enough.
Fubo: its channel table lists NHL Network in Deluxe and other qualifying plans, or through Extra, Sports Plus or Sports Lite. The table includes some plans unavailable to new subscribers. Verify the offer available to you, required base plan and total recurring cost. See our Fubo plan guide.
These are verified examples, not a complete provider list. Check the channel finder and current checkout lineup before subscribing.
Is NHL Network the same as ESPN+?
No. NHL Network channel access and an ESPN+ subscription are separate viewing checks. The NHL viewing guide identifies ESPN+ for U.S. out-of-market games and some regional simulcasts on NHL Network outside local markets.
An ESPN+ game listing does not establish access to NHL Network's live channel. Match the actual broadcaster to your subscription. If ESPN reports a blackout, its blackout guidance says to check local listings for the broadcaster carrying that game. Do not buy another plan until you confirm the event and your location.
Find the channel's game or programming schedule
Use the official live game schedule for matchups and the programming schedule for shows and other coverage. Compare with your provider's live guide; schedules and local availability can change.
Our NHL TV listings and weekly sports schedule help find announced sources. Captured listings below may be incomplete; an empty list does not mean NHL Network has no games.
