A leaked internal document reveals the NHL’s plans to introduce a new pre-game format called PRE-RAW, set to debut in the 2026-27 season. The initiative aims to restructure pre-game programming by combining player interviews, analyst breakdowns, and fan engagement segments into a single, streamlined broadcast block. Sources indicate the league is testing the concept to enhance viewer experience and reduce redundancy in traditional pre-game shows. Details suggest the format will prioritize interactive elements and condensed analysis to better align with modern viewing habits.
