The National Hockey League (NHL) has announced its plans to bring back the NHL in ASL (American Sign Language) broadcasts for the 2026 Stanley Cup Final. Building on the success of its inaugural season in 2023, the NHL is committed to providing deaf and hard-of-hearing fans with a more inclusive viewing experience. The broadcasts will feature a team of expert interpreters who will provide real-time sign language interpretation for the game, allowing fans to fully engage with the action on the ice. This move is a significant step forward for accessibility in sports broadcasting and is expected to make the NHL a leader in inclusive fan experiences.
