A leaked internal memo from the NHL reveals plans to introduce a new pre-game format called PRE-RAW, set to debut in the 2026-27 season. The initiative aims to restructure the traditional pre-game show by incorporating more dynamic content, including player interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and interactive fan segments. Sources suggest the league is responding to declining viewership in pre-game programming while seeking to enhance fan engagement. Details on how this will differ from existing broadcasts remain under wraps, but the shift signals a broader push to modernize NHL’s media offerings.
