Prime Video has secured exclusive streaming rights to NHL games in six key local markets for the upcoming season, a move that could reshape how fans in those cities watch hockey. The deal, announced by the league, will see select regular‑season matchups broadcast solely on Amazon’s platform, offering viewers a new digital alternative to traditional TV broadcasts. While the partnership is limited to a handful of markets, it signals the NHL’s growing interest in expanding its streaming footprint and tapping into Amazon’s vast subscriber base. Fans in the affected regions will need to subscribe to Prime Video or use the Amazon Channels add‑on to access the games, potentially sparking discussions about the future of sports broadcasting and the balance between cable and streaming services.
