Amazon Prime to stream Wednesday NHL games, playoff series in Canada under Rogers deal

Amazon Prime Video will exclusively broadcast Wednesday night National Hockey League (NHL) regular-season games in Canada, starting next season, as part of a new 12-year licensing agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. The deal includes select Stanley Cup playoff series and spans Rogers' broader $11 billion, 12-year deal with the NHL for national media rights in Canada through the 2037-38 season. Prime Video will offer at least 26 regular-season games starting September 30, available to Canadian Prime subscribers at no extra cost. Rogers-owned Sportsnet retains most national NHL games, while the playoff allocation uses a draft format. This shift comes after Rogers ended its licensing agreement with CBC, ending 'Hockey Night in Canada' on the public broadcaster after the 2025-26 season, and discontinuing NHL broadcasts on free-to-air television.
