What happened: Coverage will be available in English and French beginning with the 2026-27 season. Prime Video will also carry two first-round playoff series and one second-round series annually.
Why it matters: The sublicense runs alongside Rogers' $11 billion Canadian rights agreement through 2037-38. The shift expands paid streaming's role as national NHL broadcasts leave CBC.
By the numbers: The package guarantees at least 312 regular-season games and 36 playoff series over 12 seasons.
What to watch: The first Wednesday package opens Sept. 30. The matchup schedule will define the opening season's national slate.
