Amazon, Rogers Communications, and the National Hockey League (NHL) have announced a two-year agreement to bring Monday night NHL hockey to Canadian fans on Prime Video.
The NHL’s first exclusive national broadcast deal with a digital-only streaming service in Canada, Prime Monday Night Hockey will stream all national regular season Monday night NHL games in English for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons. Produced by Prime Video, it will feature a new broadcast team offering analysis and play-by-play coverage, and stream live exclusively to Prime members in Canada.
“Rogers’ partnership with the NHL has been incredibly successful and integral to Sportsnet’s leadership as the number one sports media brand in Canada,” said Colette Watson, President, Rogers Sports & Media, in the announcement. “Today’s content ecosystem is evolving, and we’re really pleased to work with Amazon to continue to grow the game and help hockey fans watch games when and where they want.”
Rogers’ Sportsnet has been available on Prime Video since the beginning of the 2023/24 hockey season.
Magda Grace, head of Prime Video for Canada, Australia and New Zealand, said the new agreement is aimed at offering customers more from their Prime membership.
“We’re committed to driving more innovation for fans as we bring the NHL into more Canadian homes and across more devices on Monday nights than ever before,” said Grace. “We’re thrilled to be offering Prime Monday Night Hockey as part of our one-stop entertainment destination, which includes add-on channels like Sportsnet for even more hockey and sports content…”
Talent and production details will be announced at a later date.
