Amazon Prime Video to Stream Local NHL Games for Six Teams
A new multiyear deal makes Prime Video the exclusive local streaming home for the Hurricanes, Ducks, Blue Jackets, Stars, Wild and Blues.
Amazon's Prime Video will become the exclusive local streaming home for six NHL teams this season under a multiyear agreement the league announced Wednesday.
Defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina, along with Anaheim, Columbus, Dallas, Minnesota and St. Louis, will have their games streamed on Prime Video in their local markets, including pre- and post-game coverage.
"We're excited to build upon our strong relationship with the NHL and provide fans with more ways to connect with the local teams they love," said Charlie Neiman, Prime Video's head of sports partnerships. "We have firmly established Prime Video as a primary destination for sports and look forward to helping these teams broaden the reach and accessibility of their live games."
The NHL had already announced in July that it would produce games for the Hurricanes, Blue Jackets, Wild and Blues.
"Fans want an easy way to find and follow their favorite teams, and this agreement with Prime Video gives clubs the flexibility to meet that demand as the market evolves," said David Proper, the NHL's chief media officer and senior executive vice president. "Amazon has been a terrific partner to the NHL, and we're excited to expand our relationship as Prime Video grows its NHL offerings."
Amazon also agreed this summer to broadcast Wednesday night national regular-season games in Canada in both English and French.
