Rogers Communications and Prime Video have announced a 12-year sublicensing agreement for NHL rights in Canada, marking a major shift in how some games will be delivered to Canadian viewers. The deal makes Prime Video the exclusive long-term home of regular-season Wednesday Night Hockey in Canada.
The agreement also includes select early-round Stanley Cup Playoff series. According to the announcement, those playoff games will be available in both English and French, expanding the package across Canada’s two main broadcast languages.
The new arrangement highlights the growing role of streaming in live sports, especially for premium hockey content. By placing Wednesday Night Hockey and part of the playoff schedule on Prime Video, Rogers and Prime Video are positioning the service as a key destination for NHL coverage in Canada over the long term.
For fans, the Rogers Prime Video NHL Canada rights deal means a new exclusive platform for one regular-season night each week and certain early playoff matchups. The 12-year term also signals a long-range commitment to digital NHL distribution in Canada.
