The world of professional hockey is undergoing a significant shift. Just days after the excitement of the 2025 NHL Draft in Los Angeles, Commissioner Gary Bettman has unveiled a move that’s sending ripples through the broadcasting landscape.
For years, the NHL has been navigating the evolving media landscape, and now, a major strategic partnership is poised to reshape how fans around the globe experience the sport. While traditional television has long been the cornerstone of NHL viewership, a new era of digital accessibility is rapidly approaching.
This isn’t just about incremental change; it represents a bold step towards a future where online streaming takes center stage.
The announcement, made Wednesday morning, involves a key player already familiar to many sports enthusiasts – a name synonymous with premium sports content and a growing global presence. Get ready to rethink where and how you’ll be watching your favorite teams, as the NHL prepares to embrace a new chapter in its broadcasting history.

Gary Bettman and the National Hockey League have just announced a major change regarding the broadcasting of NHL games on television.
NFL football fans, in particular, are already very familiar with DAZN. Well, now NHL hockey is officially coming to DAZN. This is a big deal.
DAZN Signs a Deal with Gary Bettman and the NHL to Stream Games Online
This, of course, includes Montreal Canadiens games, but they will only be accessible to fans outside of Canada (and the United States).
The NHL announced Wednesday morning an agreement with DAZN to stream its games starting in the 2025-26 season.
This agreement does not apply to the Canadian market.
However, nearly 200 countries – excluding Canada, the United States, and the Nordic countries – will have access to NHL games.”

Stanley Cup Playoff games will also be broadcast on the platform.
Well, anything is possible in 2025 (as you know), but technically, fans of the Montreal Canadiens and the NHL will be able to watch their favorite team’s games on DAZN – only outside of the countries mentioned above.
This could be useful for those who are tech-savvy, or simply for fans who are traveling and still want to catch NHL games.
It can only be a good thing – and one thing is certain, it also shows Gary Bettman’s increasing commitment to moving NHL game broadcasts more and more online.
