Canadian hockey fans will have one less place to watch NHL games this season.

After several years of offering NHL content through its platform, DAZN will no longer carry NHL games in Canada, marking another major shift in the league’s broadcasting landscape. The change comes as Rogers and Amazon Prime Video begin a new era of NHL coverage, giving fans another streaming service to consider heading into the 2026-27 season.

Why Is the NHL Leaving DAZN?

DAZN’s Canadian NHL offering has come to an end as the league’s Canadian media rights continue under Rogers’ long-term agreement.

Rather than renewing NHL availability on DAZN, Rogers has expanded its distribution strategy through a landmark partnership with Amazon Prime Video, which officially enters the NHL broadcasting picture this season.

That means Canadian fans who previously relied on DAZN will need to look elsewhere to stream games.

Where Can Canadians Watch NHL Games Now?

The good news is that hockey isn’t becoming harder to find—it is simply moving.

For the 2026-27 season:

• Sportsnet remains the primary home for national NHL broadcasts in Canada.
• Sportsnet+ continues to stream out-of-market games and provides access to most national broadcasts.
• Amazon Prime Video becomes the exclusive home of Wednesday Night Hockey and will also carry select Stanley Cup Playoff games under the new agreement.

For many fans, it means another streaming subscription if they want access to every nationally televised game throughout the season.

What About NHL.TV?

This is where many fans are understandably confused.

Although NHL games are disappearing from DAZN Canada, NHL.TV continues to exist internationally through DAZN in many countries outside Canada, the United States and other protected broadcast regions.

In other words:

• DAZN Canada: No NHL.
• International DAZN markets: NHL.TV remains available in many regions.

That distinction has led to plenty of confusion online since the announcements were made.

Another Change in How Fans Watch Hockey

The NHL has steadily shifted toward a streaming-first approach over the past several years.

Traditional cable remains important, but major technology companies are becoming increasingly involved in live sports. Amazon’s expanded NHL partnership follows similar investments in the NFL, NBA and other professional leagues.

For fans, that means more viewing options—but it can also mean managing multiple subscriptions throughout the season.

What This Means Going Forward

If you’ve been opening DAZN every hockey season, you’ll need a new plan before opening night.

The biggest takeaway is simple:

• DAZN is no longer an option for NHL fans in Canada.
• Sportsnet remains the primary destination.
• Amazon Prime Video now becomes a major part of the weekly NHL schedule.

As the NHL continues embracing streaming platforms, fans should expect broadcasting rights to keep evolving over the coming years.
