HockeyTV & Streaming Schedule

How to Watch Live Hockey? (Available Streaming Options for 2026)

Hockey is extremely popular in the USA, Canada, and certain European countries. Even though the streaming landscape seems fragmented, the options are actually quite clear. We will present below the most popular streaming services for the world's most important hockey leagues.

NHL Live Streaming

The NHL (USA) is by far the most well-known national hockey league. In the USA, ESPN+ streams the vast majority of matches, alongside TNT/TBS. fuboTV is a good option because it carries Regional Sports Networks (RSNs), making local team games more accessible in their respective locations.

In Canada, Sportsnet+ streams with English commentary, while TVA Sports handles the French commentary. Prime Video has also entered this space and streams Monday night games.

For the rest of the world, NHL.tv (operated by DAZN) is the best streaming option. However, pay attention: in countries where the NHL has separate deals (Northern Europe and parts of Central Europe), you will need to use the local operator.

In Latin America, the NHL can be streamed via Disney+. Also, in many countries across the world some NHL matches are available through bookmakers live streaming services.

The Other Hockey Leagues (SHL, Liiga, DEL, NL, KHL)

And now, let's see how those in the USA or other parts of the world can watch matches from Europe's major leagues.

For the SHL (Sweden), there is FloHockey, which streams over 100 matches from this championship. For those in other countries, the best option remains the one via betting sites. In fact, this option is probably (still) the best when it comes to sports streaming in general. You can find all the matches in the schedule on our site, but watch out for geolocation and blackouts.

Probably the strongest hockey league in Europe is the KHL (Russia), which has its own streaming service (KHL App). Similarly, the Swiss hockey league (NL) offers the NL TV Pass service for fans outside of Switzerland.

The German league (DEL) offers the same type of global subscription through Sportdeutschland.TV.

The Czech Extraliga recently has a dedicated service called EuropeanIceHockey.tv (operated by Sportway), which is aimed at a global audience.

The Finnish league (Liiga), one of the most important in Europe, is available locally through MTV Katsomo, but globally it can mainly be watched via betting sites.

Other Competitions (IIHF World Championship, Champions Hockey League)

These international competitions can be viewed in the US via NHL Network and ESPN+ (only partially), and in Canada via TSN. In Europe, Viaplay and Sportdeutschland.TV offer access, while globally - where rights haven't been sold - you can use the IIHF.tv service.

But even in this category, you guessed it, you can use betting sites. Throughout our short guides for each sport, you will notice the recurrence of this option. Not because we particularly want to promote it, but because it truly is the best method to watch live sports streaming.
