Rogers Communications and Amazon’s Prime Video announce a 12-year sublicensing agreement for NHL broadcasting rights in Canada. The deal makes Prime Video the exclusive home for the NHL’s Wednesday Night Hockey regular-season national games in Canada, with coverage in both English and French. Multiple outlets report that Prime Video also receives rights to stream select early-round Stanley Cup Playoff series during the term of the agreement.
The Athletic reports the arrangement covers at least 26 national regular-season games. Financial Post and Globe and Mail similarly describe the long-term nature of the contract and Prime Video’s exclusivity for the Wednesday night slate. Channel NewsAsia and other coverage align on the core terms: the 12-year duration, Prime Video’s exclusive regular-season Wednesday Night Hockey rights, bilingual availability, and Prime Video’s inclusion of certain early playoff series.
The announcements position Prime Video as a major Canadian NHL streaming platform under the agreement, with Rogers acting as the rights holder providing sublicensing to Prime Video.
