Rogers Communications and Quebecor announce a new 12-year sublicensing agreement covering French-language national NHL games, starting with the 2026–27 season. The arrangement sets rules for how games are distributed to French-language broadcasters affiliated with the partners.
Both outlets report that TVA Sports is set to air a large slate of regular-season national NHL games each year, with the total described as up to 350 games per season. The coverage includes French-language broadcasts of specified national matchups, with the Canadiens noted for a set number of regular-season games and with the rights for French-language Stanley Cup Playoffs games also included.
The sources provide largely overlapping details about the scope and duration of the deal, but they emphasize different package elements and how the broadcasting inventory is allocated. Financial Post highlights the structure and franchise-specific regular-season allocation, while Globe and Mail focuses on the headline agreement terms and the maximum number of regular-season games available under the sublicensing model.
