Multiple outlets report that CBC will not broadcast “Hockey Night in Canada” next season. Rogers Sportsnet and CBC issue a joint statement saying the public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL game broadcasts after the current agreement ends. “Hockey Night in Canada” has aired on CBC television for nearly 75 years, and the change marks the first time since the early 1950s that the program will not air on CBC. Several reports attribute the shift to the expiration of a sublicensing arrangement that allowed Rogers, which holds NHL broadcasting rights, to provide games to CBC for over-the-air viewers. The sub-licensing agreement between Rogers Communications and CBC is described as ending after the Stanley Cup playoffs, with the parties not reaching an extension for the 2026–27 season. Yahoo Sports and other accounts also link the timing to Rogers’ broader NHL broadcast-rights arrangement, which begins with the 2026–27 season. Overall coverage characterizes the development as a break in the long-running CBC–Sportsnet partnership for NHL broadcasts rather than a program cancellation.
