Canadian telecom giant Rogers Communications and Amazon's Prime Video have signed a 12-year sublicensing agreement for National Hockey League (NHL) broadcast rights in Canada.
The deal grants Prime Video exclusive rights to broadcast Wednesday night national NHL games in Canada, starting with the 2026-27 season. It also includes exclusive rights to select Stanley Cup playoff series, expanding Prime Video's NHL offering in the country.
Minimum number of regular-season games per year under the sublicensing deal, starting September 30, 2026.
The agreement builds on a broader 12-year national media-rights renewal Rogers secured last year, covering the 2026-27 through 2037-38 seasons. Under that renewal, Rogers' Sportsnet retains exclusive English-language rights to more than 500 national NHL games per season, including most playoff coverage.
Financial terms of the sublicensing deal were not disclosed. Rogers' stock rose 5% following the announcement.
The move reflects a growing trend of streaming platforms investing heavily in live sports rights. Rogers, one of Canada's largest sports media companies with major broadcasting rights and ownership stakes in leading professional franchises, continues to leverage its NHL rights through strategic sublicensing.
