Amazon, Rogers Communications, and the National Hockey League April 25 announced a two-year agreement in Canada to bring exclusive streaming-only access to Monday night NHL hockey on Prime Video.
“Prime Monday Night Hockey” will stream all national regular season Monday night NHL games in English for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 NHL seasons.
The deal is the NHL’s first exclusive national broadcast package with a digital-only streaming service in Canada. The live stream will feature a new broadcast team offering in-depth analysis and play-by-play coverage, and stream exclusively to Prime members in Canada.
The NHL’s current $5.2-billion, 12-year TV broadcasting deal with Rogers is set to expire after the 2025-26 season.
“Today’s content ecosystem is evolving, and we’re really pleased to work with Amazon to continue to grow the game and help hockey fans watch games when and where they want,” Colette Watson, president, Rogers Sports & Media, said in a statement.

Rogers and Prime Video already have a distribution deal via Sportsnet, which launched last year on Prime Video Channels in Canada. Today’s announcement builds on the current agreement between Rogers and the NHL that was announced in November 2013. Since 2021, the NHL has worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver new in-game analytics and video highlights to enhance fan experiences.
“We’re committed to driving more innovation for fans as we bring the NHL into more Canadian homes and across more devices on Monday nights than ever before,” Magda Grace, head of Prime Video, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, said in a statement.
Live hockey in Canada will join Prime Video’s exclusive access to NFL Thursday Night Football in the U.S., among other marquee events.
