Blues Announce Exciting New Broadcast Partnership with NHL for 2026-27 Season

Fans of the St. Louis Blues can look forward to an enhanced viewing experience in the 2026-27 season, thanks to a new partnership with the NHL aimed at producing the team’s regional broadcasts. This collaboration promises to maintain the familiarity that fans cherish while expanding the reach of Blues hockey.

As the Blues’ sales team actively markets advertising packages for the upcoming season, this partnership assures that the team will oversee all production, marketing, and distribution aspects of a new multimedia platform, details of which will be unveiled later. “This partnership is an ideal arrangement for the St. Louis Blues that leverages the production strength of the NHL while giving our organization more control over every aspect of our local broadcasts than ever before,” said Blues executive vice president, chief revenue and marketing officer Steve Chapman. He emphasized that this agreement marks a significant step towards providing fans with reliable access to Blues games.

The Blues are currently finalizing broadcast agreements to ensure fans can catch games through various platforms at launch, including cable, satellite, streaming services, and over-the-air providers. Information regarding availability, channel locations, and pricing for a direct-to-consumer streaming option, which will feature annual and monthly subscriptions, is under negotiation and will be announced before the season starts.

This NHL partnership is set to deliver approximately 70 local television telecasts for the Blues, covering every regular season game not nationally televised by NHL exclusive broadcast partners ABC, ESPN, ESPN+/Hulu, and TNT. For fans residing outside the Blues’ local broadcast territory, the NHL Power Play on ESPN+ will continue to provide live access to Blues games.

With the NHL’s Centralized Production capabilities now expanded to include multiple club local broadcasts, the Blues will benefit from comprehensive production services. These services encompass studio and show programming, premium game production, advanced graphics, replay capabilities, and essential technical and engineering support, ensuring a top-tier viewing experience for all fans.
