Where can I watch NHL games without cable in Canada?

In Canada, the main ways to watch NHL games without cable are:

1) Sportsnet+
This is one of the main streaming options for NHL fans in Canada. It carries a lot of NHL coverage, and the higher tier is typically the better option if you want more out-of-market games. Blackout rules still apply, so the exact games you can watch depend on your location.

2) TSN+
Useful for regional NHL games carried by TSN, especially for teams whose local rights are with TSN. If you’re in a team’s home market, this may be the service you need for those local broadcasts.

3) Amazon Prime Video
Some NHL games in Canada have streamed on Prime Video in recent seasons, including Monday-night coverage in some seasons. Check the current season schedule, because rights and availability can change.

4) CBC Gem
CBC’s free streaming option can carry Hockey Night in Canada and some playoff coverage, but availability can vary by game and season.

Best practical approach:

• If you want the broadest NHL coverage without cable, start with Sportsnet+.
• If you follow a specific local team, check whether their regional games are on TSN+ or Sportsnet+ in your area.
• For free or low-cost viewing, check CBC Gem and Amazon Prime Video for the current season’s schedule.

Important: NHL streaming rights and blackout rules can change, so before subscribing, use the official schedule or viewing tools on Sportsnet, TSN, CBC, and Prime Video to confirm which games are available in your region.
