NHL, DAZN Sign Global Streaming Partnership

The NHL has signed a multi-year partnership making DAZN the exclusive international streaming home for NHL.TV in nearly 200 countries starting with the 2025-26 season, excluding the U.S., Canada, and Nordic countries. The agreement allows fans in eligible regions to stream every NHL game, including the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Final, both live and on-demand on various devices, via standalone subscription or as a DAZN add-on. Blackout restrictions will apply in certain regions, but all games will be available on demand after airing. The league aims to leverage DAZN’s technology and marketing to expand its global reach, especially since 30% of NHL players are born outside North America. NHL officials and DAZN’s CEO underscored the strategic importance of the deal, which brings NHL.TV into DAZN’s portfolio alongside NFL Game Pass and PGA Tour Pass. Financial terms and the exact duration of the deal were not disclosed, and existing NHL.TV subscribers will receive migration details in the coming months.
