Florida Panthers Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026–27 Panthers Season)

Following the Florida Panthers regular season across the United States requires understanding how NHL broadcast territory rights are split between regional sports networks and national streaming partners. For Florida Panthers fans, games are divided across Scripps Sports, ESPN+, ESPN/ABC, TNT, and NHL Network.

Regional Florida Panthers Games (Scripps Sports)

Scripps Sports holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the Florida Panthers (72 regular-season games) across South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers & Naples). If your US ZIP code falls inside the Florida Panthers local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via Scripps Sports.

If you live outside the Florida Panthers local broadcast territory in the US, regional Panthers games stream live on ESPN+ (unless the Florida Panthers are playing an opponent whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code).

National Panthers Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT & NHL Network)

When the Florida Panthers are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (14 games), the broadcast is blacked out on ESPN+ nationwide unless simulcast on ABC/ESPN+.

Viewers both in-market and out-of-market need access to the designated national television channel or streaming tier (such as Max for TNT simulcasts) to watch these national exclusives.

Quick Summary for Panthers Fans: Use the US ZIP Code Lookup above to check your local market status. In-market ZIP codes (South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers & Naples)) watch regional games on Scripps Sports; out-of-market US ZIP codes stream regional games on ESPN+.

Blackout Rules & FAQ

Game Type Network Blackout Status
Regional (In-Market ZIP) Scripps Sports Blacked Out on ESPN+ (Watch on Scripps Sports)
Regional (Out-of-Market ZIP) ESPN+ Stream on ESPN+ (Unless Opponent Is Local to Your ZIP)
US National Exclusive ESPN / ABC / TNT / NHL Network Requires National Channel (Unless ABC/ESPN+ Simulcast)

Why are Florida Panthers games blacked out on ESPN+?

ESPN+ only carries out-of-market NHL games. If you live inside the Florida Panthers local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched on Scripps Sports. Additionally, any game airing nationally on ESPN, ABC, TNT, or NHL Network is blacked out on ESPN+ nationwide unless explicitly simulcast.

What channel broadcasts regional Florida Panthers games in-market?

In-market regional Florida Panthers games are carried by Scripps Sports. Viewers inside the designated local broadcast territory need cable, satellite, a live TV streamer, or a direct-to-consumer RSN subscription that includes Scripps Sports.

How do I watch Florida Panthers games if I live out of market in the US?

Out-of-market fans in the United States can stream regional Florida Panthers games live on ESPN+ (carrying both the Scripps Sports feed and the opponent feed), except when the Florida Panthers play a team whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code or when the game airs exclusively on a national network.
