Los Angeles Kings Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026–27 Kings Season)

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

Regional Los Angeles Kings Games (FanDuel Sports West)

FanDuel Sports West holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the Los Angeles Kings (80 regular-season games) across Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego) & Hawaii. If your US ZIP code falls inside the Los Angeles Kings local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via FanDuel Sports West.

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

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

When the Los Angeles Kings are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (5 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 Kings Fans: Use the US ZIP Code Lookup above to check your local market status. In-market ZIP codes (Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego) & Hawaii) watch regional games on FanDuel Sports West; out-of-market US ZIP codes stream regional games on ESPN+.

Blackout Rules & FAQ

Why are Los Angeles Kings games blacked out on ESPN+?

ESPN+ only carries out-of-market NHL games. If you live inside the Los Angeles Kings local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched on FanDuel Sports West. 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 Los Angeles Kings games in-market?

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

How do I watch Los Angeles Kings games if I live out of market in the US?

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