Nashville Predators Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026–27 Predators Season)

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

Regional Nashville Predators Games (FanDuel Sports South)

FanDuel Sports South holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the Nashville Predators (84 regular-season games) across Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia & Western Kentucky. If your US ZIP code falls inside the Nashville Predators local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via FanDuel Sports South.

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

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

When the Nashville Predators are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (2 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 Predators Fans: Use the US ZIP Code Lookup above to check your local market status. In-market ZIP codes (Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia & Western Kentucky) watch regional games on FanDuel Sports South; out-of-market US ZIP codes stream regional games on ESPN+.

Why are Nashville Predators games blacked out on ESPN+?

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

How do I watch Nashville Predators games if I live out of market in the US?
