New Jersey Devils Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026β27 Devils Season)
Following the New Jersey Devils regular season across the United States requires understanding how NHL broadcast territory rights are split between regional sports networks and national streaming partners. For New Jersey Devils fans, games are divided across MSG Sportsnet, ESPN+, ESPN/ABC, TNT, and NHL Network.
Regional New Jersey Devils Games (MSG Sportsnet)
MSG Sportsnet holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the New Jersey Devils (78 regular-season games) across Northern & Central New Jersey, NYC Metro & Hudson Valley. If your US ZIP code falls inside the New Jersey Devils local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via MSG Sportsnet.
If you live outside the New Jersey Devils local broadcast territory in the US, regional Devils games stream live on ESPN+ (unless the New Jersey Devils are playing an opponent whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code).
National Devils Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT & NHL Network)
When the New Jersey Devils are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (10 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.
