Philadelphia Flyers Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026β27 Flyers Season)
Following the Philadelphia Flyers regular season across the United States requires understanding how NHL broadcast territory rights are split between regional sports networks and national streaming partners. For Philadelphia Flyers fans, games are divided across NBC Sports Philadelphia, ESPN+, ESPN/ABC, TNT, and NHL Network.
Regional Philadelphia Flyers Games (NBC Sports Philadelphia)
NBC Sports Philadelphia holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the Philadelphia Flyers (71 regular-season games) across Eastern & Central Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg), South Jersey & Delaware. If your US ZIP code falls inside the Philadelphia Flyers local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via NBC Sports Philadelphia.
If you live outside the Philadelphia Flyers local broadcast territory in the US, regional Flyers games stream live on ESPN+ (unless the Philadelphia Flyers are playing an opponent whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code).
National Flyers Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT & NHL Network)
When the Philadelphia Flyers are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (18 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.
