Vegas Golden Knights Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026β27 Golden Knights Season)
Following the Vegas Golden Knights regular season across the United States requires understanding how NHL broadcast territory rights are split between regional sports networks and national streaming partners. For Vegas Golden Knights fans, games are divided across Scripps Sports, ESPN+, ESPN/ABC, TNT, and NHL Network.
Regional Vegas Golden Knights Games (Scripps Sports)
Scripps Sports holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the Vegas Golden Knights (71 regular-season games) across Nevada, Arizona & Idaho. If your US ZIP code falls inside the Vegas Golden Knights local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via Scripps Sports.
If you live outside the Vegas Golden Knights local broadcast territory in the US, regional Golden Knights games stream live on ESPN+ (unless the Vegas Golden Knights are playing an opponent whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code).
National Golden Knights Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT & NHL Network)
When the Vegas Golden Knights 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.
