The National Hockey League (NHL) and the sports streaming provider DAZN have announced a pioneering, multi-year strategic partnership today. The focus of the cooperation is the integration of NHL.TV-the official streaming platform of the league-into the DAZN offer. From the 2025/26 season, NHL.TV will be available exclusively via DAZN in around 200 countries.
With the change, DAZN becomes a new home for all NHL games outside of North America and the Nordic countries. Fans can look forward to live streams and on-demand offers of all encounters-including the prestigious Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Stanley Cup final. Existing subscribers from NHL.TV should receive further information on the migration of their accounts in the coming months.
In the future, NHL.TV will be available on the DAZN platform either as an independent subscription or as a supplementary option for existing DAZN packages-except for the US, Canada and Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The offer can be used on all common devices, including smart TVs, smartphones, tablets and game consoles.
DAZN continues to expand multisport platform
With the integration of NHL.TV, DAZN strengthens its position as a global multisport platform. The streaming service is already offering formats such as the NFL Game Pass, the PGA Tour Pass or Fiba Courtside 1891 and has more than 120 million registered sports fans worldwide. The partnership with the NHL is expanding the offer with another internationally popular sport.
Thanks to the technical infrastructure, global reach and marketing skills of DAZN, access to NHL content should become easier, more flexible and more attractive-especially for international fans who will be able to pursue their favorite teams even more comfortably in the future.
The new cooperation marks an important step for both partners: For the NHL, it means strengthening its global visibility, while DAZN is further expanding its portfolio with one of the most traditional leagues in US sports.
