The hockey calendar used to be simple: Saturday was for Hockey Night in Canada, and weekdays were mostly regional games. That changed in the 2024–2025 season with the arrival of Prime Monday Night Hockey, and now the Monday showcase is changing homes again.
Starting with the 2026–2027 season, Monday Night Hockey is exclusive to Sportsnet+ in Canada. Prime Video has shifted its national NHL package to Wednesday nights, while Sportsnet+ now carries more than 50 Monday matchups featuring Canadian teams.
Fortunately, you can still watch Monday Night Hockey with relative ease. Every Sportsnet+ subscription includes the weekly showcase, while some TV-provider customers can access it through their existing Sportsnet setup or an additional Sportsnet+ add-on.

What channel shows Monday Night Hockey?
Sportsnet+ is the only place to watch the English-language Monday Night Hockey presentation in Canada. Despite the Sportsnet name, these games are exclusive to the streaming service — not the traditional Sportsnet TV channels.
All direct Sportsnet+ subscribers get Monday Night Hockey with either the Standard or Premium plan. If you already receive Sportsnet through a participating TV provider, you can add Sportsnet+’s exclusive content for $12.99 a month. Rogers, Rogers West, and Shaw Direct customers who have Sportsnet in their TV package get this content without purchasing the add-on.
2026–2027 Monday Night Hockey TV schedule
Monday Night Hockey airs throughout the NHL regular season, starting October 5 and continuing into April. Some Mondays feature one matchup, while others have multiple games spread across the evening.
David Amber hosts Sportsnet’s dedicated Monday presentation alongside analysts Luke Gazdic and Justin Williams. The Monday lineup features a mix of rivalry games and cross-conference matchups throughout the season. As a die-hard Boston Bruins follower, I’ll be especially interested whenever an Atlantic Division matchup lands in the national window.
To help you plan your Mondays, I’ve compiled the complete Monday Night Hockey TV schedule in the table below.
Best TV plans for watching Monday Night Hockey
This is still probably one of the easiest “How To Watch” sections I’ll ever write because the answer is simple: You need access to Sportsnet+. Both Sportsnet+ plans include the complete Monday Night Hockey package.
Sportsnet+ Standard is all you need if Monday Night Hockey is your main priority. Premium costs more but adds broader NHL access, including out-of-market Canadian team games.
There’s also another option if you already get Sportsnet through a participating TV provider. A Sportsnet+ add-on unlocks Monday Night Hockey and other streaming-exclusive games, while eligible Rogers, Rogers West, and Shaw Direct customers get that access through their existing Sportsnet package.
Sportsnet+ plans and prices
| Plan | Price | Monday Night Hockey? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sportsnet+ Standard | $34.99/mo. or $269.99/yr. | Yes | Monday Night Hockey and Sportsnet's core streaming coverage |
| Sportsnet+ Premium | $44.99/mo. or $344.99/yr. | Yes | Fans who also want broader NHL and out-of-market coverage |
| TV provider add-on | $12.99/mo. | Yes | Eligible Sportsnet TV subscribers who need streaming-exclusive content |
How to watch Monday Night Hockey for free
Unlike the Prime Video setup, there’s no standard free trial to lean on for Monday Night Hockey this season. Sportsnet+ doesn’t currently advertise a permanent free viewing option, so you should expect to need an eligible subscription or TV-provider setup.
Sportsnet may offer promotional trials from time to time, so it’s worth checking the current signup offers before paying. And if you already have Sportsnet through a traditional TV provider, Monday Night Hockey may be included with your existing TV package at no additional charge.
Pro tip: Prefer to catch the game with a crowd? Monday Night Hockey is still available at bars and restaurants. You can use the Premium Sports’ Bar Finder tool to find a local venue that’s licensed to show Prime Hockey.
How to watch Monday Night Hockey FAQ
Can I watch Monday Night Hockey replays on demand?
Yes. Sportsnet+ has a Replays section for completed games, although replay availability can vary by league and event.
How do I watch Monday Night Hockey in French?
Monday Night Hockey on Sportsnet+ is part of Sportsnet's English-language national coverage. TVA Sports and TVA Sports Direct hold Canada's French-language national NHL rights, so check their schedules for French coverage of a specific Monday matchup.
Can I watch Monday Night Hockey in the U.S.?
No, the Sportsnet+ Monday Night Hockey presentation is available in Canada. In the U.S., the same matchup follows its separate American broadcast rights. Depending on the game and your location, that may mean a local broadcaster, a national network, or NHL Power Play on ESPN+ in the ESPN app for eligible out-of-market games.
Is Monday Night Hockey blacked out in my area?
Monday Night Hockey is national Sportsnet+ content rather than a regional broadcast. Sportsnet+ still applies regional restrictions to other NHL games, so don't assume that every game available through the service is blackout-free.
