For a franchise that spent years trying to turn a rebuild into real progress, the 2025–2026 season finally gave Flyers fans something tangible. Philadelphia returned to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2020, knocked out Pittsburgh in six games, and then ran into eventual champion Carolina in Round 2. That breakthrough changed the expectations for 2026–2027, as Matvei Michkov, Trevor Zegras, Porter Martone, and the rest of this young core try to turn one playoff run into something sustainable.
Fortunately, following this next step is straightforward since the core viewing setup remains mostly unchanged. NBC Sports Philadelphia stays as the primary regional home, while ESPN and TNT Sports continue to carry national broadcasts. With added spotlight on the team this season, the Flyers jump from 14 national appearances to 19 in 2026–2027.
That gives fans more big-stage matchups, but also a few more schedule twists when you want to watch Philadelphia Flyers games. Below, we’ll break down the full broadcast setup, complete TV schedule, and best options for in-market and out-of-market fans.
What channels have Philadelphia Flyers games?
Most Flyers games air locally on NBC Sports Philadelphia (NBCSP), with NBC Sports Philadelphia+ (NBCSP+) carrying select games when Flyers and 76ers schedules conflict. Outside the Flyers’ broadcast territory, most regional broadcasts stream on ESPN+ through NHL Power Play in the ESPN app or are available through NHL Center Ice.
The Flyers regularly appear in national broadcasts across traditional television and streaming platforms. You can catch these marquee matchups on ABC, ESPN, and TNT, with digital streams available through ESPN+, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max. Additional out-of-market games may also be added to the lineup on NHL Network as the season progresses.
Want radio coverage? 97.5 The Fanatic is the flagship station of the Flyers Broadcast Network, with select games moving to 93.3 WMMR. You can also stream the live play-by-play coverage nationwide on TuneIn Premium.
2026–2027 Philadelphia Flyers TV schedule
The Flyers’ expanded 84-game schedule runs from September 30 through April 10. Highlights include the franchise’s first regular-season game in September, a season-long five-game road trip from December 27 to January 4, and six straight Metropolitan Division matchups to close the season.
Keep scrolling for the complete game-by-game Flyers schedule with Eastern start times and U.S. TV or streaming information. We’ll update the table throughout the season if broadcast assignments change.

Best TV plans for watching the Philadelphia Flyers
Philadelphia is an exception to our typical regional-sports-network playbook because DIRECTV doesn’t carry NBC Sports Philadelphia. For local fans, that makes finding NBCSP and NBCSP+ the first priority before filling in Philadelphia’s national games.
Our three picks below cover different viewing needs. YouTube TV gives local fans the strongest all-around lineup, Peacock offers a slightly lower-cost route to NBC Sports Philadelphia, and ESPN Unlimited makes the most sense for out-of-market Flyers fans.
Best Overall
YouTube TV is our best all-around option for Philadelphia-area Flyers fans. It carries NBC Sports Philadelphia and NBC Sports Philadelphia+ in-market, along with ESPN, TNT, and ABC in applicable markets, while plans with ESPN now include integrated ESPN Unlimited access. That covers nearly every major piece of the Flyers’ viewing setup in one service, though NHL Network remains a notable omission.
Best for Local Streaming
If local Flyers games are your priority, Peacock offers a simpler alternative to a full live TV plan. Eligible in-market subscribers can add NBC Sports Philadelphia for $24.95 per month on top of a premium Peacock plan ($12.99–$19.99/mo.), providing the network’s 24/7 feed and live Flyers coverage. You’ll still need separate access for national games on ABC, ESPN, and TNT.
Best for Out-of-Market Fans
ESPN Unlimited is the most straightforward option for Flyers fans outside the team’s broadcast territory. It includes NHL Power Play through the ESPN app, plus ESPN, ESPN+, and ABC coverage. That said, you’ll need separate access for TNT, NHL Network, and games controlled by your local NHL broadcaster.
How to watch the Philadelphia Flyers FAQ
Can I watch Philadelphia Flyers games for free?
Yes, but only occasionally. You can watch ABC broadcast games for free with an over-the-air antenna, and select matchups will sometimes simulcast locally on NBC10. For cord-cutters, platforms like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV may offer free trials to eligible new subscribers.
How do I watch out-of-market Flyers games?
If you live outside the Flyers' broadcast territory, most NBC Sports Philadelphia games stream on ESPN+ through NHL Power Play in the ESPN app. NHL Center Ice is the traditional alternative for cable and satellite subscribers.
Can I stream NBC Sports Philadelphia without cable?
Yes. In-market viewers can get NBC Sports Philadelphia through YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV, while Peacock offers the network as a regional sports add-on to an eligible Peacock subscription.
Can I watch the Philadelphia Flyers in Canada?
Yes, Sportsnet+ Premium is the main streaming option for broad out-of-market Flyers coverage in Canada. Canada's national NHL package changed for 2026–2027, with Sportsnet retaining most national rights while Prime Video became the exclusive home of Wednesday Night Hockey, so the exact service can vary by matchup.
