The Philadelphia Flyers are trying to claw their way back into NHL relevance after a long stretch of ups and downs. With a passionate fan base and a front office led by General Manager Daniel Brière and President of Hockey Operations Keith Jones, the team has made it clear that they’re committed to building a new core around young talent like Matvei Michkov, Tyson Foerster, and Jamie Drysdale.
Flyers fans know this rebuild hasn’t been easy, with flashes of the old “Broad Street Bullies” swagger mixed with plenty of growing pains. What makes Philadelphia so fascinating this season is the blend of that young core with veterans like Travis Konecny and flashy newcomer Trevor Zegras. The big question is whether they can finally take the next step.
Of course, actually keeping up with the team on TV can be tricky. To help you watch Philadelphia Flyers hockey all season, I’ve broken down every channel and service you’ll need. From local games on NBC Sports Philadelphia to national broadcasts, here’s your complete viewing guide.

What channels have Philadelphia Flyers games?
Most Philadelphia Flyers games air on NBC Sports Philadelphia (NBCSP). If you live in the Flyers’ TV market, make sure your cable or streaming plan includes the regional sports network to catch nearly every game.
Select matchups also appear on national outlets like ESPN, TNT, and ABC throughout the season. For out-of-market fans, ESPN+ is your go-to option, streaming nearly every non-national Flyers game live and on demand.
Want radio coverage? Flyers games air on 97.5 The Fanatic (WPEN-FM) in Philadelphia. Fans can also listen online through the station’s website and mobile app.
Flyers channels for Canadian fans
If you’re watching the Flyers from Canada, most games will air on Sportsnet or TSN, depending on regional broadcast rights. U.S. national broadcasts on ESPN, TNT, or ABC typically appear on Sportsnet or Sportsnet ONE.
For out-of-market coverage, Sportsnet+ Premium is the most convenient option because it carries Sportsnet’s NHL rights and manages regional blackouts. Beginning with the 2024–2025 season, Canadian fans also get access to Monday Night Hockey through Amazon Prime Video, which exclusively streams every national Monday night NHL game in English. That means if the Flyers are scheduled for a Monday night matchup, you can stream it at no extra cost with your Prime Video membership.
2025–2026 Philadelphia Flyers TV schedule
The Flyers’ 2025–2026 schedule is loaded with intrigue. You’ve got critical divisional clashes in the always-tough Metropolitan Division and nationally televised games that will test the team’s young core. Fans will want to circle marquee matchups against rivals like the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers.
With 82 games spread across NBC Sports Philadelphia and national networks, there’s no shortage of can’t-miss hockey. Below, you’ll find the complete TV schedule with start times and channel listings so you can follow every moment of the Flyers’ season.

Best TV plans for watching the Philadelphia Flyers
Flyers coverage in the United States
This season, local Flyers fans need a TV plan that covers both in-market games on NBC Sports Philadelphia and the national broadcasts. After testing all the options, I’ve narrowed it down to two top-tier recommendations: a fantastic all-in-one package and a great, budget-friendly standalone option.
My pick for the best all-in-one package is Hulu + Live TV. It’s actually a rare TV plan that works for in-market and out-of-market fans. If you’re in the Philly area, you’ll get NBC Sports Philadelphia plus the national NHL channels. If you’re outside the region, the included ESPN Unlimited access gets you all the out-of-market games on ESPN+.
Local cord-cutters who don’t want a live TV plan have a fantastic standalone option: Peacock’s NBC Sports RSN add-on. For less than half the cost of Hulu + Live TV, in-market fans can get a direct stream of NBC Sports Philadelphia on top of a Peacock Premium subscription. The best part? It also includes local 76ers and Phillies broadcasts, making it an incredible value for any Philly sports fan.
Canadian TV and streaming options
For Canadian fans, the simplest way to follow the Flyers all season is with a Sportsnet+ Premium subscription. This plan includes the NHL’s out-of-market streaming package in Canada, and it’ll give you access to nearly every Flyers game. Just be aware that if the Flyers are playing your local Canadian team (like the Maple Leafs or Canadiens), that specific game will be blacked out, and you’ll need to watch on your regional channel.
A handful of high-profile Flyers games may also appear on Canada’s national hockey broadcasts, like Sportsnet’s Wednesday Night Hockey or CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. Additionally, don’t forget that Amazon Prime Video is the exclusive home for Monday night NHL games in Canada.
How to watch the Philadelphia Flyers for free
Catching the Flyers doesn’t always have to cost you. You can watch select NHL games for free on ABC using an over-the-air antenna, as long as you live near a local affiliate. An antenna is a one-time purchase that gives you access to local broadcast networks without a monthly fee.
Live TV streaming services like Fubo and YouTube TV also offer free trial periods that include NBC Sports Philadelphia, ESPN, and TNT—perfect for following the Flyers at no cost for a limited time. Just be sure to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to be charged.
Pro tip for Canadian fans: Your best free viewing option is to stream Hockey Night in Canada games on CBC Gem. You can also take advantage of free trial offers from streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Sportsnet+, and TSN+.
How to watch the Philadelphia Flyers FAQ
How can I watch the Flyers if I’m outside the Philadelphia area?
For U.S. fans living out of market, ESPN+ is the easiest way to follow the team and watch most games. You’ll also need a live TV plan with channels like ABC, ESPN, and TNT for national games. My top provider recommendation is Hulu + Live TV, as it conveniently bundles both.
Are all Flyers games on ESPN+?
No, ESPN+ carries every out-of-market Flyers game that isn’t already on a national TV channel. But if you live inside the Philadelphia TV territory, the Flyers’ core NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcasts will be blacked out. Still, ESPN+ does have on-demand replays of all NHL games after they air.
Can I stream NBC Sports Philadelphia without cable?
Yes, cord-cutters in the Philly area have two great cable-free viewing options. You can get NBC Sports Philadelphia through a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV, or you can subscribe to it as a standalone add-on through Peacock Premium.
Who are the TV announcers for the Philadelphia Flyers?
The broadcast booth for Flyers games on NBC Sports Philadelphia features longtime play-by-play announcer Jim Jackson. He’s joined by former Flyers players Brian Boucher and Scott Hartnell, who share analyst duties.
Will the Flyers be any better in 2025-2026?
The Flyers are still in the middle of a rebuild, but there’s genuine reason for optimism heading into the 2025–2026 season. Top young talents like Matvei Michkov, who is entering his second NHL season, along with Tyson Foerster and Jamie Drysdale, are expected to be key players. If they develop as hoped, Philadelphia’s roster could look much more competitive by year’s end. Veteran leaders such as Travis Konecny and Sean Couturier will be counted on to provide stability, while the team’s goaltending—led by Samuel Ersson and Ivan Fedotov—will need to hold steady against tough Metropolitan Division competition. The Flyers aren’t projected to be immediate Stanley Cup contenders, but fans should see progress compared to recent seasons. The big question is how quickly the young players adapt and whether that translates into a climb up the standings.
