The St. Louis Blues enter the 2025–2026 NHL season looking to reassert themselves as one of the Western Conference’s most competitive clubs. It’s been a few years since their unforgettable 2019 Stanley Cup triumph, but the hunger in St. Louis hasn’t gone away.
This year’s roster has the makings of a classic Blues lineup. Captain Brayden Schenn leads the charge, with Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou providing speed and scoring punch. Pavel Buchnevich brings reliable two-way play, and defensemen like Colton Parayko and Cam Fowler give the back end both size and puck-moving ability.
Add in promising youngsters such as Jimmy Snuggerud, and the Blues have a lineup that blends proven veterans with future stars. It’s all worth catching on TV, which is why I’ve compiled this guide. Keep scrolling to learn how to watch St. Louis chase another deep playoff run.

The schedule is packed with must-watch matchups, from classic rivalry games against the Chicago Blackhawks to divisional clashes with the Colorado Avalanche.

Best TV plans for watching the St. Louis Blues
To watch the St. Louis Blues in the U.S., you’ll need access to both national and regional broadcasts. FanDuel Sports Network Midwest carries most regular-season games for fans in the local viewing region, while select matchups appear nationally on ESPN and TNT Sports channels/platforms.
If you’re a die-hard Blues fan who doesn’t want to miss a shift, a live TV streaming service that includes both the regional sports network and the national NHL broadcasters is a must. For fans in the local market, Stream with DIRECTV’s CHOICE package (or above) is a great option. It carries FDSMW, and you’ll even get ESPN Unlimited access for broader NHL coverage—including all out-of-market games.
On the other hand, Hulu + Live TV is an excellent pick for those outside the St. Louis market. It integrates the out-of-market ESPN+ coverage directly into its live TV menu, and you don’t have to pay a regional sports fee for channels you don’t want.
Canadian TV and Streaming Options
As someone in Canada who follows U.S.-based NHL teams, I can tell you that keeping up with the Blues can be a headache. That’s why I always recommend a Sportsnet+ Premium subscription as the simplest and most complete TV option. It streams every out-of-market game, putting the full Blues schedule on one platform so you’re not scrambling between different services.
To be a true completist, you’ll also want an Amazon Prime Video subscription. You can check Prime Video’s NHL schedule to see if and when the Blues will appear on Prime Monday Night Hockey this season. While it’s another subscription, it’s a necessary one if you don’t want to miss a single game.
How to watch the St. Louis Blues for free
While truly free viewing options are rare, you can always catch national NHL games airing on ABC with an over-the-air antenna. This old-school method is the simplest way to watch marquee matchups and playoff games at no cost. You’ll just want to use Antenna Direct’s TV Transmitter Locator to check that ABC is in your area.
You can also watch Blues games for free by taking advantage of trial offers from live TV streaming services. Platforms like DIRECTV, Fubo, and YouTube TV regularly have free trial periods that include the national NHL channels. You can also get limited-time access to the standalone FanDuel Sports Network app to sample local coverage before committing long-term.
How to watch the St. Louis Blues FAQ
How do I watch out-of-market Blues games?
If you live outside the Blues’ local broadcast region, your best out-of-market TV package is ESPN+ with NHL Power Play. The service streams all out-of-market games, including nearly every St. Louis matchup that airs on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest.
Does ESPN+ show every Blues game?
No, it doesn’t. While ESPN+ is a must-have for fans living outside the St. Louis broadcast region, it doesn't stream games that air locally or nationally. In short, ESPN+ is perfect for catching the Blues outside their TV territory, but you’ll still need a live TV provider to watch all the national games.
Can I get FanDuel Sports Network Midwest without cable?
Yes, FanDuel Sports Network Midwest (formerly Bally Sports Midwest) is available without cable on platforms like DIRECTV and Fubo. You can also get a standalone streaming subscription to the channel by heading to FanDuelSportsNetwork.com.
Can I watch the St. Louis Blues in Canada?
Absolutely. Canadian fans can catch the Blues on Sportsnet and TSN, which air select NHL matchups throughout the season—including Saturday broadcasts on Hockey Night in Canada. For full coverage, I’ve found Sportsnet+ Premium is the best choice for out-of-market access. Amazon Prime Video is also required whenever the Blues appear in its exclusive games.
Will the Blues be a playoff team this season?
The St. Louis Blues head into 2025–2026 as a classic bubble team. With Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou leading the offense, a strong supporting cast that includes Brayden Schenn and Pavel Buchnevich, and Jordan Binnington back in goal, there’s enough talent to push for a postseason spot. The key will be whether their younger players (like Jake Neighbours) can contribute consistently and give the lineup more scoring depth. The Central Division is one of the NHL’s toughest battlegrounds, with Colorado and Dallas setting a high bar and teams like Minnesota and Winnipeg scrapping for playoff positions. That means the margin for error is thin. If the Blues’ special teams improve and their defense holds steady, they have a strong chance to snag a wild-card berth. TLDR: St. Louis might not be a Cup favorite, but they’re very much in the mix. Blues fans should expect a season full of meaningful games right down to the wire.
