Hockey in Utah? That’s what many players, fans, and Beehive State residents asked themselves when the National Hockey League (NHL) added a new team in the Mountain West part of the United States. However, it didn’t take long for that initial surprise to quickly turn into excitement.
Six months after the team became official, Utah won the first game in franchise history to start the 2024 campaign. That win led to 37 more during a very successful debut season. Now the team takes the ice for year two with something new to cheer about—an official nickname: the Mammoth.
I love the nickname, and I think we’ll all enjoy the hockey the team plays this year. Here’s how you can watch the Utah Mammoth from the start of the preseason through the end of the regular season and playoffs!

What channels have Utah Mammoth games?
Most Utah Mammoth games will be locally broadcast this season on KUPX-TV (Utah 16), while also streaming behind a paywall on Mammoth+. When the team plays on national TV, games will air on ESPN, ESPN+, or TNT. But you’ll also want ABC and NHL Network for broader league coverage.
Fans outside of the Mammoth’s TV territory can watch games on ESPN+ (streaming) or with NHL Center Ice (cable/satellite).

Best TV plans for watching the Utah Mammoth
Since arriving in Utah in 2024, the passion for the Mammoth has only increased. I’ve seen it firsthand, which is why I expect attendance to be up this season and more eyes to be watching on TV.
If you’re like me and want to watch every game, a great TV setup is key. Here are the best viewing options to keep you in the action (and out of that I-15 traffic) on game day.
Mammoth+ ($14.99/mo.)
Local fans can watch more than 75 Utah games this season with Mammoth+ (formerly UtahHC+), the team’s exclusive direct-to-consumer (DTC) package. The service offers live and on-demand games, except for matchups that air on national channels.
With the annual plan coming in at $69.99, you’re paying less than a dollar per game. I don’t think you can ask for more value than that! Fans can also choose a monthly subscription to watch games, but it isn’t as budget-friendly as the yearly option.
If you also follow the Utah Jazz, you can opt for an annual SEG+ plan. The pricier subscription bundles Mammoth+ with Jazz+, giving you all in-market games for both teams in a single package.
Stream with DIRECTV ($89.99–$169.99/mo.)
For any fan seeking the most complete, all-in-one Utah Mammoth TV package, my top recommendation is DIRECTV. It includes every national and local channel you need to watch the Mammoth this season. You’ll even get the new ESPN Unlimited package, which gives you full access to ESPN+ (via the ESPN app) for all of its exclusive games and out-of-market coverage.
The only downside is the price. If you want NHL Network in your channel lineup, you’ll need DIRECTV’s ULTIMATE plan—one of its more expensive options. But if you’re willing to sacrifice that channel, DIRECTV becomes much more affordable.
How to watch the Utah Mammoth for free
†CableTV.com utilizes paid Amazon links. Amazon.com Price; $46.99 (as of 7/25/25 11:20 a.m. CT). Read full disclaimer.
