To stand out in the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” you have to be a winner. The Vegas Golden Knights are just that — and always have been. Through nine seasons of play, the team has made the playoffs eight times, won the Stanley Cup in 2023, and returned to the Stanley Cup Final last spring. Even more impressive to me, they’ve still never had a losing season.
The good news for fans is that the viewing setup doesn’t need much of a rebuild either. Most regional games remain free over the air on The Spot-Vegas 34 and other Scripps Sports affiliates, while KnightTime+ streams the same local package throughout the team’s television territory. National games are split between ESPN platforms and TNT Sports.
Now, let’s see if they can do it again this season. To help you watch Vegas Golden Knights games from the first puck drop to the final horn, I’ve updated this complete guide to their channels, TV schedule, and best streaming options.
What channels have Vegas Golden Knights games?
For fans in Southern Nevada, most regional Golden Knights games air free over the air on The Spot-Vegas 34, with other Scripps Sports affiliates carrying games elsewhere in the team’s television territory. Those same locally produced broadcasts stream on KnightTime+ for eligible fans in Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and select counties in California and Nebraska.
If you’re outside the Golden Knights’ home territory, regional broadcasts stream through NHL Power Play in the ESPN app with ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited, or are available through NHL Center Ice. Nationally exclusive matchups appear on ABC, ESPN, and TNT, with select games streaming on ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu.
Want radio coverage? Golden Knights games air locally on FOX Sports Las Vegas 94.7 FM/1340 AM, with additional stations carrying games throughout the VGK Radio Network.
2026–2027 Vegas Golden Knights TV schedule
Vegas doesn’t exactly ease into Season X. Marquee matchups include an opening-night test against Chicago on September 29 and a high-stakes Stanley Cup Final rematch with Carolina on December 21. The team also faces Dallas in an outdoor showdown at AT&T Stadium in the NHL Stadium Series.
To help you follow another championship push, I’ve laid out the complete Golden Knights schedule below with Eastern start times and currently announced U.S. viewing information. I’ll keep it updated if any game times or broadcast assignments change.

Best TV plans for watching the Vegas Golden Knights
The Golden Knights still have one of the NHL’s most flexible local viewing setups. If you live in the team’s TV territory, you can watch regional games for free through Scripps Sports affiliates or pay for KnightTime+ if streaming is more convenient. The nationally exclusive games are the piece that requires a separate TV or streaming plan.
I’ve narrowed down my recommendations to the three below. DIRECTV’s MySports Genre Pack is my favorite national-TV complement, KnightTime+ is still the easiest standalone choice for local streaming, and ESPN Unlimited makes the most sense for Golden Knights fans living outside the team’s broadcast territory.
Best Overall
DIRECTV’s MySports Genre Pack includes ESPN, TNT, truTV, NHL Network, and ABC in eligible markets, plus ESPN Unlimited access. Depending on your location and channel lineup, DIRECTV may also carry the local Scripps Sports affiliate airing Golden Knights games. If yours doesn’t, pair MySports with KnightTime+ or an over-the-air antenna for regional coverage without upgrading to one of DIRECTV’s larger Signature packages.
Best for Local Streaming
Put those swords away, Vegas fans. You don’t have to fight to watch your team play this year. KnightTime+ remains the easiest streaming option for local fans, with every Scripps Sports Golden Knights broadcast available for $69.99 for the season.
The service covers the team’s regional schedule throughout its television territory and now includes features like start-from-the-beginning viewing, live pausing and rewinding, and Google TV support. Just remember that nationally exclusive games on ESPN and TNT Sports aren’t included.
Best for Out-of-Market Fans
If you’re following Vegas from outside the team’s TV territory, ESPN Unlimited is my favorite place to start. NHL Power Play in the ESPN app carries the regional Golden Knights broadcasts out of market, while ESPN Unlimited also gives you ESPN, ESPN+, and ABC coverage.
It’s not a total one-stop shop, as you’ll still need separate access to TNT and NHL Network. But it’ll cover a huge chunk of the season without making you piece together a traditional cable package.
How to watch the Vegas Golden Knights FAQ
Can I watch Vegas Golden Knights games for free?

KnightTime+ is available within the Golden Knights' television territory, which includes Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and select counties in California and Nebraska. Utah is no longer part of the KnightTime+ territory.
