The NHL on TNT is an American presentation of National Hockey League (NHL) games produced by TNT Sports (formerly known as Turner Sports and later Warner Bros. Discovery Sports), and televised on TNT and streamed on Max in the United States.
In 2021, Turner Sports reached a seven-year contract[1] to serve as one of the two rightsholders of the NHL in the United States, alongside ESPN/ABC, with both replacing NBC Sports. TNT will hold rights "up to 72" nationally televised regular-season games per season,[2] the annual NHL Winter Classic game on New Year's Day, half of the Stanley Cup playoffs (airing on TNT and sister channel TBS), and hold rights to the Stanley Cup Finals in odd-numbered years.[3] The contract also includes an option for Max to carry and/or simulcast games.
Turner Sports has previously aired hockey, as the regional home for the Atlanta Flames and Atlanta Thrashers, and as the cable home for Olympic ice hockey from 1992–1998 for CBS. The formerly co-owned AT&T SportsNet regional sports networks also used to hold local rights until the 2022-23 season to the Pittsburgh Penguins (which went to SportsNet Pittsburgh), Seattle Kraken (which went to over the air channels KING-TV and KONG-TV), and Vegas Golden Knights (which went to over-the-air channel Vegas 34). However, Turner Sports had never had a national contract with the NHL until the current deal was reached.
Like other U.S. national NHL broadcasts, NHL on TNT games may be available in Canada on Sportsnet or streamed on Sportsnet+ as part of a 12-year agreement with the NHL that lasts to the end of the 2025–26 season, subject to blackout restrictions.
