Sixty-five Anaheim Ducks games will stay on free over-the-air television this season. The rest of the local schedule moves to Amazon.
The club announced on 2 September 2026 that the NHL and Prime Video have agreed to stream every regional Ducks game from the 2026-27 season on. That covers all games not picked up for national broadcast. In-market fans need only an Amazon Prime membership, with no extra subscription. In the first year of the agreement the club’s broadcast is free for Prime Video members.
Who can watch, and where
The streaming territory runs well beyond Orange County. Prime Video will carry the games for viewers in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, along with Hawaii. Games can be watched on the Prime Video app or the web, on phones, tablets, set-top boxes, game consoles and connected TVs.
For anyone who prefers a regular channel, 65 games stay on KCOP-13 or FOX 11. Those locally broadcast games remain available to 100% of the Los Angeles market.
Ducks President Aaron Teats said the club wanted fans across its whole television market to have a choice. “It was critical to provide our fans in our entire television market with a similar model to have Ducks games available via stream or over-the-air television,” he said.
Charlie Neiman, Prime Video’s head of sports partnerships, called the deal a build on Prime’s relationship with the league. “We have firmly established Prime Video as a primary destination for sports,” he said.
Fans outside the Ducks’ territory can still follow along through NHL Power Play on the ESPN App or NHL Center Ice.
A new Ducks-run network
The team is also starting its own multimedia broadcast network. Every game will be produced with NHL Productions, while the Ducks run the network’s production, distribution, sales and marketing. The league’s newly launched centralized production for regional broadcasts supplies the technical side: game production, graphics, replay capabilities and engineering support.
More details on television broadcasts will come later, the club said. The season opens Friday, Oct. 2, at the Vegas Golden Knights, with a 7 p.m. PT start.
