亚马逊Prime Video与Rogers Communications达成12年转播协议，将在加拿大独家直播NHL周三晚间全国常规赛和部分季后赛系列赛[1]。这项协议是Rogers与NHL之间110亿美元、12年转播权交易的一部分[1]，从2024年9月30日下赛季开始执行[1]。
根据协议条款，Prime Video每赛季至少直播26场全国常规赛[1]，并获得季后赛的部分播映权，包括8支首轮系列赛中的第4、5选择权，以及4支第二轮系列赛中的第3选择权[1]。Prime Video全球体育主管Jay Marine表示："我们很高兴能与NHL和Rogers扩大合作伙伴关系，这项具有里程碑意义的协议为加拿大的Prime会员提供了更多优质直播体育内容"[1]。
此外，长期播出NHL赛事的加拿大公共广播节目《冰球之夜》（Hockey Night in Canada）将在2025-26赛季后结束在公共广播中的播出，因为CBC与Rogers不续约[1]。
Amazon Prime Video has secured rights to broadcast NHL Wednesday night regular season games and select playoff series in Canada as part of a 12-year agreement with Rogers Communications [1]. The deal, which extends through the 2037-38 season, represents a component of Rogers' broader 11-billion-dollar, 12-year broadcasting rights arrangement with the NHL [1].
Beginning on September 30, 2024, Prime Video will stream a minimum of 26 nationally televised regular season games each season [1]. Additionally, the service has been granted selection rights to the fourth and fifth games of eight first-round playoff series, as well as the third game of four second-round series [1]. Jay Marine, global head of sports for Prime Video, stated: "We're thrilled to expand our partnership with the NHL and Rogers in this landmark agreement, which brings even more premium live sports to Prime members in Canada" [1].
The agreement coincides with the end of an era for traditional hockey broadcasting in Canada, as CBC and Rogers will not renew their partnership, concluding "Hockey Night in Canada" broadcasts on public television after the 2025-26 season [1].
