Today, we learned that seven Canadiens games will be broadcast on Prime on Wednesday nights during the 2026–2027 season.

Another 45 games will be shown on RDS. We suspected that the remaining 32 games would be broadcast on TVA Sports, but nothing had been confirmed.

But now TVA Sports has confirmed that the other 32 games will air on its network.

TVA Sports and the NHL have just renewed their contract for 12 years.

This means there will officially be 32 Canadiens games on TVA Sports this season, up to 350 regular-season games, 22 Senators games, six of the eight first-round playoff matchups, three of the four second-round matchups, and exclusive coverage of the rest of the playoffs.

Events such as the draft and the All-Star Game will also be on TVA Sports, as will the Habs–Sens preseason game on September 21.

The NHL also issued a press release stating that the agreement includes 10 more Habs games than in previous years.

“For 12 seasons now, the games broadcast in French by TVA Sports have brought our sport closer to millions of passionate hockey fans across Quebec and Canada.” – Gary Bettman

The fact that the two parties have renewed their contract isn't necessarily a surprise, but we wouldn't have expected the deal to be finalized in September 2026, just a few days before training camp begins.

So this is very good news, and Quebecor is clearly here to stay.


In Brief

– Things are going well for the Blue Jays.

– Cool.

– Finally.

– Well done.
