The NHL has reached a 12-year, $7.7 billion deal with Rogers Communications to broadcast games on Canadian television, Sportico reported Monday.
The deal is pending owner approval.
Should the owners vote to approve the new deal for Rogers’ broadcast rights at the recommendation of NHL executives, an official announcement could land this week.
The agreement would be a contract extension for the Canadian telecom company, which is approaching the end of its 12-year deal originally inked in 2013. The new deal would begin for the 2026-27 season and its per-year totals are worth more than double those of the previous contract.
American television rights are split between ESPN and TNT. That $600 million annual deal lasts through the conclusion of the 2027-28 season.
