The 2024–25 NHL season is about to begin, and the ESPN family of networks is your home for hockey.

This season, there will be 100 exclusive games on ESPN, ESPN+, Hulu and ABC, plus over 1,050 out-of-market games available on NHL Power Play on ESPN+.

The broadcast season begins on October 8 with a tripleheader: St. Louis Blues at Seattle Kraken (4:30 p.m. ET), Boston Bruins at Florida Panthers (7:00 p.m. ET) and Chicago Blackhawks at Utah Hockey Club (10:00 p.m. ET).

On October 22, NHL Frozen Frenzy returns – a special night of hockey featuring all 32 teams in action. This includes another tripleheader starting at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN – Washington Capitals at Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado Avalanche at Seattle Kraken and Los Angeles Kings at Vegas Golden Knights – while the 13 other games will be available on NHL Power Play on ESPN+. There will also be a live broadcast show with live insights and highlights from all 16 games.

The NHL 4 Nations Faceoff will take place from February 12 to 20. NHL teams from the USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden will compete against each other in a round-robin tournament. Three round-robin games and the final will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC.

On March 1, the Stadium Series returns to ESPN, with the Columbus Blue Jackets hosting the Detroit Red Wings at Ohio Stadium, home of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team.
