There is no single channel or streaming service for every Edmonton Oilers game. The right option depends on your country, whether the game is national or regional, and the broadcast assignment for that matchup. In Canada, most Oilers games are on Sportsnet, with selected Wednesday national games exclusive to Prime Video. In the United States, national games are split among ESPN, ABC and TNT, while local and out-of-market games follow different rules. International viewers should check the NHL’s country guide.
Find the channel or stream for a specific Oilers game
Start with the individual game listing, not a general service lineup. Sportsnet publishes an Oilers broadcast schedule with game times and destinations, and warns that its broadcast schedule is subject to change. The NHL’s Where to Watch guide provides country-specific viewing information.
- Check the Oilers’ listing for the date and opponent on Sportsnet’s schedule or the NHL guide.
- Note the named channel or app, such as Sportsnet West, Sportsnet+, Prime Video, ESPN, ABC or TNT.
- Apply the local-market and blackout rules for your location, especially if you are in Canada outside Alberta or in the United States trying to watch an out-of-market game.
For example, Sportsnet’s schedule lists Edmonton at Anaheim on October 7, 2026, at 8 p.m. Alberta time (10 p.m. ET) on Sportsnet West. That is a dated schedule example, not a standing channel assignment; check the current listing for the game you want to watch.

Sportsnet carries most games
Sportsnet’s 2026–27 schedule lists Oilers broadcasts across Sportsnet West, Sportsnet ONE and Sportsnet+. Sportsnet says its crew will cover 79 Oilers games across those outlets. The NHL schedule has 84 regular-season games per team, but the difference should not be read as a simple list of games without coverage: other assignments may apply, so check each matchup’s listing.
#1 Best Overall
- Embroidered fabric applique
- Winnipeg Heritage Classic 2016 Patch
- Throwback jersey
- Side splits at hem
- Officially licensed
For games assigned to Sportsnet, use the named television channel or stream through Sportsnet+ in the Sportsnet app. The NHL’s Canadian guide also lists TVA Sports for games assigned to TVA. A Sportsnet subscription or channel does not imply that every game is available in every location.
Some Wednesday games are exclusive to Prime Video
Prime Video’s Canadian package includes at least 26 national regular-season games in 2026–27, beginning September 30, according to The Associated Press’s report on the agreement. These games stream in the Prime Video app and are included for Prime subscribers in Canada at no additional cost. Sportsnet retains the majority of national NHL games. Do not assume every Wednesday game or every Oilers game is on Prime Video; confirm the particular listing.

Regional blackouts affect where you can watch
Sportsnet says Oilers and Flames regional telecasts on Sportsnet West and companion channels are available only in Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. It specifically says Manitoba viewers are blacked out. The NHL guide points Canadian viewers outside a team’s local market to NHL Centre Ice or Sportsnet+, but availability depends on the game’s national or regional assignment and the applicable service terms.
Watching Oilers games in the United States
National broadcasts
In the U.S., the channel or app depends on the national assignment. The NHL guide maps ESPN+ games to ESPN+ and Hulu; TNT games to TNT, Watch TNT or HBO Max; ESPN games to ESPN and the ESPN app; and ABC games to ABC and the ESPN app. Check the Oilers game’s listing to see which applies.

Local and out-of-market games
For regional games, the NHL directs in-market viewers to local team information and out-of-market viewers to NHL Center Ice or ESPN+. Some NHL Network games outside a viewer’s local market are not available on ESPN+.
ESPN’s 2026–27 schedule announcement says 100 games are exclusive to its platforms: 53 on ESPN and ABC, and 47 streamable on ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu. ESPN separately describes NHL Power Play on the ESPN app as offering more than 1,050 out-of-market games for the season. ESPN also says the ESPN app carries all matchups with ESPN Unlimited or eligible pay-TV authentication. These are different access paths and game inventories; an ESPN subscription should not be assumed to include every Oilers game or every national broadcast.

Watching from outside Canada and the United States
International rights vary by country. The NHL lists NHL.TV on DAZN for specified territories in 2026–27, and its territory list is subject to change. Use the NHL’s country guide to check your location and the specific game before subscribing; NHL.TV on DAZN is not available worldwide.
What changes from season to season
The 2026–27 NHL regular season has 84 games per team and began September 29, 2026, according to the NHL schedule announcement. The Oilers opened against Vancouver on September 29 and played at Vancouver on October 1, according to the Oilers’ schedule release. Rights packages, game assignments and blackout rules can change, so a channel that carried one matchup—or one season’s games—does not establish where another will air.
