How to Stream NHL Games for the 2024-2025 Season
Imagine the clash of hockey sticks, the slash of skates, and the thud of the puck as it ricochets off the boards — nothing beats sitting in the stands at a hockey game. But for the days you can’t make it to the rink, Hulu has the next best thing.
Whether you’re watching from your living room or on the go with your mobile device, Hulu has three easy NHL streaming options to make sure you never miss a shot.
1. Exclusive Games on Hulu and ESPN+
Hulu and ESPN+ are excited to present 100 exclusive NHL games to hockey fans this season. All Hulu subscribers get live streaming access to these games — no matter which market you’re in.

2. Once you’re logged in, navigate to your account page to set up your Live TV–supported devices. This includes Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, LG TV, Mac and PC browsers, PlayStation®, Roku, Samsung TV, VIZIO, Xbox, and more.
3. Enter your zip code to find your local Live TV availability for channels carrying and streaming NHL games, including ESPN,* TNT,* ABC,* and TBS.*
