Never miss your team: NHL Centre Ice returns for the 2026-27 season

Sep 22, 2026

There’s nothing like the start of a new NHL season.

Hope springs eternal in September. Every team starts with a clean slate, offseason additions get their first real test, and fans from coast to coast begin dreaming of a Stanley Cup run. Whether you’re following a Cup contender, tracking hockey’s next generation of stars, or keeping up with every twist and turn of the playoff race, NHL Centre Ice helps bring you closer to the action.

And this season, hockey fans will have even more opportunities to catch the NHL’s biggest moments: Sportsnet is lifting 150 NHL blackouts for the 2026-27 season and expanding its national broadcast schedule, meaning more games televised across the country.
