Can I watch the Oilers on ESPN+?
If you live in the U.S., you can watch most Oilers regular season games on ESPN+.
ESPN+ lacks ABC, ESPN, and TNT, so you can’t watch marquee national games, or the Stanley Cup Playoffs with ESPN+.
It is also worth noting that NHL Network’s out-of-market TV rights trump the ESPN+ rights for 75 games each season, resulting in blackouts.
The ESPN Plus out-of-market NHL Lineup, which features over 1,000 games every season, isn’t available to Canadian viewers.
Can I watch the Oilers on Hulu + Live TV?
If you live in the U.S., signing up for the Hulu + Live TV bundle gets you every Oilers game, except the handful of games that air on NHL Network.
While ESPN+ can be purchased à la carte, NHL fans who want access to more channels, including the channels that air marquee NHL matchups, can buy ESPN+ as part of the Hulu + Live TV bundle.
With the ESPN+ bundle, NHL fans can watch all ESPN+ programming, as well as NFL, NCAAF, movies, and news, all from the Hulu app.
Watching the Oilers FAQ
For this season, NHL Live has been retired, and Sportsnet NOW Premium is the new home of the NHL’s out-of-market Canadian broadcasts.
Unfortunately, the ESPN+ NHL out-of-market lineup is only available in the U.S., and can’t be viewed in Canada. In Canada, Sportsnet NOW Premium is the best option for watching out-of-market hockey.
