NHL on TV: 2018-19 national broadcast schedule
NBC and NBCSN will be televising 109 NHL regular season games during the 2018-19 season. Here’s the full listings of NHL on TV for NBC and NBCSN.
Each season, NBC and NBCSN televise NHL games nationally. During the 2018-19 season, they will be televising a total of 109 regular season games. In addition, they will have the broadcast rights to the Winter Classic and Stadium Series outdoor games. The two stations will have the most diverse NHL on TV schedule in their history.
NBCSN will be debuting Wednesday Night hockey, which will feature eight weeks with one game and 17 weeks with a doubleheader. NBC’s first game of the season will be the 2019 Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins. Starting in February, NBC will air at least one game each Sunday and several on Saturdays.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals will be shown on Wednesday Night Hockey eight times, the most in the NHL. Most teams will be featured on national television at least once. In particular, the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Toronto Maple Leafs (among others) will be shown multiple times.
This season will also feature some earlier start times, which should be good for those families with kids. The first televised game will feature the Capitals and Bruins. It will have the former raising their Stanley Cup Champions banner, which should be extremely exciting to watch. Later that night, they’ll have the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks battling.
