Seattle Kraken Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026–27 Kraken Season)

Following the Seattle Kraken regular season across the United States requires understanding how NHL broadcast territory rights are split between regional sports networks and national streaming partners. For Seattle Kraken fans, games are divided across Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network, ESPN+, ESPN/ABC, TNT, and NHL Network.

Regional Seattle Kraken Games (Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network)

Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the Seattle Kraken (77 regular-season games) across Washington, Oregon, Alaska & Northern Idaho. If your US ZIP code falls inside the Seattle Kraken local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network.

If you live outside the Seattle Kraken local broadcast territory in the US, regional Kraken games stream live on ESPN+ (unless the Seattle Kraken are playing an opponent whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code).

National Kraken Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT & NHL Network)

When the Seattle Kraken are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (10 games), the broadcast is blacked out on ESPN+ nationwide unless simulcast on ABC/ESPN+.

Viewers across all US ZIP codes need access to the designated national television channel or streaming tier (such as Max for TNT simulcasts) to watch these national exclusives.

Quick Summary for Kraken Fans: Use the US ZIP Code Lookup above to check your local market status. In-market ZIP codes (Washington, Oregon, Alaska & Northern Idaho) watch regional games on Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network; out-of-market US ZIP codes stream regional games on ESPN+.

Blackout Rules & FAQ

Game Type Network Blackout Status

Regional (Out-of-Market ZIP) ESPN+ Stream on ESPN+ (Unless Opponent Is Local to Your ZIP)
US National Exclusive ESPN / ABC / TNT / NHL Network Requires National Channel (Unless ABC/ESPN+ Simulcast)

Why are Seattle Kraken games blacked out on ESPN+?

ESPN+ only carries out-of-market NHL games. If you live inside the Seattle Kraken local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched on Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network. Additionally, any game airing nationally on ESPN, ABC, TNT, or NHL Network is blacked out on ESPN+ nationwide unless explicitly simulcast.

What channel broadcasts regional Seattle Kraken games in-market?

In-market regional Seattle Kraken games are carried by Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network. Viewers inside the designated local broadcast territory need cable, satellite, a live TV streamer, or a direct-to-consumer RSN subscription that includes Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network.

How do I watch Seattle Kraken games if I live out of market in the US?

Out-of-market fans in the United States can stream regional Seattle Kraken games live on ESPN+ (carrying both the Prime Video / Kraken Hockey Network feed and the opponent feed), except when the Seattle Kraken play a team whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code or when the game airs exclusively on a national network.
