St. Louis Blues Hockey Broadcast Rights & Regional Blackout Guide (2026–27 Blues Season)
Following the St. Louis Blues regular season across the United States requires understanding how NHL broadcast territory rights are split between regional sports networks and national streaming partners. For St. Louis Blues fans, games are divided across Blue Note+ (BN+), ESPN+, ESPN/ABC, TNT, and NHL Network.
Regional St. Louis Blues Games (Blue Note+ (BN+))
Blue Note+ (BN+) holds the official in-market regional broadcast rights for the St. Louis Blues (73 regular-season games) across Missouri, Southern Illinois, Eastern Kansas & Arkansas. If your US ZIP code falls inside the St. Louis Blues local broadcast territory, regional games are blacked out on ESPN+ and must be watched via Blue Note+ (BN+).
If you live outside the St. Louis Blues local broadcast territory in the US, regional Blues games stream live on ESPN+ (unless the St. Louis Blues are playing an opponent whose local broadcast territory includes your ZIP code).
National Blues Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT & NHL Network)
When the St. Louis Blues are selected for an exclusive national US broadcast on ESPN, TNT, or NHL Network (13 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.
