SAN JOSE, Calif.—Roku and the National Hockey League have announced a new deal to create and launch the NHL Zone, a new destination within the Roku Sports experience for hockey fans.
Launching ahead of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final (with Game 1 set for June 2 at 8 p.m. on ABC), NHL Zone will serve as a centralized hub on Roku for NHL national and regional games available in the user’s area, plus highlights and more.
“With NHL Zone, we’re making it easier than ever for hockey fans to get straight to what matters most, plus so much more, all in one place,” Roku Media Head of Sports Joe Franzetta said. “At Roku, we always put viewers first, giving them a clear, simple destination for all their favorite channels and platforms, game highlights and recaps, and all the other great programming offered by Roku.”
The agreement builds on an existing alliance between the league and the streaming platform, which has already led to the launch of the NHL FAST Channel on Roku.
“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Roku, first with the NHL FAST channel and now NHL Zone, as we continue to create new and innovative ways to serve our passionate fans,” NHL Chief Media Officer David Proper said. “NHL Zone provides NHL fans with a go-to destination for Roku users to discover all the exciting NHL action offered on Roku and from our rightsholders.”
Presented by Geico, NHL Zone offers quick access to:
