2025-26 Men's College Hockey season
This season I will try to keep track of televised men's college hockey games. This page will track all men's college hockey games airing on television (regional or national) or pseudo nationally televised matches on Peacock or other FAST services. ESPN+ and Flo Hockey will not be included here by me (others are welcome to add) because I do not have the time to track these events.
Only three conferences, the Big Ten, Hockey East and NCHC have national television deals. The Big Ten airs games on Big Ten Network and FS1, Hockey East airs games on ESPN, and NCHC airs games on NHL Network. Last year, NCHC also had a deal with CBS Sports Network though that is not continuing. Though not yet confirmed, I believe it is possible that Notre Dame Hockey games will air nationally on NBCSN (see the streaming paragraph below).
Hockey East, NCHC, CCHA, and ECAC have deals with major regional sports networks. Hockey East airs games on NESN, NCHC on Gray Media, CCHA on Midco Sports, and ECAC on SNY.
For streaming non televised games: AHA is on Flo Sports, the Big Ten is on B1G+ (except Notre Dame on Peacock), CCHA is on Midco Sports+, ECAC and Hockey East are on ESPN+, and NCHC is on NCHC.tv.
Many teams also have local television deals as follows:
