The National Hockey League (NHL) has announced the launch of NHL Monday Night Hockey, a new initiative that will bring NHL games to hockey fans across Europe live in local primetime viewing windows on Monday nights throughout the 2026-27 season – including via ITV in the UK.

The League and its international media partners will deliver 11 NHL Monday Night Hockey broadcasts to fans across Europe starting on November 30th, with each game scheduled to face off in the evening across European time zones and in the afternoon in North America.


A total of 11 games featuring 16 different NHL clubs will be presented over the course of the 2026-27 regular season, providing a recurring, primetime Monday-evening appointment-viewing destination for fans across Europe. NHL Monday Night Hockey complements the already established NHL Saturday and NHL Sunday presented by Fastenal European primetime games and creates a unique weekday matinee experience for fans in North America.

“NHL Monday Night Hockey was created to provide international fans the opportunity to watch live NHL hockey and the world’s best players compete in a weeknight primetime broadcast window,” said Julie Yufe, NHL Executive Vice President and Managing Director, International. “It’s an important step in our ongoing efforts to provide fans access to our great game and continue to grow the game of ice hockey across key European markets.”

Participating international media partners include NovaAction in Czechia; STAR in Finland; Sky Sport in Germany; Dajto in Slovakia; TV6 in Sweden; MySports in Switzerland; and Premier Sport and, as aforementioned, ITV in the UK.
