How Calgary Flames Fans Can Watch Every Game During the 2026 27 NHL Season

Calgary Flames fans will have several options for following their team from home during the 2026 27 NHL season, with the majority of games available through Sportsnet and a smaller number moving to Amazon Prime.

The broadcast schedule provides more clarity for fans planning how they will watch the Flames throughout the season. While Sportsnet remains the primary destination for Calgary games, the division between television broadcasts and streaming services means some fans may need more than one subscription to follow every game.

For viewers in the Flames broadcast region, Sportsnet will continue to carry the largest share of the team’s regular season schedule.

21 Saturday night games on Sportsnet

The Flames are scheduled to appear in 21 Saturday night national broadcasts during the upcoming season.

The Saturday night hockey package will continue the tradition of nationally televised weekend NHL games, although the broadcasts will no longer be carried on CBC. Fans will instead watch through Sportsnet television channels or Sportsnet Plus.

All four regular season meetings between Calgary and the Vancouver Canucks will be included in the Saturday night schedule, giving fans several nationally televised opportunities to watch one of the Flames’ important Western Conference rivals.

The final regular season game at the Saddledome is also scheduled for Saturday night hockey on April 10.

Eight Monday games will be streaming only

One of the biggest changes for viewers this season is the introduction of Monday Night Hockey as an exclusively streaming product.

Unlike the Saturday night broadcasts, these games will not be presented as a traditional television package. They will be available through Sportsnet Plus.

Calgary is scheduled to play eight Monday night games under this arrangement.

Fans who subscribe directly to Sportsnet Plus will have access to these broadcasts. Customers who receive Sportsnet through Rogers or Shaw television services will also have access under their existing arrangements.

Viewers who subscribe through another television provider may need an additional Sportsnet Plus upgrade to access the exclusive Monday broadcasts. The upgrade is listed at $12.99 per month.

This change means fans who rely solely on conventional television packages could find that some Calgary games are unavailable without an additional streaming subscription.

51 regional Flames broadcasts

Sportsnet will continue to provide extensive regional coverage of the Flames.

Fans living inside the team’s designated broadcast region will have access to 51 regional Flames games through Sportsnet television channels or Sportsnet Plus.

Combined with the nationally televised schedule, the regional package will account for the overwhelming majority of Calgary’s season.

For many households, Sportsnet will therefore remain the most important service for watching the Flames.

Four games move to Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime will also play a role in Calgary’s broadcast schedule.

The Flames are scheduled to appear in four Wednesday Night Hockey games that will be streamed nationally through Amazon Prime.

That means fans who want to watch every Calgary game cannot rely exclusively on Sportsnet.

The addition of Amazon Prime creates another layer to an already changing NHL broadcast landscape, where games are increasingly divided between traditional television networks and digital streaming platforms.

How many subscriptions will Flames fans need?

For fans focused purely on gaining access to every Flames game, two services may be enough: Sportsnet Plus and Amazon Prime.

Sportsnet Plus provides access to the team’s regional broadcasts, Saturday night national games and the eight Monday night games. Amazon Prime covers the four Wednesday night games assigned to its streaming package.

However, there is an important practical issue for viewers who prefer watching hockey on a large television.

Sportsnet Plus is not supported on every smart television platform, while Amazon Prime is widely available across many television devices. Fans who want a reliable big screen setup may therefore choose a conventional Sportsnet television subscription in addition to Amazon Prime.

That could leave some viewers managing three separate services or access methods depending on their television provider and device.

A fan might use a traditional Sportsnet television package for most games, Amazon Prime for the four Wednesday night broadcasts and Sportsnet Plus for the exclusive Monday games.

For viewers who are comfortable watching through a computer, tablet or supported streaming device, Sportsnet Plus can reduce the need for an additional television package.

What Flames fans should know before the season

The 2026 27 season represents another step toward a more fragmented NHL viewing experience.

The Flames will still have a substantial number of games available through Sportsnet, but national streaming exclusives mean fans will need to pay closer attention to where each game is being shown.

The simplest arrangement for many viewers will be Sportsnet Plus combined with Amazon Prime. Those who prefer traditional television and want everything available directly through their television provider could potentially require a conventional Sportsnet package, Sportsnet Plus and Amazon Prime.

The good news for Flames supporters is that the broadcast schedule is now much clearer. Fans can plan ahead rather than discovering at the last minute that a particular game is being carried exclusively on a different platform.

With the Flames preparing for another NHL campaign, supporters will have plenty of opportunities to follow the team from home. The only challenge may be deciding which combination of television and streaming services offers the best balance between convenience and cost.
