How to Watch Edmonton Oilers Games on Sportsnet

Sportsnet is the primary Canadian media-rights partner for Edmonton Oilers regular-season and playoff broadcasts.

Regional games are commonly carried through Sportsnet West, while nationally selected games may appear on Sportsnet’s national channels.

The specific channel can vary by matchup, so fans should use the Watch On column above rather than assuming every Oilers game will appear on the same Sportsnet feed.

How to Stream Edmonton Oilers Games on Sportsnet+

Canadian fans can stream eligible Edmonton Oilers games through Sportsnet+.

Availability depends on the viewer’s location, subscription level and whether the game is classified as a regional, national or exclusive sublicensed broadcast.

Fans should check the individual game listing before subscribing because some nationally exclusive games may be available through Prime Video instead of the normal Sportsnet stream.

Oilers Games on Prime Video in 2026-27

The NHL’s Canadian Prime Video schedule changes for the 2026-27 season.

Prime Video is now the exclusive Canadian home of Wednesday Night Hockey, replacing the Monday-night package used during the previous two NHL seasons.

At least 26 regular-season national NHL games will stream exclusively through Prime Video during the season. Any Edmonton Oilers game selected for the package will be identified in the Watch On column above when the complete national broadcast schedule is confirmed.

Can I Watch Oilers Regular-Season Games on Oilers+?

Oilers+ is not the streaming home for Edmonton’s live regular-season games.

Oilers+ carries team-produced content and select preseason games that are not otherwise televised, but regular-season and Stanley Cup Playoff broadcasts are handled through the Oilers’ NHL television partners.

Check the schedule above for the confirmed broadcaster before each game.

Edmonton Oilers Radio Broadcast

Edmonton Oilers games can be heard on 880 CHED, the radio home of Oilers hockey.
