TORONTO – The NHL and Rogers have agreed to a new 12-year Canadian broadcasting deal worth US$7.7 billion, according to The Associated Press.
Sportico was first to report the deal and said owners would vote on it this week.
The news comes as Rogers’ current $5.2-billion, 12-year rights deal is set to conclude after the 2025-26 NHL season.
Rogers, which owns the Sportsnet network, was expected to face stiff competition from tech giant Amazon for the next NHL rights deal.
Amazon is in the first year of a two-year deal to stream Monday night NHL games in Canada on its Prime service.
Rogers president and chief executive officer Tony Staffieri said at a lunch hosted by Canadian Club Toronto in May that Rogers would pursue a renewal of its rights deal with the NHL.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 31, 2025.
