this will be a incredible quality-of-life improvement
This is actually so helpful 😅
Question: is every Kraken game on Prime Video only, or can you use a TV antenna?
Canada is SN+

I have Fubo but I don’t think Kong is on there
But if Amazon carries, or even Peacock (NBC so assuming Kong is on there) , the. I think I’m good
The terms say all non nationally televised games so wonder what that means. Probably no playoffs but how does that jive with ESPN playing games, that’s definitely a national broadcast.
A good rule of thumb that works in most, but not all cases. Examples where it doesn’t:
1. Not all games are on Amazon Prime. 10 Kraken games were picked up for exclusive national broadcasts on channels like ESPN and TNT. * There might also be additional games picked up for NHL Network for people outside both teams’ home markets 2. ESPN+ will not let you watch a Kraken game if they are playing a team you are in the local region for. Example – you live in Colorado and the Kraken are playing the Avalanche. 3. If you live outside the US, where you can watch NHL games depends on the country. Canada has a similar complicated system as the US. Countries other than Canada and the US have a variety of services.

Yes, this is overly complicated and makes watching games harder than it should be.
No, it’s not changing anytime soon because each team likes owning their local rights and the NHL has signed long contracts for national TV rights.
