Flames Get Big Amazon Hockey Deal | Calgary Flames News

0:00On September 4th, alright, so Amazon Prime is stepping up their hockey game. Starting in 2026, they're gonna be broadcasting Wednesday night hockey for the next 12 years. This is a pretty big deal because it's a new, national broadcast deal in Canada, and Amazon snagged the Wednesday slot. The Calgary Flames are gonna be on there quite a bit. They've got four games scheduled for Wednesday nights on Amazon. That includes two showdowns against their rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, which they're calling the Battle of Alberta. This is a step up from last season when the Flames only had two games on Amazon. So, while most of their games will still be on SportsNet, having four on a national stream might prime, gives them more eyes on them. It's interesting to see how these streaming services are taking over sports broadcasting. We're talking October 28th against Edmonton, November 11th against the New York Rangers, February 24th against the New Utah team, and then another Battle of Alberta. On March 3rd. So, if you're a Flames fan, mark those Wednesdays down.
