Prime Video will broadcast three Stanley Cup Playoffs series in Canada - two in the first round, one in the second - as part of a 12-year sublicensing agreement with Rogers announced Tuesday.

The streaming platform also gets Wednesday night regular-season national games in Canada, both in English and French.

"Over the past two years, Prime Video has been a valuable addition to the NHL's media lineup in Canada, joining Rogers in bringing marquee NHL games to Canadian fans," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. "We're excited that Prime Video and Rogers are deepening their relationship through this long-term agreement, reflecting our shared commitment to serving English- and French-language hockey fans across Canada with premium NHL content for years to come."

Prime Video broadcasted Monday night regular-season national games in Canada for the last two seasons. The two-year agreement made in 2024 was the NHL's first exclusive broadcast package with a digital-only streaming service in Canada.

Details of Prime Video's talent and production for the upcoming season will be announced at a later date.

In 2025, Rogers and the NHL announced a 12-year agreement for Canadian national rights that runs from 2026-27 through 2037-38.

The NHL season begins Sept. 29, with the first Wednesday night NHL on Prime broadcast scheduled for the following day.
