The season marks another year of the Golden Knights’ partnership with Scripps Sports, which will enter its fourth season providing free over-the-air, cable and satellite coverage of games that are not nationally exclusive. Scripps Sports will also make all 69 regional broadcasts available to stream live through KnightTime+.
All four preseason games will be carried on The Spot – Vegas 34 in Southern Nevada and streamed on KnightTime+.
Vegas’ 10th season begins Tuesday, Sept. 29, when the Golden Knights host the Chicago Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena. The matchup will also serve as the first of the team’s 15 national broadcasts, with ESPN carrying the game exclusively.
The national schedule includes several marquee matchups throughout the season, including three games against the Dallas Stars, two against the San Jose Sharks and two against the Edmonton Oilers. Vegas will also take part in the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, facing Dallas outdoors on Feb. 20.
