How to Watch PWHL Games on TV
League officials set an ambitious goal last year to have every game televised in the U.S. and Canada, and they’re close to achieving that goal for the 2024-25 season.
You can watch PWHL games this year on TSN and CBC in Canada, and on MSG Networks and NESN in the United States. Amazon Prime Video will also stream a handful of games online free for Amazon Prime members.
