# NHL and Rogers announce a 12-year Canadian media rights deal through the 2037-38 season

> The NHL and Rogers Communications have announced a 12-year media rights deal valued at $11 billion CAD to air games across multiple platforms in Canada through the 2037-38 season. This agreement, more than double the previous contract, includes national rights for all regular-season and playoff games, as well as strategic sub-licensing options. Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri emphasized the importance of hockey in Canada, while NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman highlighted the shared commitment to serving Canadian fans.

TORONTO (AP) — The NHL and Rogers Communications announced a new 12-year national media rights deal Wednesday to air games on multiple platforms in Canada.

The agreement, which was first reported Monday, is valued at $11 billion Canadian dollars, or roughly $7.7 billion. The new deal runs through the 2037-38 season.

In Canadian dollars, it is worth more than double the previous contract signed in November 2013 that cost Rogers $5.2 billion in the local currency. Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri said the company is proud to continue its partnership with the NHL.

“Hockey is Canada’s game and we’re proud to be the home of hockey,” Staffieri said in a statement. “Sports are core to our company, and these rights are the most valuable sports rights in Canada.”

This is the league’s latest source of revenue after contracting with ESPN and Turner Sports in 2021 for the current U.S. TV and streaming rights deal for $4.5 billion over seven years combined.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league and Rogers have a shared commitment to best serving Canadian fans and the unmatched passion that they have for the game.

“For more than a decade, Rogers has done an incredible job of conveying what NHL hockey, our players, and our teams mean to hockey fans and their communities from coast to coast to coast,” Bettman said.

The deal includes national rights across all platforms, including TV, digital and streaming, for all national regular-season games, in all languages, as well as out-of-market rights for all regional games.

It also includes national rights to all playoff games, the Stanley Cup Final and all special events and tentpole events, in all languages.

The agreement allows for strategic sub-licensing for a subset of the rights, including national French-language and a single-night exclusive national package.
