TVA Sports will air up to 350 regular-season games a season, including 32 Montreal Canadiens games, under a sub-licensing deal with Rogers and Quebecor.
- The NHL confirmed Thursday that TVA Sports will retain French-language broadcast rights in Canada for 12 years through a sub-licensing arrangement with Rogers Communications Inc. and Quebecor Inc.

- TVA Sports and TVA Sports Direct will broadcast up to 350 regular-season games annually, including 32 Montreal Canadiens contests, while Bell Media's RDS airs 45 games as the NHL transitions to an 84-game schedule.
- Amazon's Prime Video will stream seven Canadiens regular-season games in French next season, the Amazon and the NHL announced on Wednesday, adding a digital streaming component to the broadcast package.
- TVA Sports retains exclusive French-language playoff rights for the Habs, cementing Quebecor's long-term commitment after paying more than $700 million over 12 years to establish itself as Canada's official French-language NHL broadcaster.
