Prime Monday Night Hockey is the branding of Amazon Prime Video's Monday night broadcasts of the National Hockey League (NHL) in Canada, sublicensed from Rogers Communications. The package began in the 2022–23 NHL season, replacing Hometown Hockey which had aired from 2014 to 2022, and aired on Sportsnet before moving to Amazon Prime prior to the 2024–25 NHL season.

History

On June 28, 2022, Rogers Communications announced that it would be canceling its Hometown Hockey program after 8 years on the air and that Sportsnet would replace it with a new brand for its Monday night broadcasts of the NHL.[1]

Then, on October 17, one day before its first broadcast, Sportsnet announced the new package would be called Rogers Monday Night Hockey and debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs going against the Arizona Coyotes.[2][3]

On April 25, 2024, the NHL and Sportsnet's parent company Rogers Communications announced that Amazon Prime Video signed a two-year deal to exclusively stream Monday night games in Canada under the Prime Monday Night Hockey brand.[4]
