How to live stream the NHL with a VPN

With a VPN, you can watch the NHL on any network, even on restricted Wi-Fi at work or school.

  1. Get ExpressVPN.
  2. Connect to a server location that matches the broadcaster you want to watch. For example, United States hockey fans can connect to a server in the U.S. to catch games on Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, or YouTube TV.
  3. Let’s hit the ice!

Watching on a computer? For the best streaming experience, use the ExpressVPN browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

Why you need a VPN to stream the NHL

Some internet and network providers might slow your connection if they think you’re streaming too much, causing laggy streams and buffering. But by using a VPN, you can encrypt your traffic, keep your online activity private from your ISP, and bypass throttling to watch NHL games without any issues.

If you’re working at night and the Wi-Fi at your job blocks streaming services, you could miss out on watching some games. But with a VPN, your activity is encrypted and anonymized, allowing you to unblock streaming platforms with ease. Just make sure you don’t cheer too loudly and catch your bosses’ attention.

Best VPN for watching the NHL in 2024

ExpressVPN has a global network of servers in 105 countries, which work seamlessly with sports streaming services that broadcast the NHL, such as ESPN+ and Fubo. Our 10-Gbps servers give you a blazing-fast VPN connection, so you never have to worry about buffering or lag during those tense finishes. 

You can connect up to 8 devices to the VPN at once with a single account, so you can watch any game of your choosing on your smart TV while your family streams their favorite shows or movies on their own devices. Try ExpressVPN now with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

How to stream the NHL with NHL.TV

If you live outside of the U.S. or Canada, you can live stream every NHL game this season on NHL.TV. Similar to NBA League Pass or NFL Game Pass, NHL.TV is designed for viewers who live in countries where NHL games are not widely available. The NHL’s official website has a full list of regions where NHL.TV is available, although notable countries include France, Germany, Japan, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom. Prices vary depending on your region. 

Live stream exclusive NHL games on ESPN+ and Hulu

The NHL announced ahead of the 2024-25 season that ESPN, ESPN+, Hulu, and ABC will air 100 exclusive games in the coming months. Any game airing on ABC, ESPN, or ESPN 2 will also air on ESPN+ or Hulu. You may need proof of subscription to another service, whether it’s a cable company or a streaming service like Hulu + Live TV, to live stream some of those games.

Hulu + Live TV offers a 3-day free trial you could use to catch select nationally-televised showdowns. ESPN+ does not offer a free trial at this time. You need a U.S. credit or debit card to subscribe to either service.
