One more year of the Avalanche being a popular draw for the NHL’s national television partners.
With the NHL season inching ever so closely, TNT and ESPN announced their broadcast schedules for the 2026-27 campaign Wednesday. The Avalanche are set to appear 16 times on the national networks, which puts them near the top of the league in terms of who will be seen the most. The Boston Bruins lead the league with 20 of their games being set for national television.
Seven of those games for the Avalanche can be seen on TNT, including the season opener Sept. 30 against the Los Angeles Kings, as well as the Winter Classic in Utah on Dec. 31. The other nine will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN+ or ABC, with the first being the Oct. 13 matchup with the Dallas Stars.
The remainder of the games are likely to be televised on Altitude Sports, which has not released its broadcast schedule yet.
