FAQ

What channel is the Lightning game on tonight?

The next Tampa Bay Lightning game is at home against the Detroit Red Wings on Tue, Nov 3 at 7:00 PM EST. It airs on The Spot.

How can I stream Tampa Bay Lightning games without cable?

In the Lightning’s home market, local games stream on the team’s local streaming option. National games stream on HBO Max (TNT games) and in the ESPN app / ESPN+. Outside the home market, ESPN+ NHL Power Play carries most out-of-market games.

How many Lightning games are on national TV in 2026-27?

Of the 71 remaining games listed, 14 are on US national TV or streaming and 33 are on a Canadian national broadcaster.

Are Lightning games on Prime Video?

Yes — upcoming Lightning games are listed on Prime Video: 2 as a national streaming-only game in Canada. Those games are not on a regular TV channel.

What does "TV to be announced" mean?

The NHL publishes national broadcasters before the season and fills in regional ones in waves. Games without a listed channel will usually land on the team’s regional broadcaster. This page refreshes automatically several times a day.
