The National Hockey League announced that NHL GameCenter LIVE, the League’s critically acclaimed, out-of-market, live-game streaming product, is available this season for the special price of $49.99.

The subscription fee of $49.99 enables fans to watch live and archived games featuring teams outside a fan’s local market across multiple screens, including smartphones, tablets, computers, and connected devices. The special price is available for this season only.

NHL GameCenter LIVE offers fans worldwide* the most robust live-game viewing experience with in-game interactivity, on-demand replays, DVR capabilities, highlights, and more.
