The St. Louis Blues have locked in a new local TV home, and it’s coming through Amazon Prime Video.
The team announced a multi-year agreement that will make Prime Video the exclusive local streaming destination for Blues hockey beginning with the 2026-27 season. For in-market fans, the setup will be a direct-to-consumer team-owned broadcast service accessed through the Prime Video platform.
The Blues will join a growing group of NHL teams using the same model, alongside the Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars.
"Our desire to maximize accessibility and ensure long-term consistency for where our fans will find our first team-owned streaming service led us to Prime Video, and we are excited to launch in the coming weeks," said Steve Chapman, the Blues' executive vice president and chief revenue and marketing officer.
For local viewers, the package will cost $19.999 per month or $99.99 for the full year. That matches the price point of recent direct-to-consumer options.
One key detail: fans will not need a full Amazon Prime membership to buy the Blues package. It will live inside Prime Video, but it stands on its own.
On the production side, the NHL's centralized team will handle the graphics and technical support, while local St. Louis crews will help produce the actual broadcasts. Prime's streaming hub will carry 73 local games this season, with the other nine airing on exclusive national broadcasts.
The team is still working on cable, satellite and over-the-air agreements for fans who stick with traditional TV. Those deals are expected to be finalized soon, and the Blues say viewers across the region will still be able to watch on television.
After years of uncertainty around where the games would land, the Blues now have a single digital home for local fans, with the official launch date still to come.

Robert Thomas is stepping into the spotlight at a moment when the Blues are asking for more than just points and playmaking. The club has handed him the captaincy, making him a central figure for a roster that has changed around him and for a season in which his leadership will be measured as much by presence and tone as by production. For a player long viewed as the engine of the offense, the next step is carrying that role into something bigger.
The early standard in St. Louis is pretty clear: set the pace, help define the teams toughness and push the group back into the playoff picture. Thomas does not need a perfect first year to validate the choice, but the expectation is obvious, and it comes with the weight of a franchise that remembers how quickly previous captains made October hockey part of the conversation. What matters now is whether he can turn that responsibility into the kind of start that keeps the Blues relevant when the standings tighten. [Read more 🡒]
