The Vegas Golden Knights and ViewLift are heading into a fourth season together with KnightTime+ riding a surge in usage and adding new ways for fans to watch.
The team’s direct-to-consumer streaming service posted its strongest year yet, with registered users up 76% year-over-year and total views rising 57% as it moves toward the 2026-27 NHL preseason. Those gains come with a fresh round of upgrades designed around live-game viewing, including a start-from-the-beginning/DVR feature that allows fans to jump into an in-progress game from puck drop or pause and rewind live action.
KnightTime+ is also widening its reach on the living-room front. Google TV is now part of the platform’s device lineup, which already includes web, iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Vizio. That expands access for fans in Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and select counties in California and Nebraska who follow locally broadcast Golden Knights games.
“Three years in, KnightTime+ has become an integral part of how our fans experience our team,” said Scott Kegley, Chief Digital Officer of the Vegas Golden Knights. “This season's growth is proof of that, and the updates we're rolling out - from DVR-style playback to Google TV - are giving fans new and exciting options for viewing Golden Knights hockey.”
Rick Allen, CEO of ViewLift, pointed to the partnership’s broader momentum as the company continues under the DAZN umbrella.
“Three years ago, we signed on as the streaming partner for a team that had just won its first Stanley Cup. Today, joining forces with DAZN gives us the scale to build on that momentum across the regional sports market,” Allen said. “This kind of growth is exactly the trajectory we intend to keep driving, with the Golden Knights and across our broader portfolio, as part of DAZN going forward.”
KnightTime+ launched in September 2023 and was developed by ViewLift in alliance with the Golden Knights and Scripps Sports. Fans can access it online at knighttimeplus.com, with a season subscription priced at $69.99 and a free trial available through Sept. 30.
Scripps Sports carries 69 regular-season games and the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, should Vegas qualify.
The preseason begins Saturday, September 19, 2026, when the Golden Knights face the Los Angeles Kings at 6 p.m. PT at Toyota Arena.

Golden Knights Fans Need To Talk About T-Mobile Arena Prices
A recent study from Canada Sports Betting put a fresh number on something many Golden Knights fans already feel when they head to T-Mobile Arena: it is an expensive night out. The report estimated the cost for a family of four at $1,057.75, which ranks second-highest in the NHL behind Montreal, with the total driven by tickets, food and parking.
The sticker shock has become part of the conversation around the arena experience in Vegas, especially because the study pointed to ticket prices and concessions as two of the leagues priciest categories. The organization has tried to answer those concerns with a discounted locals menu and lower season-ticket prices, but affordability remains a real issue for fans trying to keep up with the cost of supporting the team in person.

Golden Knights Face A Harsh Reality Heading Into 2026-27
The Golden Knights are heading into 2026-27 with a very different tone around the room. After a season that ended with fewer wins than losses and a coaching change, head coach Ryan Craig said the group is starting over, a blunt acknowledgment that recent success has not carried over cleanly into the next chapter, even after the clubs most recent Stanley Cup Final appearance.
For Vegas, the challenge is not just getting back to the standard it set in prior years, but rebuilding that standard with a roster that will look different. Regular-season consistency remains the priority, and the departure of Pavel Dorofeyev only adds to the sense that this is a team being asked to reset while still trying to contend, which is rarely an easy balance to strike.
