Nashville Predators Announce Exciting New Broadcast Partnership

The Nashville Predators have announced a groundbreaking broadcasting partnership with Scripps Sports, set to begin in the 2026-27 NHL season. This multi-year agreement will make Scripps Sports the official TV and streaming home for all local preseason, regular season, and first-round playoff games that are not exclusively allocated to national broadcasts. Predators fans in the team’s broadcast territory will enjoy the ability to watch games for free on a new local station, 'The Spot - Nashville 28,' which will be accessible over the air, on cable, and through satellite services. In addition to live game broadcasts, Scripps will produce a 30-minute pregame and postgame show for each locally aired game, maintaining the familiar format fans have come to expect. The partnership also introduces a direct-to-consumer streaming option, allowing fans to livestream games across the Predators' broadcast territory, with further details to be announced soon. Predators CEO Sean Henry expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting the increased accessibility for fans as a significant benefit. Scripps Sports has established itself as a trusted name in sports broadcasting, already partnering with several other NHL teams. This new deal marks a significant step forward for the Nashville Predators, enhancing the viewing experience for their dedicated fanbase.
