The St. Louis Blues and Montreal Canadiens prepare to clash in a pivotal NHL matchup, with fans facing a new landscape for local broadcasting. In-market viewers within the Blues territory must now tune in to Blue Note+, the team’s newly launched broadcast network that replaces FanDuel Sports Network. This service is accessible exclusively through the Prime Video app, offering a subscription model of $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Existing subscribers to select Spectrum, DIRECTV, U-verse, or Fubo packages can access Blue Note+ at no additional cost, ensuring seamless continuity for loyal local audiences.
Blue Note+ launches in-market coverage as out-of-market fans rely on ESPN+ and NHL Center Ice.
For fans outside the Blues broadcast territory, viewing options remain robust through major national platforms. Out-of-market viewers can stream the game via ESPN+ using an ESPN Select or Unlimited plan, or through NHL Center Ice on Spectrum or DIRECTV. National broadcast games will also be available on TNT, ESPN, ESPN+, or ABC, providing multiple avenues for global audiences to follow the action. This multi-platform availability ensures that the rivalry between St. Louis and Montreal reaches a wide demographic, maximizing engagement across different service providers.
Radio coverage remains a vital component of the fan experience, with every Blues game available live on 101 ESPN (101.1 FM) and through the official Blues App. This dual audio option allows commuters and mobile users to stay connected to the game without relying on video streams. As the Blues transition to Blue Note+, fans are encouraged to verify their specific zip code to determine their broadcast territory and ensure they have the correct subscription setup before tip-off, avoiding any last-minute technical hurdles during the game.
