The St. Louis Blues and Montreal Canadiens prepare to collide in a pivotal NHL matchup, but fans must navigate a significant shift in broadcasting infrastructure to catch the action. For viewers within the Blues broadcast territory, the team has fully transitioned from FanDuel Sports Network to its new in-market service, Blue Note+. This dedicated broadcast network is accessible exclusively through the Prime Video app, offering a seamless streaming experience for local supporters. The service carries a subscription fee of $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year, providing not only live game coverage but also exclusive behind-the-scenes content throughout the season.
Blue Note+ launches for local fans as out-of-market options expand for the rivalry clash.
Existing cable and satellite subscribers can still access Blue Note+ without additional cost if they hold specific packages. Spectrum customers with Stream TV Pro, Stream TV VIP, or Select plans, along with DIRECTV subscribers on Choice or higher tiers, U-verse users on U200 or above, and Fubo Pro plan holders, will find the channel included in their lineup. This integration ensures that traditional pay-TV customers retain access to local games while the league continues to push digital-first distribution models. Fans should verify their specific package details to confirm eligibility before game time.
For out-of-market audiences, the viewing landscape remains robust with multiple premium options available. National broadcasts will air on TNT, ESPN, ESPN+, or ABC depending on the specific game slot, while non-nationally televised matches can be streamed via NHL Center Ice on Spectrum or DIRECTV. Additionally, ESPN+ subscribers with Select or Unlimited plans can access games through the ESPN App. Audio coverage is equally comprehensive, with every Blues game available live on 101 ESPN (101.1 FM) and within the official Blues App, ensuring that fans can follow the action from anywhere.
