ROGERS AND QUEBECOR AGREE TO NEW 12-YEAR SUBLICENSING DEAL FOR NATIONAL NHL GAMES IN FRENCH

Rogers Communications Inc. and Quebecor Inc. have signed a new 12-year sublicensing agreement for French-language national NHL games, beginning with the 2026-2027 season. As an official French-language NHL broadcaster, TVA Sports and TVA Sports Direct will distribute all games covered by the new agreement, with the illico+ platform joining the broadcast ecosystem.

Starting with the 2026-2027 season, Quebecor will hold the French broadcasting rights for up to 350 regular season NHL games per season, including 32 Montreal Canadiens regular-season games and all Montreal Canadiens games in the Stanley Cup playoffs. This includes 10 more regular-season Montreal games than under the previous agreement; six of the eight first round series of the Stanley Cup playoffs; three of the four second round series; the conference finals and Stanley Cup final; and all NHL tentpole events.

"Quebecor's executive leadership and board of directors are proud to carry on a long-standing tradition that brings together French-speaking Canadians around the NHL and the Montreal Canadiens," said Pierre Karl Peladeau, president and chief executive officer of Quebecor, also thanking the league and Rogers for recognizing what we have been building together since 2014. "Premium sports content, such as NHL hockey and Montreal Canadiens games, remains a unique driver for rallying audiences in real time. We consider ourselves fortunate to be a partner in our national sport and to offer French-speaking Canadians even more Habs games on our local platforms. We are also grateful for the close collaboration of the Montreal Canadiens organization."

"For Rogers, ensuring hockey fans have comprehensive French-language coverage of NHL games is a top priority," said Tony Staffieri, president and chief executive officer, Rogers. "We have had a terrific partnership with TVA Sports for many years, and we look forward to continuing to work together to deliver more NHL games to more French-speaking Quebeckers and Canadians."

"For the past 12 seasons, TVA Sports' French-language broadcasts have connected our game with millions of passionate hockey fans across Quebec and Canada," said Gary Bettman, commissioner, NHL. "Our expanded partnership with Rogers and Quebecor reflects our shared commitment to serving fans, growing the game and ensuring that hockey's biggest moments are available to all audiences."

Last year, Rogers and the NHL announced a 12-year agreement for the national media rights to NHL games on all platforms in Canada, from the 2026-2027 through the 2037-2038 seasons.
