The St. Louis Blues added another distribution platform for Blue Note+ today as the NHL finalized a multi-year distribution agreement with FuboTV to broadcast games within the Blues’ broadcast territory. The new team-owned multimedia network for regional telecasts has now confirmed distribution agreements with Prime Video, Spectrum, and Fubo, while continuing negotiations with other providers in the lead up to the start of the regular season.
“We are excited to add Fubo as another popular platform where our fans can watch Blues hockey on Blue Note+ this season,” said Steve Chapman, Blues Executive Vice President, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer. “We are working to create as many viewing options as possible for Blues fans across multiple platforms to let them prioritize according to their personal preferences.”
Blue Note+ is set to locally produce 73 games during the 2026-27 campaign, every regular season contest beyond the 11 nationally slated for exclusive NHL broadcast partners ABC, ESPN, ESPN+/Hulu, and TNT. Featuring extensive pre and postgame shows, hockey fans across the club’s five-state broadcast territory will have multiple options for watching Blues games, including:
- Video Service Providers: The Blues continue working to secure distribution agreements with cable, satellite, and digital distributors in St. Louis and throughout the broadcast territory to ensure fans can access Blue Note+ through their preferred service. Updates on distributor agreements and channel locations will be shared publicly as available.
- Streaming: Blue Note+ will be available to stream on Prime Video within the team’s broadcast territory via a free Amazon account and subscription for either $19.99 per month or $99.99 annually. While subscriptions will be available soon, interested fans can sign up at stlblues.formstack.com/forms/where_to_watch_interest to be alerted when active.
The Blues join the Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Minnesota Wild in the distribution agreement with Fubo that will see each of the teams available to subscribers in their respective markets. Fubo’s leading sports offering includes more than 80,000 live sporting events annually, with many streaming in 4K, and over 50 regional sports networks in its base package at the lowest cost compared to other streaming options. Fubo’s hockey coverage includes NHL Network, ESPN and ABC as well as RSNs. In addition to its leading sports coverage, Fubo also streams popular live entertainment and news programming and features more than 40,000 TV shows and movies on-demand each month.
“Hockey fans in the Carolinas, Columbus, Minnesota and St. Louis can enjoy coverage of their favorite teams on Fubo this season,” said Todd Mathers, executive vice president, content strategy & acquisition, Fubo. “The addition of these RSNs to our already robust local sports coverage means Fubo subscribers can continue to enjoy their favorite local teams despite recent shifts in sports rights ownership.”
“We’re excited to bring Hurricanes, Blue Jackets, Wild and Blues games to Fubo,” said David Proper, Chief Media Officer, NHL. “Fans in Carolina, Columbus, Minnesota and St. Louis bring incredible passion and excitement to the game every night and this partnership gives them another great option to watch their team all season long.”
Specific Blue Note+ channel locations with all distribution partners and launch dates will be listed at stlouisblues.com/watch as soon as they are available. Fans that don’t live in the Blues local broadcast territory can continue to watch Blues games live via NHL Center Ice on select platforms and NHL Power Play on the ESPN App.
