Carolina Hurricanes 2026–27 TV Schedule

Every game, every network — and exactly what it costs to watch.

The Carolina Hurricanes opened the 2026–27 season at home against the Florida Panthers on Sep 29. Of their 84 games, 12 are exclusive national broadcasts — 2 on ESPN/ABC, 6 streaming-only on ESPN+/Hulu and 4 on TNT — while the other 72 air locally on Hurricanes Hockey Network. That's a new local home for 2026–27: FanDuel Sports Network shut down in April, and the Hurricanes were among the teams that had to find a new TV partner.
