Columbus Blue Jackets 2026–27 TV Schedule
Every game, every network — and exactly what it costs to watch.
The Columbus Blue Jackets opened the 2026–27 season at home against the Buffalo Sabres on Oct 1. Of their 84 games, 2 are exclusive national broadcasts — 1 streaming-only on ESPN+/Hulu and 1 on TNT — while the other 82 air locally on Blue Jackets Hockey Network. That's a new local home for 2026–27: FanDuel Sports Network shut down in April, and the Blue Jackets were among the teams that had to find a new TV partner.
