Detroit Red Wings 2026–27 TV Schedule

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

The Detroit Red Wings opened the 2026–27 season at home against the New York Rangers on Oct 2. Of their 84 games, 17 are exclusive national broadcasts — 5 on ESPN/ABC, 5 streaming-only on ESPN+/Hulu and 7 on TNT — while the other 67 air locally on Detroit SportsNet (DSN). That's a new local home for 2026–27: FanDuel Sports Network shut down in April, and the Red Wings were among the teams that had to find a new TV partner.
