On Wednesday morning, ESPN and TNT released their official national broadcasts for the upcoming NHL season which included seven Utah Mammoth games.
In addition to the marquee Winter Classic that will be carried by TNT, six other Mammoth matchups will be nationally televised, including Utah’s home opener, their initial rematch with the Vegas Golden Knights, two meetings with the Seattle Kraken and a pair of late season games against the Anaheim Ducks and Colorado Avalanche.
Despite the expanded regular season, the Utah Mammoth’s nationally televised scheduled decreased from 11 games in 2025-26 to just seven in 2026-27.
In terms of a league standpoint, the Mammoth will have the eighth fewest games (tied with Anaheim and Seattle) broadcast on a national platform.
