How to watch the NYR (legally) in 2024-2025

[Whoot Whoot]

I just called ESPN and they said all the rangers broadcasts are blacked out this year for me (Los Angeles).
Is Gotham the only play in town? 279 a year???

I am watching on ESPN+. Why would they be blacked out in LA?

Yes, why am I blacked out in LA?

Yes, why am I blacked out in LA?

You should ask them that

It's blacked out there because LA sucks. I lived there for a year and hated it.

I told a guy at ESPN and they seem to agree with me. Sorry @Whoot Whoot


If it really isn't working for you, you could always get Fubo and MAX. That would be a lot pricier but will cover all the games. You could also watch the games a la carte with this:

You should definitely try to contact ESPN+ customer service though. You are clearly out of market and should be able to see the games.

Yeah I don’t understand why a NY team would be blacked out in LA.

Should be illegal to do that.

I've spent $0 on the NHL since the they started putting up digital ads, ads on helmets, and ads on jerseys, and you should too.

ESPN+ & TNT are blacked out here in CT for the Bruins & the Rangers, but not the f***ing Isles or Devils

I have Max, how can I watch every game?

 

[Profet]

The simple answer is that the NHL hates streaming/streamers.

Region blackouts are stupid in the age of VPNs.

Their only purpose is to make it more difficult/impossible to watch games.

I had ESPN+ for other reasons and so I was happy when the NHL moved their streaming to that platform. I live in the DC market and don't ever have any blackout issues--it's only the games that are being broadcast nationally I think. And fortunately I have the other channels and services the games are on (which is TNT, NHL Network, and what else?).
