Ottawa Senators games are split across three services this season, and none of them are free. TSN5 carries the regional package under a long-term extension signed in April 2026, Sportsnet and CBC carry Hockey Night in Canada, and Prime Video has its own national slate with four Senators games in it. Stacking all three runs to roughly $70 a month.
Where are Senators games shown?
Three places. TSN5 has the regional package and shows the largest share of the season. Sportsnet and CBC split Hockey Night in Canada on Saturdays, plus other national dates. Prime Video carries its own exclusive national games, four of which involve Ottawa. No single subscription covers all of them.
How many games are on TSN5?
Not announced. TSN carried 50 Senators games last season and signed a long-term extension with the club in April 2026, but the 2026-27 regional count has not been published. Expect it to be in the same range.
What does it cost to watch every Senators game?
About $70 a month if you buy all three: TSN, Sportsnet and Prime Video. You can drop one and still see most of the season — Prime carries only four Ottawa games, so dropping it is the cheapest cut — but there is no combination of two that covers everything.
Which Senators games are on Prime Video?
Four across the season, including Florida at Ottawa on Wednesday 21 October. Prime’s games are national exclusives, which means they are not on TSN5 and not on Sportsnet — the only way to watch them is a Prime subscription.
Who calls the games on radio?
TSN 1200, with Dean Brown on play-by-play and Gord Wilson on colour. Brown has called Senators hockey for most of the club’s existence and the radio broadcast is the one constant across every rights change.
Are Senators games blacked out?
Yes, inside the territory. Regional TSN5 games are blacked out on out-of-market packages for viewers in the Ottawa region, which is the point of a regional deal. Outside Canada, Senators games are available on NHL Power Play through the ESPN app in the United States.
When do the Senators open?
Saturday 3 October, away at Toronto — a Hockey Night in Canada date, so the season starts on Sportsnet or CBC rather than on TSN5.
