Also in sports news, Prime Video inked a multi-year deal with the NHL to exclusively stream games for six teams starting with the 2026-27 season. For Amazon, the objective is to help regional sports fans more easily access regular-season games and pre- and post-game programming in the area. The move will also help establish Prime Video as a local sports streaming hub, as media companies compete with each other for sports rights in hopes of wooing more subscribers and advertisers.
