The Columbus Blue Jackets play in the National Hockey League. NHL games run on national windows across ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, and Max — plus regional sports networks for in-market broadcasts. ESPN+ carries every out-of-market regular-season game.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have not said where their local games will be televised in 2026-27. Every game will be simulcast across television and radio from 2026-27, but the club has not yet said which television outlet carries them.
Until they do, the Columbus Blue Jackets games with a confirmed home are the national windows — ESPN, ESPN+, TNT and Max — and Fubo carries those. Nothing on sale today is guaranteed to show you the local schedule, so this is a bad week to buy a subscription on the strength of it. This page updates when the club announces.

NHL broadcasts run through three primary lanes. National games air on ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, and Max under the league's media-rights deals. In-market Columbus Blue Jackets games have no announced television home for 2026-27 — the club has not named a broadcaster, so this lane is genuinely unsettled rather than merely complicated. ESPN+ serves as the catch-all for out-of-market viewers — every regular-season game outside your local TV market streams there.
For Columbus Blue Jackets games specifically, the provider filters above will surface upcoming games watchable on your current cable, streaming, or RSN subscriptions before you decide whether ESPN+ is worth adding for the rest of the season.
The exact channel for today's the Columbus Blue Jackets game is shown on the live game card above, pulled from the official NHL schedule. Columbus Blue Jackets broadcasts air across ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, and Max. In-market games have no announced television home for 2026-27 yet.
Today's the Columbus Blue Jackets start time is shown on the game card above in your local time zone, synced live with the NHL schedule. If the Columbus Blue Jackets are off today, the next scheduled game is shown instead.
Use the provider filters above to mark the streaming services and cable packages you already pay for — the schedule then highlights every upcoming Columbus Blue Jackets game you can watch on your current plan.

No. Live-TV streaming services like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, and DirecTV Stream carry most of the channels that broadcast Columbus Blue Jackets games. The local games are the open question — the club has not named a broadcaster for 2026-27, so no service can promise them yet. The provider filters above will show which upcoming Columbus Blue Jackets games are available on your current streaming setup.
