The Nashville Predators 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.
Local Nashville Predators games are on The Spot - Nashville 28 in Middle Tennessee — free over the air with an antenna, and carried by the cable and satellite providers serving that market. A Scripps Sports deal makes every local Predators game free over the air on WNPX, with selected games also on WTVF NewsChannel 5 and the whole slate on cable and satellite inside the team's territory.
Fubo does not carry The Spot - Nashville 28. Fubo's regional channel list, which is where its own carriage is published, has no Nashville Predators channel on it — so Fubo is the wrong subscription if local games are what you want. It is the right one for the national windows on ESPN, ESPN+, TNT and Max, and it confirms your local channels by ZIP at signup.
Worth saying plainly: the local games cost nothing. An antenna in Middle Tennessee picks up The Spot - Nashville 28 for free, and no streaming service is needed for them at all.

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 Nashville Predators games are free over the air on The Spot - Nashville 28 in Middle Tennessee, which is a better deal than any subscription can offer. ESPN+ serves as the catch-all for out-of-market viewers — every regular-season game outside your local TV market streams there.
