Colorado Avalanche games will not be viewable in Colorado and the surrounding states as matters stand right now. The big three TV providers — Comcast, Dish Network, and DirecTV — have dropped the Avs’ broadcast network, Altitude TV.
The drop is part of an ongoing saga which you can read about here. However, with T-1 month until the regular season starts, as of right now local fans will have no (legitimate) way to watch the much-anticipated season coming up.
So, now is the time to blaze the trail. As Avs insider Adrian Dater points out, part of what’s going in between Altitude and the Big 3 is TV carriers attempting to recoup lost revenue from viewers cutting the cord by squeezing regional sports networks.
