Disney Enhances NHL Coverage Through NHL.TV, ESPN+

Disney Streaming Services is upgrading the NHL’s digital offerings for the 2018/19 season. Games will be available through ESPN+, and NHL.TV will feature 50 percent more pre- and post-game broadcasts from regional sports networks, a “no spoilers” setting for notifications, and a new app for the Apple Watch.

The NHL’s revamped app also embeds venue information previously only accessible through the separate Arena app and overhauls the design of each team page to permit video viewing alongside stories. The app is available on Amazon Fire TV and tablets, Apple Watch, tvOS and iOS, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, and Google’s Chromecast.
