How to Watch
NHL Network in the United States is the home of the IIHF World Championships. The network hasn’t released its full broadcast schedule yet – right now, their website lists only through May 14 – but expect all of the United States’ games to be broadcast.
The network will also televise select other games. Games noted in the schedule above with an asterisk (*) are expected to be broadcast on NHL Network. Once they release a full schedule, I’ll update this list. ESPN+ also has broadcast rights in the United States.
