Folks, we’re pretty spoiled when it comes to having the ability to watch Calgary Flames games with little fuss or muss from the comfort of our own homes. Several of us are old enough to remember when a large proportion of the Flames’ regular season schedule was not available on a television broadcast.

These days? Not only is every game available easily, but the team even handles broadcasts for the rookie tournament (and often pre-season games, too). Like we said: we’re spoiled, and things have come a long way. And while fans do grumble a bit about Sportsnet’s broadcasts, the dominance of the NHL’s national TV partner made it easy to figure out how to watch Flames games: they were on one of Sportsnet’s many channels.

Well, that simplicity ends this season, with Amazon Prime coming into the fold. So to help guide our readers, here’s a quick rundown of how to watch Flames games from your own home in 2024-25.

Five Flames games will be on Amazon Prime Video:

Broadcast team details for the Amazon games have yet to be announced. Yes, this means that you’ll need to get a Prime membership if you want to watch all of the Flames’ games this season.

The other 77 regular season games will be on a Sportsnet channel of some kind, with the primary broadcast team for Flames games being new play-by-play voice Jon Abbott with either Kelly Hrudey or Greg Millen doing colour commentary. 27 of the Flames contests will be available on Sportsnet West only within the Flames’ broadcast region.

If you’re doing the math, that means that 50 other Flames games will be available on Sportsnet channels without regional restrictions, which is a decent amount for out-of-market fans. If you only get the following Sportsnet channels, here’s how many games you’ll be able to see on each – bearing in mind that because several games are on multiple channels, this number adds up to more than 50:

Additionally, 15 games are slated for Hockey Night in Canada (typically shown on CBC or the various regional Sportsnet channels), with the specific channel being assigned closer to the broadcast date. We’ll provide more details on those broadcasts as they become available.
