Senators TV Schedule 2026-27: What Channel Every Ottawa Game Is On
October 26, 2026 · officiel
If you’ve been flipping between TSN5, Sportsnet and the Prime Video app trying to find the Sens game, you’re not the only one. This Senators TV schedule is the guide we wanted ourselves: which channel each game is on, when the odd start times are, and how to watch from anywhere in the Senators’ broadcast region.
And there’s a lot worth watching. Ottawa is 8-4-0 after twelve games, they beat the Leafs in the first Battle of Ontario, and they put seven past the Rangers on Saturday night. Now they head out west, which means some late nights.

Senators TV Schedule: The Simple Rule
Here’s the short version. Where an Ottawa game airs depends mostly on the night:
| Night | English | French | How to stream |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saturday | Sportsnet (usually Sportsnet One) | TVA Sports | Sportsnet+ / TVA Sports Direct |
| Monday (national) | Sportsnet+ only | TVA Sports | Sportsnet+ |
| Wednesday (national) | Prime Video | Prime Video (French feed) | Prime Video app |
| Most other nights | TSN5 (regional) | RDS (regional) | TSN+ / RDS app |
TSN5 carries the biggest share of games, around 53 of them this season. RDS has about 51 regional games in French, and TVA Sports has the French national games.
Senators TV Schedule: Upcoming Games and Channels
Here’s what’s coming up over the next month. Times are Eastern.
| Date | Game | Time (ET) | Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue, Oct 27 | Senators at Golden Knights | 10:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Thu, Oct 29 | Senators at Kings | 10:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Sat, Oct 31 | Senators at Sharks | 4:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Sun, Nov 1 | Senators at Ducks | 8:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Wed, Nov 4 | Senators at Sabres | 7:30 p.m. | Prime Video |
| Sat, Nov 7 | Mammoth at Senators | 7:00 p.m. | Saturday, check Sportsnet |
| Tue, Nov 10 | Capitals at Senators | 7:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Thu, Nov 12 | Avalanche at Senators | 7:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Sat, Nov 14 | Senators at Penguins | 7:00 p.m. | Saturday, check Sportsnet |
| Tue, Nov 17 | Senators at Jets | 8:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Thu, Nov 19 | Flyers at Senators | 7:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Sat, Nov 21 | Kings at Senators | 7:00 p.m. | Saturday, check Sportsnet |
| Mon, Nov 23 | Flames at Senators | 7:30 p.m. | Sportsnet+ only |
| Wed, Nov 25 | Senators at Panthers | 7:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
| Fri, Nov 27 | Senators at Lightning | 3:00 p.m. | TSN5 |
One quirk in the Senators TV schedule is the Halloween game: it’s a 4 p.m. start in San Jose, and it’s on TSN5, not Sportsnet. It’s the one Saturday this year that breaks the usual pattern.
Channels can still change, so confirm on TSN’s Senators regional schedule or NHL.com on game day.
The Western Trip: Plan for Late Nights
The toughest stretch on the Senators TV schedule right now is the four games from October 27 to November 1. They’re the kind that test a fan’s commitment. The Vegas and Los Angeles games both start at 10 p.m. Ottawa time, so you’re looking at a final buzzer around 12:30 a.m. on a work night.
Our advice: set the stream up before 10 so you’re not fumbling with an app login at puck drop. And maybe make coffee the next morning a priority.
Senators TV Schedule on Prime Video: Four Wednesdays
Prime Video has exclusive national Wednesday games in Canada this season. That means these Senators games are only on Prime Video, in English and in French:
| Date | Game | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Wed, Oct 21 | Panthers at Senators | Played (Sens won 5-1) |
| Wed, Nov 4 | Senators at Sabres | Upcoming |
| Wed, Jan 20 | Maple Leafs at Senators | Upcoming |
| Wed, Mar 24 | Senators at Canadiens | Upcoming |
The January 20 game is the second Battle of Ontario. If you missed what happened in the first one, we covered it in Leafs vs Senators 2026-27.
Amazon Prime costs about $9.99 a month or $99 a year. Plenty of people already have it and don’t realise hockey comes with it now.
Monday Games on the Senators TV Schedule: Sportsnet+ Only
This one catches people out. National Monday games are streaming-only on Sportsnet+ this year. For the Senators, that’s seven games:
- October 5 at Boston (played)
- October 12 at New Jersey (played)
- November 23 vs. Calgary
- January 18
- January 25
- February 15
- February 22
If you already get Sportsnet through your TV provider, you may need a $12.99 a month add-on to see these. Sportsnet+ on its own is about $34.99 a month.
The Germany Games: Set an Alarm
The Senators play the Chicago Blackhawks twice in Düsseldorf, Germany as part of the NHL Global Series. The times are unusual:
- Friday, December 18: about 1 p.m. ET
- Sunday, December 20: about 8 a.m. ET
Yes, 8 a.m. on a Sunday. Both are listed on TSN5. Coffee and hockey before church, as the old saying definitely doesn’t go.
Where Can You Watch Senators Games? (Broadcast Region)
The Senators’ regional broadcast area is bigger than most people think. It covers:
- Ontario from Belleville east
- All of Quebec
- The Atlantic provinces
If you live in that region, the TSN5 and RDS games are available to you. If you live outside it, for example in Toronto or Western Canada, regional Senators games will be blacked out. Your options then are Sportsnet+ Premium or NHL Centre Ice, which carry out-of-market games.
You can also listen to every game on TSN 1200 radio and the iHeartRADIO app, which is handy in the car.
How to Watch Senators Games Without Cable
To follow the full Senators TV schedule without cable in the Senators region, this is the setup:
- TSN+ for the regional games (the biggest share, about $25 a month)
- Sportsnet+ for Saturdays and the seven Monday games
- Amazon Prime for the four Wednesday games
- RDS or TVA Sports Direct if you prefer French broadcasts
All of these are streaming apps, so one good streaming device and a solid internet connection are the most important parts. Plug in an ethernet cable if you can, and aim for at least 25 Mbps for smooth HD.
