Further, NENT Group will present extensive coverage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Stanley Cup Final and marquee NHL events throughout the season, including the NHL Winter Classic, NHL All-Star Game, NHL Stadium Series, NHL Heritage Classic and NHL Global Series.<\/p>\n<p>Studio programming and local-language commentary will be available for many games. Many key games will also be shown on NENT Group\u2019s TV channels, including on free-to-air television.<\/p>\n<p>Anders Jensen, NENT Group President and CEO, said: \u201cWe have now secured all of our key sports rights in the Nordics for many years to come. This extension with the NHL is a fantastic complement to our recent long-term deals for Premier League, Formula 1, FIS winter sports, IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, Bundesliga, the Swedish men\u2019s football team and more. The NHL\u2019s quality and excitement are both unmatched, and its large Nordic contingent makes it a local competition for our viewers, who can look forward to even more of the world\u2019s best ice hockey on Viaplay every week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Proper, senior executive VP of media and international strategy at NHL, said: \u201cThe NHL has enjoyed a growing roster of NHL stars with roots in the Nordic region and a strong and expanding fan base and viewing audience. The passion Nordic fans have shown for the NHL has been tremendous and that is due, in large part, to our incredible partnership with NENT Group and its commitment to making every game available locally and extensively promoting the NHL\u2019s Nordic hockey heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) has extended its exclusive agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL) to broadcast NHL games in the Nordic region through 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":10594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1751,2553],"class_list":["post-10593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-nent-group","tag-nhl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NENT Group Extends NHL Broadcast Rights - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NENT Group Extends NHL Broadcast Rights - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) has extended its exclusive agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL) to broadcast NHL games in the Nordic region through 2026.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-11-05T15:40:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-11-05T15:52:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/NENT-Group-Logo-1019.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"449\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"276\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/\",\"name\":\"NENT Group Extends NHL Broadcast Rights - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-11-05T15:40:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-11-05T15:52:05+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2020\/11\/05\/nent-group-extends-nhl-broadcast-rights\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"NENT Group Extends NHL Broadcast Rights\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
