Nashville Predators announce expanded over-the-air broadcast reach for 2026-27 season

The Nashville Predators confirmed a distribution expansion for the 2026-27 season that will bring non-nationally televised games to seven new markets across the South. Fans in Knoxville, Memphis, Chattanooga, Jackson, Lexington, Louisville, and Huntsville will be able to access the games for free over the air. This agreement with Scripps Sports includes 81 regular-season games and four preseason games. Matches in Nashville will air on WNPX Channel 28, also known as The Spot, with additional channel assignments provided for each partner market. This follows a broader multi-year broadcast deal with Scripps Sports reached earlier this year. Three games currently slated for national television will broadcast on ESPN+ instead of the local Scripps network.
