If you live in the Leafs TV market, most games will stream through Sportsnet+, however, TSN Direct will have 26 regional games this season.

However, If you are in the United States, then ESPN+ will carry any Leafs game this season that isn’t exclusive to a national broadcast on ESPN or TNT. Games will also be blacked out if you live in the opposing team’s market. In those cases, you would need your local team’s Regional Sports Network.

If the Leafs aren’t playing your local NHL team much this season, then you can subscribe directly to ESPN+ and pick up Sling Orange for Leafs games on TNT and ESPN. Sling also has an option for NHL Network as well.

However, if the Leafs are playing your local team a lot this season, then people who live in the Blackhawks, Flyers, Sharks, or Capitals TV Market should pick up Hulu Live TV as that streaming service includes ESPN+ along with ESPN and TNT. Other Markets will want to subscribe directly to ESPN+ for the bulk of Leafs games and then pick up DIRECTV STREAM’s Choice Plan for games when your local team is playing the Leafs.

DIRECTV STREAM includes ESPN and TNT, and they carry every US-based NHL team’s RSN (if you live in that market) except for the Flyers.

What Channel Are The Maple Leafs On

Where you can watch the Toronto Maple Leafs depends on whether or not you live inside the Toronto Maple Leafs TV market (Ontario, west of Belleville). If you live inside that market, you can watch Maple Leafs games on Sportsnet Now and TSN Direct. However, if you live in the US, you will need ESPN, ESPN+, and TNT. Let’s take a look at your options based on where you live.
