St. Louis Blues Viewers Face Blackout Amidst TV Deal Dispute
St. Louis Blues fans are still unable to watch games on DIRECTV or Comcast due to a TV deal dispute, impacting viewership one week into the new season.
St. Louis, MO, October 9, 2026 —
St. Louis Blues fans are continuing to experience difficulties accessing live game broadcasts on major television providers, DIRECTV and Comcast. The ongoing dispute over a television deal has left a significant portion of the fanbase unable to watch their team one week into the new National Hockey League season.
The exact nature of the TV deal dispute and the parties involved beyond the St. Louis Blues, DIRECTV, and Comcast has not been publicly disclosed. This lack of access impacts season ticket holders and casual viewers alike who rely on these platforms for game-day coverage.
As of the start of the season, a resolution has not been reached, leaving fans in the St. Louis area frustrated by the continued inability to view games. Viewership is directly affected as many households subscribe to either DIRECTV or Comcast for their sports programming.
The duration of this blackout remains uncertain, and it is unclear when negotiations will conclude or if an interim agreement will be reached. Fans are advised to monitor official statements from the St. Louis Blues organization or the involved television providers for further updates regarding the status of the TV deal.
