Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For Detroit Red Wings fans located in San Jose, California, you're in an ideal position to catch every game without the frustration of local blackouts. San Jose is considered an out-of-market territory for the Red Wings, meaning you won't encounter regional broadcast restrictions that often plague in-market viewers. This opens up a wealth of options for streaming every single Red Wings game live. The most comprehensive way to ensure you don't miss any action is through ESPN+, which broadcasts all out-of-market NHL games.
