How to watch every Detroit Red Wings game this season without breaking the bank
The Detroit Red Wings season begins in Little Caesars Arena against the Montreal Canadiens on October 9th, with numerous events taking place, including Sergei Fedorov's jersey retirement; here's how to watch, and how much it'll cost.
The Detroit Red Wings will begin their 2025-26 season on home ice against the Montreal Canadiens on October 9th.
This marks the beginning of the team's 100th season in the NHL, and one chock-full of excitement.
Fans can watch the team on FanDuel, as they can expect a legend in
Sergei Fedorov to be honored a final time this year, against the Carolina Hurricanes on January 12th.
Of course, catching all 82 games, including
Patrick Kane's campaign for a spot on the Olympics, could seem like a chore. But we've got a way to skirt that method and make it an easy viewing experience.
FSDN is the Red Wings' local broadcaster, meaning if you're going to watch games in Michigan, that's how you'll view them.
However, when it comes to National Games and other events during the season, you'll need a digital antenna to catch games on ABC (for in-market fans).
Those typically run about $20-50 dollars, and you'll be able to catch the Pittsburgh Penguins game on January 3rd with that, and more.
The FSDN App typically costs $19.99 a month, and $10 more if you include the Detroit Pistons in your streaming options.
If you go for the annual plan ($239) a year, you can utilize it on iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, and catch the pre- and post-game shows.
Pair it with Amazon Prime ($14.99) or ($19.00) for seamless out-of-market viewing.
And if you don't like that option, you could go the ESPN+ route, at $11.99 a month and get more options for 1,000 out-of-market games i.e., NHL Power-play.
You can add more value to the subscription by adding Disney+ and Hulu to make the viewing experience more in-depth, and add more sports options at $14.99 a month.
DirecTV ($114.99) and Fubo ($79.99) options remain the costlier choices out of all available.
Other choices to consider: a one-time antenna ($50), ESPN+ ($109.99 a year), and FSDN ($239.99 a year) to capture local games and national games, all the while leveraging the free trials.
You'll be able to utilize the app to listen to 97.1 The Ticket for free.
If you budget correctly, you should be paying $349.99 a year for all applications involved to catch every Red Wings game this season.
