Spectrum customers will not have to buy a separate subscription in order to watch the Wild during the 2026-27 season. Minnesota is debuting a new Wild+ broadcast this season, which will be included in Spectrum TV, according to a release from the team on Wednesday.

“We’re thrilled to bring Wild+ to Spectrum customers throughout the Minnesota Wild broadcast territory this season,” Minnesota Wild Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Vice President Mitch Helgerson said in a release. “Adding Spectrum is another important step in our efforts to ensure broad distribution of Wild+ throughout the State of Hockey.”

For fans without Spectrum TV, it’ll cost $19.99 a month or $99.99 a year to purchase a Wild+ subscription, which you will be able to watch through Prime Video. The NHL is in discussions with additional cable and satellite providers regarding distribution of Wild+, according to the release.

Fans will be allowed to download the Wild+ app on Prime Video on September 28. The team is “working” on Comcast, DirecTV, and other cable providers, according to Wild beat reporter Michael Russo.

In simple terms, local Minnesota Spectrum customers will have Wild games included in their service. The only other way to currently watch non-nationally televised games is through the Wild+ subscription.

Minnesota will have two more preseason games before opening the regular season on October 1 against the Predators in Nashville.
