Let’s get the annoying part out of the way first: you won’t find ECHL games sitting on ESPN or your cable box. There’s no big national TV deal for minor-league hockey at this level. So if you want to watch your team this season, it almost always comes down to one place — FloHockey — plus a few free workarounds for people who just want to keep tabs on the score.
The season runs October 16, 2026 through April 11, 2027, then the Kelly Cup playoffs. Here’s how to follow it.
FloHockey is the main event
Every game streams on FloHockey, which is part of the FloSports family. It’s a paid subscription — there’s no way around that if you want live video of full games.
A few things worth knowing before you hand over a card number. FloSports sells it monthly or annually, and the annual plan is the one that makes sense if you’re watching all season; paying month-to-month from October to April costs noticeably more than the yearly rate. Prices tend to shift from one season to the next, so check what they’re actually charging right now rather than trusting a number you read somewhere. And the subscription isn’t ECHL-only — it also gets you the AHL and a pile of other hockey, which softens the sting a bit if you follow more than one league.
Games are there live and stick around on-demand afterward, so a late puck drop on a work night isn’t the end of the world.
What you can watch it on
Pretty much whatever you already own. There’s a web player at flohockey.tv, apps for iPhone and Android, and TV apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Android/Google TV. If your smart TV isn’t cooperating, you can AirPlay or Chromecast it from your phone.
If you’d rather listen
Most clubs still do a local radio call, and a lot of them put that audio stream up free on their own website or through a local station. If you only care about one team and you’re fine listening instead of watching, the team site is honestly the fastest route — skip the subscription and put the radio broadcast on.
Some teams also cut deals for local or regional TV on a handful of home games, but it’s spotty and depends entirely on the market. Don’t count on it league-wide.
Just want the score?
You don’t need to pay anything to follow along. The ECHL’s own site and app carry live scores, standings and stats, and every team is active on social with real-time updates. Plenty of fans never buy the stream and just track games that way.
Watching from outside North America
FloHockey works in a lot of countries beyond the US and Canada, so if you’re an expat or just a neutral who got into a team, you can usually subscribe and watch. What’s available and what it costs varies by region — check their site for your country.
The short version
FloHockey (paid) if you want to see the games. Team radio streams (usually free) if you’d rather listen. The ECHL app (free) if you just want scores. That covers about everyone.
