Florida Panthers fans who tried to watch Tuesday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators in South Florida on Comcast were met with disappointment.
Due to a contract dispute, Comcast has dropped coverage of Scripps TV stations, which includes the Panthers’ broadcast channels.
“As a result, tonight’s Panthers game will not be broadcast on Comcast in Miami Dade, Broward and West Palm Beach,” the Panthers said in a statement posted on social media on Tuesday shortly after the start of the game. “In those counties, Panthers games can be found over the air, on other cable and satellite providers and on the Panthers Plus app.
“If you are experiencing this blackout, please contact Comcast at 1-800-934-6489 and ask them to return your Panthers programming.”
The Panthers moved their local broadcast for games to Scripps Sports from Bally Sports Florida ahead of the 2024-25 season. In Miami-Dade and Broward, those games are on WSFL-Channel 39. The Panthers’ other TV affiliates will be WHDT-9 in Palm Beach/Treasure Coast and WFTX-Channel 36.3 in Fort Myers/Naples.
