The team is considering cutting ties with Victory+ and broadcasting games on Amazon Prime Video for the 2026-27 season, a person familiar with the discussion told The Dallas Morning News<\/a> on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move would follow similar decisions by the Texas Rangers<\/a> and Anaheim Ducks to leave Victory+ in July amid growing concerns about the viability and financial solvency of the platform. The Rangers moved Rangers Sports Network-produced games to BZZR<\/a>, a new streaming platform for which one of the team\u2019s minority owners, Neil Leibman, is a partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stars became the flagship partner of Victory+ when the team signed a seven-year agreement with its parent company, A Parent Media Co. Inc., in July 2024 to become the first major professional sports team to stream all of its games directly to fans for free through an ad-supported model. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Spokespeople for the Dallas Stars and the NHL declined to comment. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The expectation is that Stars games would no longer be free to watch on Amazon. A Prime Video subscription costs $8.99 per month for a standalone subscription with ads. It is also included at no extra cost with a full Amazon Prime Membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stars would join the Seattle Kraken, which moved games to Prime Video ahead of the 2024-25 season. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The NHL and Prime Video reached an agreement in July for the platform to exclusively broadcast Wednesday night regular-season national NHL games in English and French in Canada beginning this season. Amazon Prime also produced two seasons of the series \u201cFACEOFF: Inside the NHL,\u201d which gives a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of several NHL players. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The future of Victory+ remains uncertain. The Stars\u2019 departure would be consequential, as the team holds equity in the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Victory+ has also streamed games for the St. Louis Blues, National Women\u2019s Soccer League, University Interscholastic League, Minnesota Lynx, Atlanta Dream and Western Hockey League. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
