ESPN+ reaches 2-year deal with women’s pro hockey league
Women’s pro hockey in the United States will continue having a broadcast home on ESPN+ after the Premier Hockey Federation announced a two-year contract extension with the streaming service. ESPN+ will provide live coverage of PHF regular-season games, special events, and the Isobel Cup playoffs. The deal comes a season after the two first formed a partnership in which the PHF’s championship game aired live on ESPN2. The PHF is entering its eighth season and is expanding to seven teams with the addition of Montreal.
