ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues announced on Friday a diverse lineup of streaming options for their upcoming 2024 preseason schedule that is designed to provide hockey fans with added flexibility to live stream select Blues games wherever and however they want to watch.
In addition to live streams on the Blues App and stlouisblues.com presented for select games in past preseasons, the Blues have signed a working agreement with A Parent Media Co. (APMC), owner of the newly formed Victory+, to add select preseason broadcasts to their free direct-to-consumer streaming platform. The new network officially launches its first live sports broadcast on Saturday with the Blues preseason opener at Dallas at 6 p.m.
"We couldn’t be more excited that all the pieces of the puzzle came together for us to reach a larger audience of Blues fans with a wide range of streaming options for watching the start of what promises to be an exciting season of Blues hockey," Blues President and CEO of Business Operations Chris Zimmerman said in a statement. "The opportunity to add an emerging streaming platform like Victory+ to our existing preseason streaming mix came along at the perfect time, providing a platform that is free to users and enhances our ability to meet our fans where they are and how they want to consume our games.
“We look forward to returning to Bally Sports for our regular season and first-round playoff broadcasts in 2024-25 and are progressing towards being able to share full local broadcast details with our fans in advance of the regular season."
Overall, six of seven Blues preseason games this year are currently slated for live stream broadcasts, with the lone exception being Oct. 5 against the Chicago Blackhawks in Milwaukee.
While the neutral site game vs. the Utah Hockey Club in Des Moines, Iowa on Sunday at 6 p.m. will only be streamed on the Blues App and stlouisblues.com, the other five broadcasts will also be available free-of-charge on Victory+ to stream live and on-demand for 72 hours by fans within the Blues’ regional television territory.
