NHL Stars Spark Olympic Viewership Boom

An opinion piece argues the NHL should keep sending players to the Olympics because NHL participation dramatically boosts international viewership and national pride, even if it risks injuries or limited league profits. It cites the USA–Canada excitement in events like the 4 Nations Face-Off (nearly 10 million viewers for the final), and historic sports-media numbers such as 27.6 million viewers for the 2010 Olympic gold-medal game and 17.1 million for the Salt Lake City Games, contrasting with the 8.9 million peak for the modern-era Stanley Cup Final. The article concludes the intrinsic value for fans—seeing the world’s best compete for country—outweighs short‑term financial concerns and suggests building more World Cup‑style international events could yield long-term gains.

Sony's State of Play Breaks Viewing Records

Sony's latest State of Play drew about 3.2 million views, making it the most-watched episode in the format’s history, with roughly 83% of readers rating it as good in Push Square’s poll. While it trails Nintendo Directs and 2023's PlayStation Showcase in all-time views, the reception and rising viewership suggest growing importance for Sony's livestream reveals and ongoing partnerships (notably with Konami) ahead of more single-player focused PS5 titles.

NHL Stadium Series Draws Bigger TV Crowd Than Winter Classic in 2026

The 2026 NHL Stadium Series (Bruins vs. Lightning) drew 2.1 million viewers on ESPN, the most-watched regular-season NHL game on cable and the best since the Bruins-Blackhawks Winter Classic in 2019. By contrast, the 2026 Winter Classic on TNT/TruTV drew about 978,000 (rising above 1 million with HBO Max streaming). The Winter Classic faces competition from college football and remains on TNT, while the Stadium Series benefited from a primetime ESPN slot and a Nielsen Big Data boost, and even outdrew several NBA games that weekend. The NHL/ESPN also noted a season-wide rise in viewership (ESPN/ABC averaging 795,000; TNT averaging 340,000), and next year’s Stadium Series (Golden Knights vs. Stars at AT&T Stadium) will air in primetime on ABC.
