How To Watch The Minnesota Wild Without FanDuel Sports Network North

The Minnesota Wild are going 'in-house' for the 2026-2027 season's television broadcasts. The team announced the news this morning, as well as naming who will be doing the play-by-play and color commentary. Here's what we know so far, as there are still details that haven't been announced regarding where fans can catch games that aren't nationally televised.

Where Can Minnesota Wild Games Be Found In 2026-2027?

With the announcement by the Minnesota Wild that televised games will be handled in-house, it may make some fans uneasy about how they can watch the Skatriots. Here's what we learned from the announcement. In 2026-2027, other than national televised games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN+/Hulu, and TNT, the Wild will offer viewers a few options to catch the game.

"Fans will be able to watch Minnesota Wild games through a variety of options this season, including cable, satellite, streaming services and over-the-air. More details on availability, channel locations and pricing of a direct-to-consumer streaming option (annual and monthly subscriptions) will be announced prior to the start of the regular season."

This sounds somewhat like what the Minnesota Twins are doing right now, with some games being broadcast on Fox 9, as well as on their own app and on Twins.TV.

Of course, you can listen to Minnesota Wild hockey this season on Granite City Sports AM 1390/93.9FM

Who Will Be Calling The Televised Games?

Fans should be familiar with both the play-by-play announcer and color analysts for the upcoming season, as Anthony LaPanta and Ryan Carter are back in their respective roles.

Other familiar faces on game day will include former Burnsville goalie Kevin Gorg offering rink-side reporting and interviews between periods, and pre- and post-game hosts will be Katie Storm and Wes Walz.

This Might Be What The Timberwolves Will Be Offering Too

With FanDuel Sports Network North off the air, questions surrounded what would happen with the remaining sports teams that used the station to broadcast their games. The Wild are the first domino to fall, and now we are waiting to see what the Minnesota Timberwolves will be doing in the fall for televised broadcasts.

The Twins made the switch last season to an MLB-operated broadcast system for their televised games.
