Smith Entertainment Group (SEG) has introduced a pair of streaming services for its Utah Hockey Club’s inaugural season in the National Hockey League (NHL), which include both a standalone service for locally televised Utah Hockey Club games called UtahHC+ and a bundle called SEG+ that features local telecasts for both Utah Hockey Club and Jazz games. The company said it will also continue to offer Jazz+, the standalone streaming service for locally televised Jazz games that it first introduced for the 2023 National Basketball Association season.
SEG’s streaming platforms are operated by New Providence, New Jersey-based technology firm Kiswe.
UtahHC+ will allow fans to stream the team’s 75 games this season airing over the air locally on Scripps-owned KUPX-TV (Channel 16) this season for either $69.99 annually or $14.99 monthly. Jazz+, which will offer the team’s 80 games this season airing locally on Sinclair-owned KJZZ-TV (Channel 14), costs $125.50 annually or $19.99 monthly.
The SEG+ bundle, including both teams’ games, is available only at the annual rate of $174.99 a year and includes a pair of tickets to either a Jazz or Utah Hockey Club game as well as a discount on a one-time merchandise purchase at each team’s online store. Fans will also have the option to purchase individual games for either team without a subscription, starting at $5 each.
In addition to live games, the SEG streaming services will also offer ancillary Utah Hockey Club and Jazz content. Former Arizona Coyotes analyst Tyson Nash, who was not retained as the team’s primary color analyst, will contribute to UtahHC+ content, host alternative broadcasts throughout the season and serve as a guest analyst during select pre- and post-game shows during live telecasts.
Based on the NHL and NBA’s respective rules on local broadcast territories, UtahHC+ will be available to users in a much larger geographic territory than Jazz+ (and, as a result, the full SEG+ bundle). While the Jazz’s local broadcast territory only includes Utah and parts of Idaho and Wyoming, Utah Hockey Club’s map includes Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming and parts of Nevada and California.
