SAN JOSE – Fans interested in watching the San Jose Sharks’ road game against the Utah Mammoth on Friday will need a subscription to ESPN+ or Hulu.
The Walt Disney Company announced in August that it would stream four Sharks regular-season games exclusively on ESPN+ and Hulu, starting with the team’s season opener on Oct. 9 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The streaming service will also show the Sharks’ road game against the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 11 and San Jose’s home game against the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 20.
Friday’s game will begin shortly after 6 p.m. (PT).
As of now, a monthly subscription to ESPN+ will cost $12, and it can be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu for $16.99 per month with commercials. As of Nov. 6, the ESPN+ subscription rate will increase to $13 per month.
For Friday’s ESPN+ broadcast, Roxy Bernstein will have the play-by-play, and A.J. Mleczko will serve as the color analyst.
The Sharks (0-1-2) lost to the Carolina Hurricanes 5-1 on Tuesday and are now the last remaining winless team in the NHL. Utah (2-2-0) is coming off a 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday in its first home game of the season at the refurbished Delta Center.
NBC Sports California will broadcast the Sharks’ game Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Longtime play-by-play announcer Randy Hahn and color analyst Drew Remenda will have the call.
