LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights are expected to broadcast 69 games for free to fans in Nevada and surrounding states during the 2023-24 NHL season.
As part of the team's partnership with Scripps Sports, the games will be broadcast on Vegas 34, KMCC, which will televise all non-nationally exclusive Golden Knights games free over the air for viewers with an antenna, cable or satellite subscription.
