For the fourth consecutive season, and the fourth time in team history, the Nashville Predators will have all 82 regular-season games televised, with 70 contests televised regionally on FOX Sports Tennessee and 12 televised nationally—11 on NBCSN and one on NBC. The new schedule is the centerpiece to the 2018-19 television broadcast, which commences in New York against the Rangers, Oct. 4 on NBCSN.
The 2018-19 broadcast lineup continues to produce expansive coverage as a result of FOX Sports Tennessee’s commitment to the Predators.

These shows will feature highlights, analysis and interviews, and will originate from the FOX Sports Tennessee Zone at Bridgestone Arena for all home games.
FOX Sports Tennessee will televise Nashville Predators games to seven million households across Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Channel listings by state can be found on the website at www.foxsports.com/tennessee/predators-channel-listings.
