Vegas Golden Knights Celebrate Fourth Season with ViewLift's Streaming Platform Growth Ahead of NHL Preseason

Vegas Golden Knights and ViewLift's Fourth Season Together

As the National Hockey League (NHL) preseason approaches, the Vegas Golden Knights and ViewLift are excited to announce the kickoff of their fourth season together. This year, the partnership has marked remarkable achievements in their direct-to-customer streaming service, KnightTime+, showcasing unprecedented growth in user engagement.

In a significant development, KnightTime+ has reported a staggering 76% year-over-year growth in registered users, alongside a 57% increase in viewing numbers. These results demonstrate a robust appetite for streaming Golden Knights hockey, reflecting both the team’s popularity and the effectiveness of the platform.

Enhancements to the Viewer Experience

To enhance the fan experience, KnightTime+ will introduce various upgrades as the new season commences. One key feature is the 'start-from-the-beginning' function, which allows fans to join a live game from the puck drop, enabling them to experience every moment of the action, even if they tune in late. Additionally, fans will have the capability to pause or rewind live broadcasts, similar to a DVR, making it easier to catch any thrilling highlights they might miss.

Moreover, KnightTime+ is expanding its accessibility by partnering with Google TV, thereby adding yet another major platform for fans to enjoy their favorite games. This improvement is part of a broader strategy to ensure the Golden Knights' games reach audiences across Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, as well as parts of California and Nebraska.

Record-Breaking Growth

Reflecting on this growth, Scott Kegley, Chief Digital Officer of the Vegas Golden Knights, stated: _“Three years in, KnightTime+ has become an integral part of how our fans experience our team. This season's growth is proof of that, and the updates we are rolling out — from DVR-style playback to Google TV — are giving fans new and exciting options for viewing Golden Knights hockey.”_

Rick Allen, CEO of ViewLift, added: _“Three years ago, we signed on as the streaming partner for a team that had just won its first Stanley Cup. Today, joining forces with DAZN gives us the scale to build on that momentum across the regional sports market.”_

This trajectory of growth is not only limited to the Golden Knights; it signifies the potential for further expansion across a larger audience as ViewLift continues to innovate within the streaming space.

A New Chapter in Streaming Sports

KnightTime+, developed in partnership with Scripps Sports, was launched in September 2023 and has since transformed how fans interact with the Golden Knights. The service enables audience engagement through real-time analytics and viewer interaction tools, creating a truly immersive experience for hockey enthusiasts.

Fans can subscribe to KnightTime+ for the entire season for just $69.99, with new subscribers enjoying a free trial until September 30, allowing them to experience all the features firsthand. As the Golden Knights prepare to face the Los Angeles Kings on September 19, 2026, excitement is palpable not just for the match, but for the robust platform that connects the team with its supporters.
