The Swedish Hockey League announced on Friday that they've agreed to a partnership with ESPN to broadcast their games worldwide for the 2022-23 season.

"To enter a global partnership with ESPN, a marquee sports broadcaster globally, is massively important for the global reach of the league. We are proud to bring fans the best European hockey available." SHL CEO Jenny Silfverstrand said.

Games during the 2022-23 SHL season will be broadcasted to over 130 countries as apart of the deal. It's unclear as of yet if the games will be on TV or if they will be on ESPN+ and Hulu.
