76 of the Sharks 82 Regular Season games to be presented on NBC Sports California
The San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) today announced their complete broadcast schedule for the 2025-26 NHL season, which can be found here.
For the sixth consecutive season, all preseason, regular season and Stanley Cup Playoff games will be carried live on the Sharks Audio Network. The Sharks Audio Network provides an unmatched resource for consistent and unique Sharks and San Jose Barracuda-related audio programming, content, game broadcasts and special features. The 24-hour, seven days a week audio feed is available via the Sharks + SAP Center App, and online at sjsharks.com/listen. Just launch the app and click “Listen” in the top right corner for continuous Sharks coverage regardless of your location.
Additionally, for the third consecutive season, all of the team’s preseason games will be available via video stream on the Sharks digital platforms, as well as the Sharks + SAP Center mobile app. Due to NHL blackout restrictions, the video stream of the games will only be available in the San Jose broadcast market. However, the audio for all preseason games can be found on sjsharks.com/listen from wherever you are tuning in to hear the exciting action.
The Sharks Audio Network’s exclusive game-day coverage can be found throughout the day, with four programs airing prior to evening games. The wall-to-wall coverage begins with “Morning Skate with Dan Rusanowsky and Drew Remenda,” followed by Rusanowsky’s “Teal Report” and “The Buildup with Ted Ramey,” which leads into the official 30-minute Sharks pre-game show prior to puck drop.
Ramey (@TedRameyMedia), who has served as the host of “Morning Tide,” for the last seven seasons, will return as a lead contributor to Sharks Audio Network programming. “Morning Tide” will continue to be heard the morning after every Sharks game this season.
In addition to live Sharks games, listeners can find background stories on the current cast of Sharks players on “Sharks Spotlight,” and learn what their favorite Sharks alumni are up to today on “Where Are They Now?”
“The Undercurrent” with Tara Slone (@TaraSlone) also returns this season and will bring listeners positive stories from the hockey community in the South Bay and beyond.
And of course, there will be exclusive live press conferences, breaking news, interviews with Sharks players, coaches, the front office and more – available all season long. All programming, outside of the actual live game broadcasts, can also be found on demand on the Sharks official website (sjsharks.com/listen), on iTunes and Spotify, or in the Audio section of the Sharks + SAP Center App. To find out about daily schedules of programming and more, follow @SharksAudioNet on X (formerly Twitter).
The Sharks Audio Network is also the home for all San Jose Barracuda (@SJBarracuda) preseason, regular season and Calder Cup Playoff games, with all the action called by Nick Nollenberger (@NickNollen). Barracuda games are accessible in the Sharks + SAP Center App by clicking the “More” icon at the bottom right of the app home screen and selecting the “Cuda” app channel on the left sidebar. Scheduled Barracuda games that are not in conflict with a Sharks broadcast will also air on the main Sharks Audio Network feed. Additional Barracuda-focused programming, such as “Cuda Confidential” can also be found on the network.
Calling the play-by-play action on game broadcasts on the Sharks Audio Network is the 2023 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award Winner Rusanowksy (@DanRusanowsky), who returns for his 35th season behind the microphone. Continuing this season, Rusanowsky will partner will a fantastic group of Sharks alumni, who will bring their nuanced and diverse perspectives to the game broadcasts. Scott Hannan, Jamal Mayers, Alex Stalock, and Dan Boyle will join the audio broadcasts this season as Rusanowsky’s color analyst. Additional Sharks alumni and special guests may also appear for select games.
