The 2026 NHL season is barely a month old, but it has seen storylines in abundance—from the rechristened Mammoth's long winning streak to the Rangers' persistent struggles.

On Tuesday, those storylines will be on full display for fans from British Columbia to South Florida. All 32 teams will play in the Frozen Frenzy, a showcase for ESPN's coverage of the network featuring a whiparound show in the vein of NFL Red Zone.

Hockey fans will be able to gorge on matchups from 6 p.m. ET, when the Penguins and Flyers face off in the Battle of Pennsylvania, to 11 p.m. ET, when the Kings and Sharks renew their rivalry.

Here's a brief overview of the Frozen Frenzy, its participants, and how to watch it.

What is the Frozen Frenzy?

ESPN inaugurated the Frozen Frenzy for the 2024 season, the third season of its revived NHL rights package. On Oct. 24, 2023, all 32 teams took the ice at a series of staggered start times, and every game was aired on the ESPN family of networks—three games on ESPN and 13 on ESPN+.

The third annual event is much the same, with three games airing on ESPN and 13 on ESPN+ once again. An accompanying whiparound show will start on Disney+, ESPN2 and ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET before moving exclusively to streaming 90 minutes in.
