SEG introduces local Utah Hockey Club streaming service

Smith Entertainment Group announced details of its in-market streaming offerings for Utah Hockey Club’s inaugural season, which include both a standalone service for locally televised Utah Hockey Club games called UtahHC+ and a bundle called SEG+ that features local telecasts for both Utah Hockey Club and Jazz games. The company will also continue to offer Jazz+, the standalone streaming service for locally televised Jazz games that it first introduced for the 2023 NBA season. SEG’s streaming platforms are powered by N.J.-based technology firm Kiswe. 

UtahHC+ will allow fans to stream the team’s 75 games this season airing over the air locally on Scripps-owned KUPX-TV this season for either $69.99 annually or $14.99 monthly. Jazz+, which will offer the team’s 80 games this season airing locally on Sinclair-owned KJZZ-TV, costs $129.99 annually or $19.99 monthly.  

The SEG+ bundle including both teams’ games is available only at the annual rate of $174.99 a year and includes a pair of tickets to either a Jazz or Utah HC game as well as a discount on a one-time merchandise purchase. Fans will also have the option to purchase individual games for either team without a subscription, starting at $5 each. 

In addition to live games, the SEG streaming services will also offer ancillary Utah Hockey Club and Jazz content. Former Coyotes analyst Tyson Nash, who was not retained as a primary member of Utah Hockey Club’s broadcast team, will contribute to UtahHC+ content, host alt-casts throughout the season and serve as a guest analyst during select pre- and post-game shows during live telecasts. 

Based on the NHL and NBA’s respective rules on local broadcast territories, UtahHC+ will be available to users in a much larger geographic territory than Jazz+ (and, as a result, the full SEG+ bundle). While the Jazz’s local broadcast territory only includes Utah and parts of Idaho and Wyoming, Utah Hockey Club’s map includes Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming and parts of Nevada.
