Who can watch Wild+ on DIRECTV?
Wild+ is limited to the Wild's NHL-designated home territory. Our earlier coverage described that area as Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa and most of Wisconsin; DIRECTV checks eligibility by your service address. You also need CHOICE or a higher package, since ENTERTAINMENT doesn't include it.
National Wild games
When the Wild play on ESPN, TNT, ABC or NHL Network, the game is on DIRECTV everywhere, in or out of market. ESPN is channel 206, TNT is 245 and NHL Network is 215. NHL Network starts with the ULTIMATE package.
Watching the Wild outside Minnesota
If you live outside the Wild's territory, Wild+ won't appear in your guide. Out-of-market Wild games are available through NHL Center Ice or ESPN's NHL Power Play package, subject to blackouts.
Wild+ on other services
Wild+ also sells an in-market subscription on Prime Video, which earlier this season cost $19.99 a month or $99.99 a year. If you signed up there only because DIRECTV didn't carry Wild+, you can now watch on channel 668 with an eligible package.
