Wild+ Is Now on DIRECTV: Channel 668 and How to Watch the Minnesota Wild
Wild+, the Minnesota Wild's team-owned TV network, is now on DIRECTV. On October 24, 2026, DIRECTV and the NHL announced a multi-year agreement that puts Wild+ on channel 668 for DIRECTV streaming customers and channel 668-1 for satellite customers. U-verse customers find it on 1745/745. The same deal added the Hurricanes, Blue Jackets and Blues team networks.
Wild+ is available to DIRECTV customers who live in the Wild's NHL home territory and subscribe to CHOICE or a higher package, and to U-verse customers there with U200 or higher, according to DIRECTV. That ends the gap this page tracked since the season started. The background is in our Wild+ Comcast and DIRECTV carriage talks guide.
Wild+ on DIRECTV at a glance

| DIRECTV satellite | 668-1 | CHOICE or higher, in the Wild's home territory |
| U-verse | 1745 / 745 | U200 or higher, in the Wild's home territory |
The deal also covers DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS, so bars, restaurants and other commercial venues in the Wild's region can show Wild+ games. The DIRECTV announcement doesn't cover Comcast Xfinity, and we couldn't confirm a Comcast deal as of October 25, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wild+ on DIRECTV?
Yes. Under a multi-year DIRECTV-NHL agreement announced October 24, 2026, Wild+ is on DIRECTV channel 668 for streaming customers and 668-1 for satellite customers who live in the Wild's NHL home territory and subscribe to CHOICE or higher. U-verse customers in the same area with U200 or higher get it on 1745/745.
Which DIRECTV package do I need for Wild+?
CHOICE or higher for DIRECTV satellite and streaming, or U200 or higher for U-verse, and your service address has to be inside the Wild's home territory.
Can I watch Wild+ on DIRECTV outside Minnesota's territory?
No. DIRECTV carries Wild+ only for customers in the Wild's NHL home territory. Fans elsewhere can watch out-of-market games with NHL Center Ice or NHL Power Play on the ESPN app, and national games air on ABC, ESPN and TNT.
Do I still need a Wild+ subscription on Prime Video?
Not if you get Wild+ through an eligible DIRECTV package in the Wild's territory. The $19.99-a-month or $99.99-a-season Prime Video subscription is an option for fans without a TV provider that carries Wild+.
Is FanDuel Sports North still showing Wild games?
No. Starting in 2026-27, Wild+ shows all Wild games that aren't on national TV.
