Syracuse Crunch fans will be able to watch at least 10 home games live on CW6 during the 2026-27 season. The team renewed its television partnership with CNY Central's NBC3, CBS5 and CW6, with the first listed broadcast set for Nov. 18 against Rochester.
The Crunch announced the schedule Thursday. All 10 games currently listed begin at 7 p.m., and the team said the schedule is subject to change.
The broadcasts will give local viewers a selection of home matchups stretching from November through April. Upstate Medical University is the title sponsor, with Jose Cuervo, Kinney Drugs, Marriott Syracuse Downtown and Turning Stone serving as presenting sponsors.
Two broadcasts are scheduled before January
The first two televised games come before the end of 2026. Syracuse hosts the Rochester Americans on Wednesday, Nov. 18, followed by the Toronto Marlies on Friday, Dec. 4.
The schedule then resumes with three Friday games in January. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins visit Jan. 15, the Hershey Bears play in Syracuse Jan. 22 and the Lehigh Valley Phantoms follow Jan. 29.
The Providence Bruins' visit on Friday, Feb. 12, is the only February game included in the announced television slate.
Broadcasts continue through April 7
The remaining four broadcasts are scheduled for the final weeks of the regular season. The Springfield Thunderbirds visit Wednesday, March 24, and the Utica Comets follow Saturday, March 27.
April's televised games bring the Belleville Senators to Syracuse on Saturday, April 3, and the Cleveland Monsters on Wednesday, April 7. Those games, like the rest of the announced schedule, are set for 7 p.m. on CW6.
