NHL projects this season’s revenue to around $6.8 billion
The NHL projects that revenue for this season will be about $6.8 billion. Commissioner Gary Bettman, who was speaking at the NHL Board of Governor meetings, said that revenue is consistent with the figures that the NHL was expecting. Accordingly, no adjustment is needed to the salary cap that the NHL and NHLPA agreed upon for the next two seasons. The NHL is operating with an upper limit of $95.5 million for this season, which is expected to increase to $104 million in 2026-27 and $113.5 million in 2027-28.
