Dallas Stars Abandon Victory+, Head to Amazon Prime Video

The Dallas Stars are reportedly planning to move their game broadcasts from Victory+ to Amazon Prime Video, joining only the Seattle Kraken on the platform. This move comes as part of a larger trend of teams leaving Victory+, which has faced financial concerns and missed payments. The team's decision is expected to be finalized soon, but it's unclear what changes fans can expect.

Victory+ was launched in 2020 with a seven-year agreement between the platform and A Parent Media Co. Inc. While it brought on several sports teams, including the Stars, Rangers, and Ducks, its free direct-to-consumer model may not have been sustainable. The platform's struggles have led to the departure of multiple teams, including the Texas Rangers and Anaheim Ducks.

The Dallas Stars will still be featured 13 times on national TV this season, as announced by the team and NHL last week. However, fans who want to watch their local team may need to subscribe to Amazon Prime Video or another platform to do so. The move could be seen as a shift towards more comprehensive streaming services that offer a wider range of content.
