How to watch

The Apple TV 4K decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. For hockey, frame rate matters as much as resolution. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

Tips for NHL day

NHL on Apple TV 4K: Tips for NHL day

  • Overtime runs past the guide slot; if you record games, add padding to the end time.
  • Intermissions are the time to switch feeds if the picture isn't sharp.
  • Turn down heavy motion smoothing on the TV; it can leave halos around the puck.
  • Hockey is where frame rate shows: choose a 60fps feed when your player offers one.

Apple TV 4K settings for hockey

On the Apple TV 4K, open Settings > Video and Audio > Match Content and turn on Match Frame Rate, plus Match Dynamic Range for HDR feeds. That way a small black puck changing direction faster than the camera can pan plays at the broadcast's own rate instead of being converted.
