Tonight’s San Jose Sharks‑Los Angeles Kings showdown will be on TNT, marking a rare departure from the team’s usual regional partner.
Key points
- The Sharks‑Kings game on Nov. 4 is on TNT, not NBC Sports California.
- Major pay‑TV providers list specific channel numbers for the TNT broadcast.
- TNT will also air three other Sharks games later in the season.
The San Jose Sharks’ game against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, will be televised exclusively on TNT rather than the regular regional rightsholder NBC Sports California, according to a report from the Bay Area News Group.
The matchup, the first of a three‑game road trip for the Sharks, is slated to start just after 7 p.m. local time. Viewers can find the broadcast on DIRECTV (channel 245 HD), DISH Network (channel 138), Verizon Fios (channel 51 or 551 HD), AT&T U‑verse (channel 108 or 1108 HD) and Xfinity (channel 35).
Broadcast change
NBC Sports California will continue to carry the remaining 73 regular‑season Sharks games, beginning with the next contest on Friday against the Minnesota Wild, but this particular double‑header is being handled by TNT as part of a limited partnership.
TNT has scheduled three additional Sharks games this season: the Los Angeles matchup on Dec. 9, the road game at the Vegas Golden Knights on Dec. 16, and the home contest against the Chicago Blackhawks on Feb. 10.
How to watch
Former Sharks forward Ryan Reaves will appear in the studio for the Wednesday double‑header on TNT, providing analysis alongside the network’s regular panel.
