Monday Night Hockey is the branding used for Canadian broadcasts of National Hockey League (NHL) games on Monday nights. It was originally used for Sportsnet-produced telecasts under the Rogers Monday Night Hockey branding during the 2022–23 and 2023–24 NHL seasons. Monday Night Hockey replaced Hometown Hockey, which had aired from the 2014–15 to the 2021–22 seasons. Beginning in the 2024–25 season, under a two-year sub-licensing agreement, Prime Video will stream NHL games on Monday nights under the new Prime Monday Night Hockey branding.

Like other Canadian national NHL broadcasts, Monday Night Hockey is available in the United States on ESPN+ as part of a seven-year agreement with the NHL beginning in the 2021–22 season, subject to blackout restrictions.
