Bettman Puts NHL Revenue in Rarefied Air

Gary Bettman is saying the NHL’s 2025-26 revenue will land between $7.5 billion and $8 billion, which is the kind of number that makes owners sit up straighter. That is more than a feel-good talking point - it is the league signaling real financial muscle as it keeps pushing into bigger business territory. When the commissioner starts talking in billions with that much confidence, the message is aimed at everyone from the boardroom to the broadcast partners.
