NHL reportedly looking south of the border for future Global Series games

The National Hockey League has played games all over the world, from Europe to Asia and most recently, in Australia, which were the first games played in the Southern Hemisphere.

But now the league reportedly has their sights set on a tapping into a new market - Mexico.

According to the NHL's chief content officer Steve Mayer, the league has Mexico City on their short list to host a game, adding that there are teams that are wanting to go down and play there.


There are plenty of options on who the National Hockey League could send to Mexico City when they decide to play games there. The most likely team to play in the country is the Arizona Coyotes, with the Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks also being possibilities.

The NHL has four more games on the schedule for the 2023-24 Global Series, which comes next month in Sweden at Avicii Arena with the Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs being involved.

Usually, the National Hockey League announces Global Series games for the following season every Spring, so we'll have to keep an eye out in early 2024 to see if they'll be heading to Mexico City for the '24-25 season.
