The National League costs CHF 34.90 a month on MySports. The Ski-Weltcup is free on SRF, assuming your TV actually gets it. The problem hits when you cut the cord. Most households without a cable package find SRF difficult to access legally. Meanwhile, Marco Odermatt dominates in Adelboden and Wengen, and ZSC Lions and SC Bern battle through the playoffs. A Swiss sports fan needs both. One IPTV subscription solves this entire problem. If you are looking for Eishockey National League streaming 2026, here is the breakdown.
The National League — Why MySports Has It All (And Costs CHF 418/Year)
Sunrise extended its eight-year rights mandate for all National League games through 2035. I verified this via Sportcal from August 2025. MySports holds exclusive rights to professional Swiss hockey until 2035. SRG SSR lost the live broadcast rights from the 2024-25 season. The era of watching live Eishockey free on SRF is over.
MySports also grabbed exclusive NHL rights for 2025-26. They broadcast over 300 live games, all the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the Stanley Cup Final. If you want to watch Swiss stars like Roman Josi (Nashville Predators captain), Nico Hischier or Timo Meier (New Jersey Devils), MySports is your only real option. TV24 airs some NHL highlights free, and local TV picks up a few games. But that is not the full live schedule.
An annual MySports plan via Sunrise costs CHF 34.90 a month, which is CHF 418.80 a year. The rolling monthly plan jumps to CHF 39.90. Note that the Swiss League (second tier) is on Sky Sport Switzerland. You need a separate subscription for that.
The National League Teams — And Why You Need Every Game
The PostFinance Arena holds 17,000 people. On a Saturday night in January, when SC Bern and ZSC Lions meet, every one of those seats is full. Zurich's rivalry with Bern is Swiss hockey's permanent fixture. That is not a sport you want to watch on a 240p stream that freezes in the third period.
Every Swiss language region has at least one club to follow.
Every single one of these clubs plays on MySports. A single Varodatic IPTV subscription covers them all.
Ski-Weltcup 2026 — Odermatt, Adelboden, Wengen and the Run to Milano-Cortina
Marco Odermatt is chasing a fifth consecutive overall Crystal Globe. He already won the Adelboden GS for the fifth consecutive time in January 2026. Then, on January 17, he won the Wengen Downhill on the Lauberhorn. The race was shortened from the Hundschopf due to strong winds, but he still won by 0.79 seconds. "It is crazy, I don't even know what to say!" he told reporters at the finish line. Before that, he won the historic 1,000th World Cup Downhill in Val Gardena on December 18, 2025.
On the women's side, Lara Gut-Behrami is contending for the overall globe. Federica Brignone missed the early season after injuring her left leg. Franjo von Allmen, the reigning downhill world champion from Saalbach 2025, is pushing Odermatt in the speed disciplines.
The Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina run from February 6 to 22. Men's alpine is in Bormio, women's in Cortina d'Ampezzo. All of this is live on SRF, RTS, and RSI.
The issue? You cannot easily watch SRF live on a smart TV without a cable package or a dedicated app login. Many households find this frustrating. IPTV carries SRF Sport live, alongside RTS and RSI. You get the Wengen Downhill and the Winter Olympics on any device.
The Two-Subscription Problem — What It Costs to Follow Both
