OHL Freeviews Continue with Second Round Playoff Coverage

April 6, 2026

The Ontario Hockey League and FloHockey will continue to provide fans with free access to select playoff games as the OHL Playoffs move into the second round.

Following the opening round, Freeviews will once again feature Game 1 matchups across multiple series, giving fans an opportunity to follow the start of each series live and free on FloHockey’s social platforms. These games will be available on FloHockey’s YouTube, X, and Facebook channels, while all other playoff games remain available with a FloHockey subscription.

Game 1: Wednesday, April 8 – North Bay Battalion @ Brantford Bulldogs (7:00 pm)

Second round coverage opens in Brantford as the Bulldogs return home to begin their series after finishing atop the Eastern Conference. Brantford enters the round following a strong regular season and will look to carry that momentum into Game 1 on home ice as they continue their pursuit of the OHL Championship.

Game 1: Thursday, April 9 – Ottawa 67’s @ Barrie Colts (7:00 pm)

The Freeview schedule continues Thursday in Barrie, where the Colts open their second round series at home. Barrie advanced out of the opening round and now returns to Sadlon Arena with an opportunity to set the tone early in front of their home crowd.

Game 1: Friday, April 10 – Flint Firebirds @ Windsor Spitfires (7:05 pm)

Friday night shifts to Windsor as the Spitfires host Game 1 of their second round series. Windsor continues its push through the Western Conference bracket and will look to establish early control of the series on home ice.
