The TikTok community loves sports – whether it’s Soccer, Rugby, or Car racing – they are redefining entertaining sports content. With 12.3 Billion global views, it’s undeniable that #Hockey is gaining momentum. The @NHL on TikTok has steadily grown its account to 1.7 Million followers, team accounts on the platform have amassed more than 546 million views around the world, and last year we announced our partnership with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Content like trick shots, behind-the-scenes and off-the-rink activities, and anything to do with sports and pets are favorites of the community.
Today we announced a partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) to deliver original content and unique experiences to TikTok’s global community. The partnership will come to life in several ways, including in-ice branding and the introduction of the TikTok Tailgate Stage at two upcoming marquee outdoor NHL events – the 2022 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series on Feb. 26 in Nashville, Tennessee and the 2022 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic on March 13 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada – featuring performances by some of the TikTok community’s favorite artists.
TikTok and the NHL will work together to deliver exclusive content, including player fashion interviews, “Who Wore It Best” and “Get Dressed with the Best” segments, and other programming designed to showcase player personalities and personal styles.

Music and entertainment are key components to the partnership, with the NHL and TikTok collaborating on musical artists for tentpole NHL events, including the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, NHL Stadium Series and the 2022 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic.
Some of the TikTok community’s favourite artists will perform at the TikTok Tailgate Stage, which will become a signature feature of the partnership. Country music star Walker Hayes, who made noise on TikTok last year with his smash hit “Fancy Like,” will kick off the music collaboration with a pre-game show at the 2022 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series on Feb. 26. Propelled by the TikTok community, Hayes’ “Fancy Like” became the biggest country song of 2021 after making a TikTok with his daughter. The original video has now racked up over 32 Million views, with “Fancy Like” topping multiple sales and streaming charts, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and garnering Walker Hayes his first-ever GRAMMY Award nomination as an artist for Best Country Song. His performance will be exclusively livestreamed on the NHL TikTok account on Feb. 26 at 5:30pm ET/2:30pm PT for music and hockey fans globally.
