In case you weren’t aware of one of the internet’s most buzzed-about TV shows, Heated Rivalry premiered in December 2025 to a lot of fanfare. The Canadian series follows the complicated relationship between two rival hockey players as they compete against each other on the ice. Now that we’re two episodes into season 1, how many more episodes are there?
Here, find out how many episodes you can expect from Heated Rivalry‘s debut season.
Heated Rivalry follows the years-long sexual relationship between ice hockey captains Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.
Based on the books by author Rachel Reid, the official synopsis of the show reads, in part, “What begins as a secret fling between two fresh-faced rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery. Over the next eight years, as they chase glory on the ice, they struggle to navigate their feelings for each other. Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there’s room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile – and powerful – as real love.”
All episodes of Heated Rivalry are available for U.S. viewers on HBO Max and for Canadian viewers on Crave.
There are six episodes in season 1 of Heated Rivalry altogether.
At the time of publication, a season 2 has not been confirmed for Heated Rivalry. However, fans might be in for good news soon because creator Jacob Tierney shared an optimistic update after the series’ December 2025 debut.
