The Oilers and Panthers begin their quest for the Cup tonight!
The Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers get set for game 1 of the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final later tonight. The two teams are fairly well matched, and despite not having the best regular season records in their respective conferences, both the Panthers and Oilers have looked like the teams to beat in this postseason.
While it was pretty much smooth sailing for the Oilers with comfortable wins over the Los Angeles Kings, Vegas Golden Knights, and the Dallas Stars, the Panthers’ road to the Final was a little nerve-wrecking in the second round. The Toronto Maple Leafs took them to game 7, before Florida took care of the Carolina Hurricanes to reach the final.
The excitement has built up, and now it is almost time for game 1, so with that, let us find out more details on how to watch the 2025 Stanley Cup Final.
The rights for the 2025 Stanley Cup Final belong to Turner Sports, so the best-of-seven series will be telecast on TNT and TruTV. Canadian users will be able to watch the Stanley Cup Final on Sportsnet.
However, live streaming is another way to catch all the live action. The Turner Sports broadcast will be available on Max, which requires a subscription. However, users who are already subscribed to HBO, TNT, TBS, or truTV will not require a separate subscription.
The same is also applicable for YouTube, YouTube TV, and Sling. Users subscribed to Max can watch the games on the Max channel on YouTube as well. Moreover, users who have the Sling Orange or Sling Blue subscription can watch the games live on Sling TV as well. Similarly, for Canadian users, the Sportsnet app will provide streaming for users who have availed of the Sportsnet+ subscription.
As mentioned previously, the rights for the Stanley Cup Final lie with Turner Sports, and therefore, you can catch the games on TNT and truTV. These channels are available on various platforms such as Hulu+, DirecTV, Sling, and Fubo. Similarly, Sportsnet is the go-to channel for Canadian viewers, as well as TVA Sports.

Ironically, the 2024 Stanley Cup Final was played between the same two teams, the Panthers and the Oilers. Florida took complete control of the series, going up 3-0, before Edmonton came roaring back to tie the series 3-3 and send it to a do-or-die game 7. In the ensuing game 7, the Panthers won 2-1 to clinch a franchise-first Stanley Cup.
The Oilers are on a revenge mission and are also eyeing the 6th Cup in franchise history and their first one since 1990, while the Panthers are looking to secure their second with the aim of becoming back-to-back Champions.
