When and where are the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals? Everything you need to know about the ultimate NHL affair
The 2025 playoffs start on Saturday, April 19th, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting ride. There are 16 teams in the hunt, eight from the East and eight from the West. In the East, squads like the Capitals, Leafs, and Hurricanes are lacing up, while out West, the Stars, Knights, and Oilers are coming in hot. Yes, the bracket’s pumped up as it sounds, with a follow-up of spicy matchups as we can see, and we can’t wait to witness the chaos take the lead to the finals.
However, the NHL has not yet confirmed the given dates, given that each playoff series can last 4-7 games, which shall impact the timing schedule for the matches. It all depends on the outcomes that come around each playoff round. While slated for June 7th, per Playoff Times, the final dates shall heavily rely on the teams’ scores and other schedules that are in the pipeline. Given that we need to keep our eyes on the second round, as the final announcement shall take place right in between that.

How to watch the 2025 Stanley Cup? Where to buy tickets? Know every detail from broadcasting to tickets about the NHL finals
Can’t wait to get on your cozy couch and watch the Stanley Cup Finals, right? We’re excited too! If you’re wondering how to watch the 2025 Stanley Cup, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! So, fans, it’s go time now: Every episode of the Stanley Cup will be broadcast on national TV in the U.S. Rest assured, you won’t miss a single moment. On the other hand, TNT also has a big chunk of the matchups to showcase, including the Finals. Canadian fans can always tune in to Sportsnet and CBC.
Taking a kinder initiative last year, the NHL introduced a sign language broadcast for the Stanley Cup Finals with the launch of “NHL in ASL.” The 2024 finals featured live Deaf broadcasters delivering real-time play-by-play and color commentary in American Sign Language, available on @ESPNPlus and @Sportsnet+ during Game 1 between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers on June 8. The initiative marked a major step toward inclusivity in the sport, creating space for Deaf and hard-of-hearing fans to engage more fully with the game. With NHL in ASL now established and active, we look forward to the official announcement of this year’s broadcast schedule for the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals.
But witnessing momentum like this will make you cherish it for a lifetime. So, where do you fetch the tickets for the Stanley Cup Finals? While most are sold out, we still have some left in the bucket! For instance, at Amalie Arena in Tampa — home of the Tampa Bay Lightning — tickets start at $762 (Upper Level 322, Row L) and climb as high as $9,233 (Upper Level 327, Row H). Over in Crypto.com Arena, where the Los Angeles Kings would host, prices begin at $1,008 (Upper Level 315, Row 7) and can reach up to $4,495 (Loge Level 119, Row 2). Meanwhile, at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida — potential host for the Florida Panthers — the lowest price sits at $749 (Section 302, Row 12), while an eye-popping $831,852 ticket (Section 104, Row 26) stands as the most expensive option, making it the highest listed across all venues.
