Watch Stanley Cup Finals 2025 live streams as the Florida Panthers take on the Edmonton Oilers in a best-of-seven series. Below we have all the information on how to watch the Stanley Cup Finals from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels and broadcasters.
In the opening game of the Finals, Leon Draisaitl scored a power-play goal 19:29 into overtime to secure a stunning 4-3 victory for the Oilers. Edmonton had trailed 3-1 in regulation time, but Mattias Ekholm leveled up the scores before Draisaitl scored the winner, meaning he now has three overtime goals in the 2025 playoffs, tying an NHL record.
Game 2 will take place on Saturday, June 7, when the Panthers will be looking to level up the series.

Stanley Cup Finals 2025 preview
After finishing third in the Atlantic Division, the Florida Panthers have been sensational during the playoffs. They first overcame the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games before recovering from 2-0 down to secure a 4-3 victory over the table-topping Toronto Maple Leafs. In the Eastern Conference finals, Paul Maurice’s side eased to a 4-1 series victory over the Carolina Hurricanes to reach their third straight Stanley Cup Final. Seeking their second straight title, they’ll be looking for big performances from in-form goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and center Sam Bennett.
Just like the Panthers, the Edmonton Oilers also finished third in their division before knocking out both of the sides that finished above them. In the first round, they dispatched the Los Angeles Kings in six games before overcoming the Vegas Golden Knights in five games. In the Western Conference final, they again needed just five games to advance as they dominated the Dallas Stars. Now presented with a chance to avenge last year’s Finals defeat, they’ll need Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to be at their very best throughout the series.

We love Fubo but it isn't a good choice for the Stanley Cup Finals, as it doesn't carry TNT, TBS or TruTV.
