Stanley Cup Finals

The Stanley Cup Finals are finally here, and we're going to see who takes it home as the Tampa Bay Lightning is facing off the Dallas Stars. Let's watch the Stanley Cup Finals online!

The Stanley Cup Finals are wrapping up the 2019-2020 National Hockey League season. In a best-of-seven series, we're going to see whether the Eastern Conference champion - Tampa Bay Lightning - or the Western Conference champion - Dallas Stars - will take home the Cup.

The event will be played behind closed doors in order to abide by the Covid-19 restrictions. The event is hosted at the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, in Canada.

When and Where to Watch the Stanely Cup Finals?

The Stanley Cup Finals are the culmination of this year's Playoffs, which began back on August 1st. The Finals are kicking off on September 19th and, if all seven games are played, will end on September 30th. In the United States, the events are broadcast by NBC and NBC Sports.

How Can I Live Stream the Stanley Cup Finals?

The Stanley Cup Finals are kicking off, and it's important we figure out how to watch the events online. Since the Finals are broadcast by both NBC and NBC Sports, it's going to be easy to find the networks online. One of our favorite platforms to watch the Stanley Cup Finals online on fuboTV.

The service features a single bundle of networks where you'll find both NBC and NBC Sports. The bundle is part of several plans where you'll find additional channel packs and premium networks, offered at discounted prices. More channel packs and premium networks can be added to your account should you desire so.

fuboTV works with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, and so on.

While we prefer fuboTV for sports events as it has a ton of dedicated channels, this is not the only way to watch the Stanely Cup Finals.

Hulu is a pretty great service with a single bundle of networks where you'll find both NBC and NBC Sports. You can add a couple of channel packs to your account or several premium networks. When you subscribe to the Live TV service on Hulu, you'll also get access to the On-Demand library, so you have two platforms to play with. Start your free trial on Hulu!

Sling TV is another solid option as it features a ton of customization options. There are three bundles here, but NBC and NBC Sports are only part of two of them, specifically Blue and Orange + Blue. If you go with the Blue bundle, you'll get to watch content on three devices simultaneously, while the Orange + Blue bundle offers you four simultaneous streams. You can then add a ton of channel packs and premium networks to your account, so you should check those out as well. Watch 3 Days Free on Sling TV Now!

How to Watch the Stanley Cup Finals Anywhere?

If you happen to be traveling outside of the United States when the Stanley Cup Finals are on, you can still follow the event on your chosen live TV service. The problem is that when you're away, your access is blocked, as the platforms are only available on US territory. However, you can bypass the problem entirely by using a VPN, which can route your Internet connection and assign a new IP address to your device.

If you don't know which VPN to use, we recommend ExpressVPN, which is a great tool, with thousands of servers in all corners of the world and some great privacy features.

You need to subscribe to ExpressVPN (49% OFF), get the apps for your device, and find a server in the United States. Once you're connected, o you can load fuboTV and start watching the Stanley Cup Finals online. If you have any issues, you can ask ExpressVPN for a refund, as they have a 30-day money-back guarantee policy in place.

How to Watch the Stanley Cup Finals with a TV Antenna?

Another thing you can do for the games that are going to be broadcast by NBC is to watch them with the help of a TV Antenna. NBC is one of the new channels that continue to broadcast locally, so you can easily enjoy it with the help of an antenna. These devices are cheap, and they also allow you to watch local networks for free.

Before you buy any devices, you should check a site like NoCable and learn more about the networks available in your specific region. You'll also learn how far the broadcast stations are, so you'll know what range your device should cover. Make sure you also take a look at the devices we listed above if any of them have the right features to make it into your home.

What's the Stanley Cup Finals Schedule?

This year, the Stanley Cup Final needs to be over before the end of September, and the games are scheduled every two days, with one exception. Either way, you can check to see when the event is on and who is broadcasting it in the United States.
