The stage is set for Canada vs. USA in the Olympic men’s hockey gold medal game.
It was a stressful road for the Canadians, but a come-from-behind win against Finland in the semi-finals booked their ticket. The Americans then routed Slovakia in their semi-final matchup on Friday to advance to the final against their arch-rival Canada.
But when will the gold medal game air in Canada? It’s a tad confusing following the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics in Italy due to the drastic time zone differences. No need to stress, as we know when the big game will be broadcast across Canada.
Canada and the USA will battle it out for Olympic gold bright and early on Sunday morning at 8:10 a.m. EST/5:10 a.m. PST. Canadians watching on TV can find the game on CBC or stream for free with CBC Gem.

It’s a painfully early game for many Canadians, who will need to set their alarms in order to catch the gold medal match. Though nobody should be complaining, as Canada’s gold medal hopes have been on life support multiple times throughout this knockout stage.
This is the first time that Canada has met the USA in the Olympic gold medal game since Vancouver 2010. That matchup was best known for Sidney Crosby’s iconic golden goal, though the Canadian captain’s status for the rematch is uncertain right now.
Canada is looking for their first gold medal in men’s Olympic hockey since Sochi 2014, while the Americans haven’t won it all since the Miracle on Ice back at Lake Placid 1980. The two nations most recently met in a best-on-best setting in last year’s 4 Nation’s championship, where Connor McDavid lifted Canada to an OT victory.
Finland will battle it out with Slovakia in the bronze medal game Saturday at 2:40 p.m. EST/11:40 a.m. PST.
