The NHL playoffs will be split in the United States between the ESPN family of networks and Turners. The two media corporations are in the third year of their seven-year contracts with the league.
In the first round, Saturday night games will air on ABC. Other first-round contests may air on ESPN and TNT’s other channels, such as ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, TBS, or TruTV.
ESPN and TNT are splitting the second-round series, as well as the conference final. Since TNT aired the Stanley Cup Final last year, it’s back to ESPN in 2024.
In Canada, all the playoff games will be aired on Sportsnet and CBC.
Fans in the United States looking to stream the NHL playoffs have options. Games on ESPN’s platforms can be streamed through ESPN+ or through Fubo, while those on TNT can be streamed through the TNT app and Sling.
