How to Stream the Stanley Cup Playoffs With Sling TV
Either Carolina or Vegas will hoist the greatest trophy in sports. Here’s a look at the Stanley Cup Final schedule and how to watch with Sling.
The 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs have been surprising and thrilling. In the East, the Carolina Hurricanes advanced to their first Stanley Cup Final since winning the Cup in 2006 by completely dominating all three rounds; the ‘Canes have only lost a single game as they head into the championship round with a 12-1 playoff record. Out West, things were a little more difficult for the Vegas Golden Knights, as they needed six games to get past their first two opponents in Utah and Anaheim. But in one of the most stunning playoff upsets in recent memory, the Knights swept the President’s Trophy winning Colorado Avalanche out of the playoffs in four games, advancing to their third Stanley Cup Final in just nine years of existence.
It sets up a compelling Stanley Cup Final, which begins on Tuesday, June 2 at 8pm ET on ABC. Here’s a look at the full schedule for the Stanley Cup Final, plus how to watch with Sling. Hurricanes fans in Raleigh-Durham can watch the full series by subscribing to Sling Select with the link below!
