The Stanley Cup Finals resume tonight with the fourth and possibly last game of the Florida Panthers vs. Edmonton Oilers series. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Stanley Cup Finals, including both cable and live streaming options.
The Florida Panthers skate into Game 4 with a massive 3-0 lead, following a shutout in Game 1 and additional victories in Games 2 and 3. If the Panthers win Game 4, they'll become Stanley Cup Champions for the first time in franchise history after falling short to the Vegas Golden Knights in the finals last year. The Panthers previously made it to the finals in 1996.
The Oilers, who won the Stanley Cup five times between 1984 and 1990, have been struggling so far in the finals. After the Game 1 shutout, the team slowly began to find their footing, scoring one point in Game 2 and three points in Game 3. Saturday night's game will see whether they can keep themselves in the competition or if this will be the first Stanley Cup Finals sweep since 1998.
Whether you're rooting for the Panthers or Oilers, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn how to watch Game 4, and make sure to bookmark our NHL Playoffs hub for info on future games, if this extends past Game 4.
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals will air on ABC on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in the US. For cord-cutters, there are a few different live streaming options that can help you watch the game without cable. The cheapest option today is ESPN+, which costs $10.99 a month. While the streaming service doesn't simulcast every ABC and ESPN game, it will show every single game of the 2024 Stanely Cup Finals (including any future games, should the series extend past Game 4).
If you'd rather try a cable alternative live TV package, Sling TV and Fubo might be able to help you out tonight. Sling TV allows subscribers to access ABC in select regions by opting for the Sling Orange + Blue for $55 a month, but new users can currently get half off their first month. Sling's local channel coverage is selective, so you should double-check which channels are available in your region using your zip code before purchasing a subscription. You can also check out Sling's local channels page for additional details.
At $79.99, Fubo is definitely the more expensive live TV package we're highlighting, but it has pretty broad ABC coverage and a massive offering of other channels. This is a very sports-friendly live TV package, so if any of your favorite teams outside of hockey are currently playing, there's a good chance you'll be able to watch them here. As always, you should still look up your zip code before subscribing to check that your region has access to ABC and any other channels you're interested in. Right now, new users can get a one-week free trial of Fubo.
If you'll be traveling outside of the US during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, you can still keep up with your subscriptions using a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs allow you to change your device's virtual location so that you access your usual websites and apps from anywhere. Since the services we've highlighted today require US forms of payment, this suggestion will be best for Americans who are just traveling abroad and hoping to access their existing subscriptions.
Our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, a beginner-friendly VPN with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for full details, and see below to learn how to use a VPN.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
