The Stanley Cup Final is officially here. The Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes are both hunting for their second trophy, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
Carolina dominated their playoff run. They lost only one playoff game on their way to the Finals—a record no other team has achieved since the four-round, seven-game playoff format launched in 1987.
Vegas swept the top-seeded Colorado Avalanche to claim the West. The Knights have been a powerhouse since their first game in 2017, winning a Stanley Cup in 2023 and earning three conference championships and five division titles.
Carolina finished second overall in the regular season and has been a conference champion three times, plus a seven-time division winner. It's been 20 years since they last won the Cup.
According to Rolling Stone, fans can watch all the action on ABC and ESPN. The series runs from June 2 to June 17, with games starting at 8 p.m. ET on June 2.
Carolina has home ice advantage for the first two games in Raleigh. The schedule alternates between Raleigh and Vegas, setting up a potential Game 7 if the series goes the distance.
DirecTV, Fubo, and Hulu + Live TV all carry ABC and ESPN, so the finals are available across multiple platforms.
