The NHL playoffs have begun, and hockey fans are eager to watch the drama unfold on the ice. The games are split between Turner (TNT and TBS) and Disney networks (ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2). To catch all the action, viewers can use a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service. Four major services offer the five channels needed to watch every NHL playoff game, with the exception of Fubo, which lacks TNT and TBS. Additionally, viewers can watch TNT and TBS games with Max for a cost of $10 per month.
The NHL playoff schedule includes games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, TBS, and TNT. Viewers can tune in to watch games on specific nights, with matchups between a variety of teams. For example, the New York Rangers are leading their series against the Washington Capitals, while other teams are tied in their matchups. The schedule provides a range of games to enjoy, leading up to the NHL finals in June.
The New York Rangers secured the top seed in the East for the NHL playoffs, while the Dallas Stars claimed the top spot in the West. The matchups for the playoffs are set, with teams competing for a chance to advance to the next round and ultimately contend for the Stanley Cup trophy. Fans are eager to see how their favorite teams will perform in the intense playoff atmosphere.
Viewers can access the NHL playoffs through various live TV streaming services, with each service offering different channel packages at varying prices. Sling TV’s Orange plan includes TBS, TNT, ESPN, and ESPN 2 for $40 per month. YouTube TV costs $73 per month and includes all the necessary channels for the NHL playoffs. Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream also offer comprehensive channel packages for playoff viewing.
Max, part of the Warner Bros. Discovery network, offers games that air on TBS and TNT for a cost of $10 per month. However, viewers may miss out on games broadcast on ESPN and ABC unless they subscribe to the additional B/R Sports add-on. Warner Bros. Discovery is currently delaying charging customers for this add-on and includes it in the standard subscription. All of the streaming services mentioned provide free trials, flexible cancellation options, and require a stable internet connection for optimal viewing.
With the NHL playoffs in full swing, hockey fans have multiple options to watch their favorite teams compete for the Stanley Cup. Whether using a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service, viewers can access games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, TBS, and TNT.
