How to Watch the 2025 Stanley Cup Final for Free – Panthers vs. Oilers
The Florida Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup final for the third straight year. The Edmonton Oilers are trying to snag Canada’s first Cup since 1993. The battle will be even more intense because it’s a rematch of last year’s Final. All the games will air on TNT, truTV, and Max (ad-free plan only).

Free Streaming Options for the 2025 Stanley Cup
The only way to stream the Stanley Cup for free legally is with a free trial of a live TV streaming service. There are three services that fit the bill.
Watching TNT for Free with DIRECTV
DIRECTV is a great live TV option with several different channel packages. In fact, DIRECTV STREAM offers more channels than any other live streamer. TNT is available on the following packages: MySports ($69.99) Entertainment ($86.99), Choice ($105.98) Ultimate ($134.98), and Premier ($174.98). Start with 5 days free.
You’ll get an unlimited DVR, unlimited streams at home, and a very friendly user interface. It’s my top choice for first-time cord-cutters.
$69.99/mo.+
Watching TNT for Free with Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV gives you 3 free days. It be the best value in live TV streaming. Not only do you get a generous channel lineup, you also get free Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu on-demand. It’s a great package for families. Many users complain about the clunky interface. Still, it’s a ton of entertainment for a fair price and you will be able to stream TNT.
$82.99/mo.

Watching TNT for Free with YouTube TV
YouTube TV is quickly becoming a dinosaur in the live TV streaming world. It was my go-to solution for several years, but I dropped it as the price climbed and the channel lineup remained stale. It’s the same price as Hulu + Live TV but without the free streaming services. YouTube TV carries TNT and gives you a free trial.
$82.99/mo.

Cheap Option: Watching TNT with Sling TV
Although it’s not free, Sling TV is the least expensive option for the full Stanley Cup Final. All of their base packages include TNT, so you can watch for as little as $45.99/month after a first-month promo price. Sling gives you several add-on bundles, so you can scale your channel package as big or as small as you need.
$45.99/mo. $23/mo.
