2024 Stanley Cup Final Schedule Announced

Game 1 Set for Saturday, June 8

All Games to Start at 8 pm

The National Hockey League (NHL) has announced the schedule for the 2024 Stanley Cup Final. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, with all games starting at 8 pm Eastern Time.

This is the second consecutive year that the Stanley Cup Final will be played in June. The NHL moved the series to June in 2023 to avoid a potential conflict with the 2023 IIHF World Championship. The move to June has been met with mixed reviews, but the NHL has said that it is committed to keeping the series in June for the foreseeable future.

The Stanley Cup is awarded annually to the playoff champion club of the NHL. The trophy was first awarded in 1893 and is one of the most prestigious trophies in all of sports.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Final will be the 128th edition of the series. The defending champions are the Colorado Avalanche, who defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games in the 2023 Final.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs begin on Wednesday, May 15. The Eastern Conference Final is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 27, with the Western Conference Final scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 28.
