How to watch Stanley Cup Finals in the US
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals will air on ABC on Monday at 8 p.m. ET in the US. If you don't have cable, there are a few different live streaming options that can help you see the game tonight. The cheapest is ESPN+, which only costs $10.99 a month.
Another option for viewing the game is through a live TV package, like Sling TV and Fubo. Sling TV allows subscribers to stream ABC in select areas using the Sling Orange + Blue plan (for $55 a month), but new users can currently get $10 off their first month. Sling's local channel coverage is fairly selective, so you'll need to double-check which networks are available in your region using your zip code before you subscribe. Sling's local channels page has a full breakdown of stations.
Fubo is another solid live TV service that has pretty widespread ABC coverage (although, as usual, you should still double-check to make sure that the channels you want are available in your region). It's a sports-friendly service with tons of channels, and if you're a fan of another sport besides hockey, you can probably watch it here. Subscriptions go for $79.99 a month, but new users can try it free for one week.
How to watch Stanley Cup Finals from anywhere
Those traveling during Game 7 can still keep up with their subscriptions via VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs allow you to alter your virtual location so that you can keep up with your usual apps and websites from anywhere. This option will work best for Americans who are just traveling abroad and hoping to access their subscriptions since the services we outlined today require US forms of payment.
