Cheapest streamer to watch 2025 NHL Playoffs: Sling TV

Sling TV is the best way to watch the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs and save. The streamer’s plans normally start at $46 per month, and you can stream ESPN channels along with TNT and TBS in the Orange plan, and truTV in the streamer’s Blue package. Viewers can switch back and forth between plans at no cost, or they can combine the channels of both with the Sling Orange and Blue package for $61 per month.

At a base price of $46 per month, Sling is already the cheapest way to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But right now, new customers can get 50% off their first month of service, lowering the cost to only $23 per month if you opt for Sling Orange or Blue, or $30.50 if you upgrade to Sling Orange and Blue.

Other streaming services that will offer the 2025 NHL Playoffs

DIRECTV and its MySports Genre Pack also offer all the channels that carry NHL playoff games. This service starts at $70 per month after a five-day free trial, and also includes ESPN+ at no additional cost. It comes with around 20 total channels, all with sports programming of some kind.

Hulu + Live TV packages carry all channels necessary for watching NHL playoff games, as well. Plans starting at $83 per month also come with the Disney Bundle free; this includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, and you also get a three-day free trial to test out Hulu + Live TV when you sign up as a new customer.

YouTube TV carries all channels with NHL playoff games, and comes with a free trial of between two and 14 days depending on when you sign up and other factors. Its base package starts at $83 per month.

Fubo carries ESPN channels, but it doesn’t have TNT, TBS, or truTV in its lineup. That makes it a less-than-ideal choice to stream the NHL Playoffs, but if you’ve already got a Fubo subscription, pair it with Max, and you can stream all Turner Network games for an additional $17 per month. Fubo plans start at $85 per month, but the regional sports network fee that most customers will have to pay bumps that price even higher.

A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that DIRECTV’s MySports package had around 40 channels.
