Can You Watch 2024 NHL Conference Finals On Paramount+?

What some say is the toughest trophy to win in sports is down to the final four teams. The 2024 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs continue this week with the Conference Finals. In the East, Igor Shesterkin and his New York Rangers face off against Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers. Puck drop for Game 1 of that series is on Wednesday, May 22 at 8 p.m. ET. And in the West, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers look to make an appearance in the Cup Final if they can get past Jake Oettinger and the Dallas Stars. Game 1 of the Western Conference Final is set for Thursday, May 23 at 8:30 p.m. ET. The Eastern Conference Final will air across ESPN and ABC, while TNT and truTV have coverage of the Western Conference Final.

Unfortunately, Paramount+ will not stream any Eastern or Western Conference Final games because it doesn’t carry any of the necessary channels. Paramount+ does carry sporting events that appear on CBS, like the 2024 Super Bowl earlier this year and the Masters golf tournament, but they won’t stream any of the 2024 NHL Playoffs, so you’ll have to look elsewhere to watch the Oilers vs. Stars and Rangers vs. Panthers series.

To watch the 2024 NHL Conference Finals, you’ll need a live TV streaming service that carries ESPN, ABC, and TNT and truTV. You’ll find The Streamable’s advice on which one to choose below!

How to Stream The 2024 NHL Conference Finals

The 2024 NHL Playoff games are airing on ESPN, ABC, and TNT / truTV which means DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV all carry the needed channels. Fubo isn’t a good option as it doesn’t carry TNT or TruTV.

Best Choice for Watching the 2024 NHL Conference Finals: Hulu + Live TV

If value and entertainment are high on your list, Hulu + Live TV is a great way to stream the 2024 NHL Conference Finals. A subscription at $76.99 per month or more gets you free access to the Disney Bundle ($14.99 per month), so you’ll be able to stream Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu to your heart’s content alongside the top channels offered by Hulu + Live TV. Plus, it carries all the channels you need to watch your favorite hockey team throughout the entire 2024 NHL Playoffs. That kind of offering at that price point is why Hulu + Live TV ranks here on our list.

Best Alternative Option: DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM and its wide selection of top channels is perfect for watching the 2024 NHL Conference Finals. The service comes with a five-day free trial for all new customers. DIRECTV STREAM also offers new users $25 off per month for their first two months of service on any plan, after which prices start at $79.99 per month.

DIRECTV STREAM carries all the channels you’ll need to watch the entire 2024 NHL Conference Finals in their base Entertainment package. And, if you want even more sports during the regular season, users can upgrade to the Choice plan to see their local NHL and NHL teams via regional sports networks.

Great Choice For NHL Fans: Sling TV

You can watch the entire NHL Conference Finals with Sling TV if you subscribe to the Orange + Blue plan for $55 per month to get ABC, ESPN, TNT, and TruTV. But, the good news is for a limited time, you can get the first month of Sling Orange or Sling Blue for just $15. Without the deal, the Sling Blue package (which includes ABC, Fox, NBC, and other major sports carriers) costs $40 per month, but you can subscribe for just $15 for the first month. Likewise, the Orange plan runs $40 but includes ESPN, TBS, and TNT, but you can get it for just $15 for one month.

Last Option: YouTube TV

YouTube TV plans start at $72.99 per month, and it carries all the channels you need to watch the entire 2024 NHL Conference Finals. What it doesn’t offer is a wide selection of RSNs, a standardized free trial, or free streaming services bundled into the price, which is why we place it last on our list.

Can You Watch The 2024 NHL Conference Finals on Fubo?

Fubo isn’t a great choice for watching the 2024 NHL Conference Finals because it doesn’t carry TNT, TBS, or TruTV. In fact, Fubo does not carry channels from WarnerMedia-owned (CNN, TBS, and TNT), A+E (A&E, History Channel, and Lifetime), and AMC Networks (AMC, BBC America, and WE tv). However, you will still be able to watch NHL playoff games that appear on ESPN and ABC. And, if you get a subscription to Max, you can catch playoff games that appear on TNT, TruTV and TBS.
