The best and brightest of the world’s under-20 hockey players are in Gothenburg Sweden this week for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Hockey championship. The tournament runs through Friday, Jan. 5, and is one of the most prestigious hockey competitions for young players in the entire world.
- The 2024 IIHF World Juniors are on NHL Network in the United States.
- The cheapest way to watch that channel through the conclusion of the tournament is via Sling TV.
- Thanks to a limited-time offer from Sling, new customers can watch NHL Network and a package of other Sling channels for $31 for their first month.
How to Watch 2024 IIHF World Juniors at a Bargain Price
Sling TV is one of the cheapest live TV streaming services available, particularly if you enjoy watching top cable channels like ESPN and TNT. Its base plans start at just $40 per month and offer around 40 channels each. In some of the biggest media markets, Sling even offers local channels like ABC, NBC and Fox.
NHL Network isn’t available in any Sling base plan, but users can grab it in the Sports Extra add-on pack. That package has 11 total channels including NHL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV, ESPNU, Tennis Channel, and more for $11 per month.
That would bring the cost of streaming the rest of the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship to $51 for your first month normally, which is still an excellent value. But for a limited time, new Sling customers can get up to 50% off their first month of service thanks to a special offer from the streamer. That will lower the cost of watching the rest of the 2024 IIHF World Juniors to just $31 with a Sling subscription, and you’ll get a full month of streaming your favorite cable channels as well!
