June 2 opens ESPN’s exclusive 2026 Stanley Cup Final package, with the main broadcast on ABC and alternate feeds on the ESPN App through a potential Game 7 on June 17.
SkyCast is the headline addition: ESPN Unlimited subscribers will get an aerial over-ice feed with commentary and replays, the first time such a camera is allowed directly above the ice at select times in the Final.
ESPN also added a Spanish-language presentation and “NHL in ASL,” a full alternate telecast tailored to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.
The series pits Carolina, chasing its first title since 2006, against Vegas, which is seeking a second championship after winning the Cup in 2023.
