Game 6 of the NHL Stanley Cup playoff series Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators will be played on Friday, May 3, 2024 at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM PT). The game will be broadcast on TNT and will continue Sling TV and the live TV streaming platforms listed below.
How to watch Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators Game 6 without cable
If your cable subscription doesn't include TNT, or if you've cut the cord with your cable company, you can still watch the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Below are the platforms where you can watch today's NHL Playoffs game.
Sling TV: The most cost-effective way to stream Canucks vs. predators
If you don't have cable and want to watch today's hockey game, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream the playoffs is through a Sling TV subscription. To watch hockey in the postseason, you'll need a subscription to the Orange + Blue tier. Also worth noting: Sling TV comes with 50 hours of cloud-based DVR recording space included, perfect for recording tonight's championship game.
Sling's Orange + Blue tier costs $60 per month, but the platform currently offers $25 off the first month of any pricing tier, making the Orange + Blue tier $35 the first month. You can cancel at any time.
Note: Because Sling TV doesn't offer CBS, you won't be able to watch CBS-broadcast programming like next year's NFL games on CBS. If you're looking for a live TV streaming platform to watch all your favorite sports, we suggest a subscription to Hulu + Live TV.
Key features of the Sling TV Orange + Blue tier:
- There are 46 channels to watch in total, including ABC, NBC and Fox (if available).
- You get access to NHL games that air on TNT and TBS, which Fubo doesn't include.
- All subscription levels include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.
