When Is the 2025 Stanley Cup Final?

The Stanley Cup is often considered the most difficult trophy to win in the sports landscape due to the gruelling two months of playoff action that includes four best-of-seven series. 

The Stanley Cup Final is the culmination of those two months, and it usually takes place in the first three weeks of June. 

Those with BetMGM accounts can bet on hockey throughout the postseason until the Stanley Cup is awarded to the last team standing.
