How and when to watch Game 7 of the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars NHL Playoff series
Game 7 of the Vegan Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs series will be played on Sunday, May 5, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT). The game will air on TBS and TruTV and stream on Sling TV and the live TV streaming platforms featured below.
How to watch the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars Game 7 without cable
If your cable subscription doesn’t carry TBS or TruTV, or you’ve cut the cord with your cable company, you can still watch the playoffs. Below are the platforms on which you can watch today’s NHL Playoffs game.
Sling TV: The most cost-effective way to stream the Golden Knights vs. Stars game
If you don’t have cable and you want to watch the today’s game, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream playoff games is through a subscription to Sling TV. 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 today’s championship game.
Sling’s Orange + Blue tier costs $60 per month, but the platform is currently offering $25 off the first month of any pricing tier, making the Orange + Blue tier $35 for the first month. You can cancel anytime.
Note: Because Sling TV doesn’t carry CBS, you won’t be able to watch CBS-aired programming like next year’s NFL games on CBS. If you’re looking for one live TV streaming platform to watch all your favorite sports, we suggest a subscription to Hulu + Live TV.
Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue tier:
- There are 46 channels to watch in total, including ABC, NBC and Fox (where available).
- You get access to NHL games airing on TNT and TBS, which Fubo doesn’t carry.
- All subscription tiers include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.
