The 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs will be the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 2023–24 season. The playoffs will begin on April 20, 2024, and will conclude no later than June 24, 2024, with the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals, to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup.[1][2]

Both the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs extended their playoff streaks to eight consecutive seasons, the longest active streak.

This is the ninth year in which the top three teams in each division make the playoffs, along with two wild cards in each conference (for a total of eight playoff teams from each conference).

As of April 12, the following teams have qualified for the playoffs:[3]

Media

In Canada, this will mark the tenth postseason under Rogers Media's 12-year contract. Games will air across the Sportsnet networks and CBC under the Hockey Night in Canada brand. For first and second-round U.S.–U.S. games not on CBC, Sportsnet generally simulcasts the U.S. feed instead of producing their own telecast. The 2024 Stanley Cup Finals will simulcast on both CBC and Sportsnet. Games will stream live on Sportsnet+ and CBC Gem (for games televised on CBC).[citation needed]

In the U.S., this will mark the third year of a seven-year agreement with the ESPN family of Networks and TNT Sports. Games in the first two rounds will air across ESPN, ESPN2, ABC; and TNT and TBS. Each U.S. team's regional broadcaster will also televise local coverage of first-round games, except for games on ABC. ESPN/ABC then has the first choice of which conference finals series to broadcast, and TNT will air the other series. As per the alternating rotation, ABC will have coverage of the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals.[4] This will be the first playoffs that the streaming service Max will have live access to all TNT Sports-produced games on its Bleacher Report Sports Add-on tier.[5] ESPN+ will stream all ABC games and selected ESPN games.

This will be the second of a four-year deal that Sports USA Radio Network will syndicate select Stanley Cup playoff games via NHL Radio across the U.S., including the entire conference finals and Stanley Cup Finals.[6]
