The Stanley Cup Final is reportedly going to ESPN.
According to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet, ESPN will become one of the NHL's media partners starting with the 2021-22 season after coming to terms on a seven-year deal. The contract will reportedly give the media company the rights to broadcast four Stanley Cup Finals between 2022 and 2028.
It also provides streaming rights to Disney.
ESPN will split the package with another media company, but which company that will be was not known at this time. Neither were the financial terms of the deal that will take the place of NBC's rights that will expire following the current season.
