Schedule – 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs
Only the first round is currently scheduled. The second round, conference finals, and Stanley Cup Finals schedules will be released later in the playoffs and will be based on how quickly each previous round finishes in each conference. If required, a Stanley Cup Finals Game 7 would take place no later than 23 June 2025.
Home ice in the first and second rounds (guaranteeing a home game in games 1, 2, 5*, and 7*) goes to the team with the higher regular-season position. In the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Finals, home ice goes to the team with the better regular-season record, regardless of their divisional or conference position.
*Games 5, 6, and 7 only if necessary.
Known start times are listed in local time (PDT is UTC/GMT -7, MDT is UTC/GMT -6, CDT is UTC/GMT -5, and EDT is UTC/GMT -4).
