From the 2005-06 to the 2020-21 seasons, NBC was the exclusive broadcaster of the Stanley Cup Finals. However, ESPN/ABC announced on March 9, 2021, that they will hold half of the next media rights to the NHL including 4 Stanley Cup Finals from 2022-2028. One month later, their second counterparts at TBS/TNT ("Turner Sports") announced they would share the media rights with Disney's broadcasters. On July 7, 2021, NBC showed their final game as the official U.S. network to telecast the National Hockey League.
