Where to watch, live stream, TV channel, schedule : 2025 4 Nations Face-Off

Each national team will feature NHL players from those particular countries. It marks the first time NHL players will compete in an international setting since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Each team will play three games and the top two teams will face off in a winner-take-all championship game. The national teams will earn three points for a regulation win, two points for an overtime or shootout win, one point for an overtime or shootout loss, and no points for a regulation loss.

Much like the NHL, the 4 Nations Face-Off will have a 3-on-3 sudden death overtime period. However, the game will be decided in a 10-minute overtime period rather the NHL’s five minutes. If the teams are still tied following the overtime session, a three-round shootout will decide a winner. In the championship game, overtime will take place in the traditional playoff format with 5-on-5 hockey in consecutive 20-minute periods until a winner is decided.

Leading up to the 4 Nations Face-Off…

a few marquee players have been forced to withdraw due to injury concerns. On Sunday, the Vancouver Canucks announced star defenseman Quinn Hughes — who was slated to play for the United States — was pulling out of the round-robin tournament due to an undisclosed injury that has caused him to miss Vancouver’s last four games. With Hughes now slated to miss the 4 Nations Face-Off, the United States elected to replace him with Ottawa Senators defenseman Jake Sanderson. Sanderson is the second Senators player to be selected to play for the United States, along with forward Brady Tkachuk.

Over the weekend, Canada also underwent a significant charge when it was announced that Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty would be replacing Alex Pietrangelo. Pietrangelo withdrew from the tournament last month due to an undisclosed injury and to prepare for the rest of the NHL regular season. Doughty, 35, recently returned to the Kings’ lineup after fracturing his ankle in a preseason game in late September.

One of the biggest question marks coming into the 4 Nations Face-Off had been whether Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby would suit up for Canada. Crosby missed Pittsburgh’s last two games prior to the break due to an upper-body injury. However, Crosby will be in the lineup when Canada plays Sweden on Wednesday after going through a full practice on Monday.
