It ran from May 9 through May 25, 2025, so current viewers should look for official replays, highlights, game centres, and recaps—not a live stream. The correct archive depends on your country: NHL Network and ESPN+ were the U.S. rights holders, TSN and RDS served Canada, and other viewers should consult the IIHF’s territory-specific broadcast list.
The 2025 IIHF Men’s World Championship is over. It was played from May 9 through May 25, 2025, in Stockholm, Sweden, and Herning, Denmark. If you are looking for a replay, highlights, game centres, or tournament information now, start with the official IIHF schedule and archive pages. The service that carried a game live in 2025 may no longer offer its replay.
Where to watch the 2025 IIHF World Championship online
| Viewer location | 2025 rights holders and online options | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| United States, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands | NHL Network and ESPN+ were listed by the IIHF as U.S. broadcast or streaming rights holders. A qualifying live-TV streaming package could provide NHL Network when the channel was included. | IIHF.TV was not available for this event in the United States and the other listed U.S. territories. ESPN+ should not be assumed to have carried every game or to retain every replay. |
| Canada | TSN and RDS were the Canadian rights holders. TSN+ and TSN’s website and app were the principal online paths identified in contemporary coverage; RDS provided the French-language option. | Check the current TSN or RDS schedule and archive. IIHF.TV was not available for the 2025 tournament in Canada. |
| Other countries | Use the IIHF’s territory-by-territory broadcast-partner list. Examples included SuperSport in sub-Saharan Africa, CCTV in China and Macau, Elta in Chinese Taipei, Viacom18 in India, ORF and Sportdeutschland.TV in Austria, Czech TV in Czechia, and Viaplay in Denmark. | Rights, language feeds, and replay availability differed by country. Do not assume that a service available in one territory worked in another. |
United States: NHL Network and ESPN+
The IIHF’s official 2025 broadcast-partner information listed NHL Network and ESPN+ for the United States, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Contemporary tournament coverage described NHL Network as carrying selected games, including Team USA games, while ESPN+ carried games that were not available through the principal NHL Network distribution.
If you did not have cable, a live-TV streaming package could have been useful only if its package and channel lineup included NHL Network. That is an access method, not a separate IIHF rights holder. Before paying for a package, verify the channel lineup for your ZIP code and confirm whether the desired game or replay is actually listed. You can compare options for watch NHL Network without cable, but do not treat a distributor’s general NHL availability as proof that it still has the 2025 IIHF tournament.

ESPN+ IIHF streaming was another official U.S. path identified by the IIHF. Because the tournament ended in 2025, search ESPN+ for a specific game, team, or tournament replay rather than assuming that the full competition remains in the catalogue. Subscription terms, availability, and archived inventory can change.
Do not use IIHF.TV as a U.S. workaround. The IIHF.TV territory terms specifically listed the United States and the other U.S. territories above as unavailable for the 2025 Men’s World Championship. A VPN or other method intended to bypass a territorial restriction is not an appropriate recommendation.
Canada: TSN, TSN+, and RDS
In Canada, the IIHF listed TSN and RDS as the live-TV and streaming rights holders. Contemporary coverage said TSN carried every game and that Canadian viewers could stream through TSN+, TSN.ca, and the TSN app. RDS was the French-language rights-holder option.

For a replay today, search TSN’s current schedule and video library for the particular matchup. The 2025 tournament is no longer a live event, and the research establishing its original distribution does not establish that TSN, TSN+, or RDS still offers every archived game. Canadian viewers should also not expect IIHF.TV to provide a second route: Canada was among the territories excluded from IIHF.TV coverage for this championship.
International viewers: find your country’s rights holder first
The IIHF published a territory-by-territory broadcast list for the tournament. That list is the safest starting point because it identifies both the broadcaster and the type of rights reported for each territory. Depending on location, viewers may have needed a local television network, its streaming service, or a designated digital platform.
Examples from the 2025 list included:
- Sub-Saharan Africa: SuperSport
- China and Macau: CCTV
- Chinese Taipei: Elta
- India: Viacom18
- Austria: ORF and Sportdeutschland.TV
- Czechia: Czech TV
- Denmark: Viaplay
These examples are not a universal viewing list, and they do not establish current replay availability. Open the IIHF’s official broadcast-partner information, identify your country, and then check the named broadcaster’s own schedule. Pay attention to whether the listing says live television, streaming, highlights, or another rights category; those labels are not interchangeable.

Can you watch the tournament on IIHF.TV?
IIHF.TV launched in 2025 as the IIHF’s subscription streaming platform for live and on-demand IIHF content in territories without a local rights holder. It was not a worldwide replacement for national broadcasters.
Before subscribing, check IIHF.TV territory availability for your country and the specific tournament. The platform’s territory terms listed the 2025 Men’s World Championship as unavailable in the United States and Canada, as well as in many other territories with local rights arrangements. In some countries, selected games rather than the complete tournament could be available.
Free tools Windows power users keep installed
One-click scans. No signup required.
The practical rule is simple: if your country had no listed local rights holder, check the IIHF.TV territory page before subscribing. Availability was geoblocked and could vary by country and tournament. A subscription should not be treated as a guarantee of access in a blocked territory, and territorial restrictions should not be bypassed.

Fastest way to find a replay
- Identify your territory. Streaming rights were assigned by country or region, not globally.
- Check the official IIHF schedule or game centre. Look for a highlight, recap, or archived-video link for the exact game.
- Check your local rights holder. In the U.S., start with NHL Network and ESPN+; in Canada, start with TSN, TSN+, and RDS.
- Verify the current catalogue. A 2025 rights arrangement does not guarantee that a service still hosts the replay in 2026.
- Use IIHF.TV only after checking its territory terms. It is a territory-limited option, not a universal backup.
What not to assume
- The tournament is not live or upcoming; it ended on May 25, 2025.
- IIHF.TV was not an unrestricted alternative for viewers in the United States or Canada.
- Fubo or another live-TV streaming package was not an IIHF rights holder. It was relevant only as a possible way to receive NHL Network if the subscriber’s package included the channel.
- ESPN+ should not be described as carrying every game unless a current, game-specific listing confirms it.
- TSN+, RDS, NHL Network, and other services may have changed their replay libraries after the tournament.
- A VPN should not be recommended to evade a geographic restriction.
For a historical viewing search, the most reliable approach is to match the game to the rights holder for the country where you watched it, then confirm whether an official replay or highlight is still available. The 2025 champion was the United States, but the correct online archive depends on your territory and the provider’s current catalogue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2025 IIHF World Championship still live?
No. The 2025 tournament ended on May 25, 2025. You may still find official game centres, highlights, recaps, or replays, but availability depends on the archive and your country.
How could viewers in the United States watch the 2025 IIHF Championship online?
The IIHF listed NHL Network and ESPN+ as U.S. rights holders. A live-TV streaming package could provide NHL Network only when the subscriber’s package and channel lineup included it.
How could viewers in Canada stream the 2025 IIHF Championship?
TSN and RDS were the Canadian rights holders. TSN+, TSN.ca, and the TSN app were identified as streaming paths, while RDS provided the French-language option. Current replay availability should be checked directly.
Was the 2025 IIHF Championship available on IIHF.TV?
Only if the IIHF.TV territory terms permit access in your country. The 2025 Men’s World Championship was listed as unavailable on IIHF.TV in the United States and Canada, and access varied elsewhere.
The Bottom Line
Bottom line: The 2025 IIHF Men’s World Championship ended May 25, 2025. U.S. viewers should check NHL Network and ESPN+, Canadian viewers should check TSN/TSN+ and RDS, and viewers elsewhere should use the IIHF’s territory-specific broadcast list. IIHF.TV may help only where its terms permit access; it was not available for this event in the United States or Canada.
