The 4 Nations Face-Off has taken the hockey world by storm. All the bragging rights come down to Thursday.

USA and Canada play for the international tournament's championship on Thursday evening.

The Face-Off is temporarily replacing the NHL's annual All-Star Game for 2025.

This will be the last of seven games played from February 12–20, 2025.

Here's how to watch the highly anticipated match-up between USA and Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off Final.

The two neighboring nations played each other once already in the 4 Nations Face-Off.

It was a contentious 3-1 win by Team USA, where Jake Guentzel scored the first goal and the empty-net dagger, while Dylan Larkin scored USA's second goal. It's impossible to talk about the game without mentioning the three fights in the first nine seconds of the game.

It doesn't end there, either. Before the game, fans in Montreal booed the U.S. national anthem before the game even began. Fans followed the boos by passionately singing "O Canada."

This game will not be in Montreal, however. It'll be in Boston. Expect the Canadians to get a, well, warm welcome to put it lightly.
