Sunday’s men’s ice hockey final live stream at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games sees the curtain come down on this year’s games with one of the most anticipated events – a rematch of the thrilling USA v Canada women’s final just a few days ago.
Now the pair go head-to-head in a final between two unbeaten nations. After scoring 36 goals between them in the group stage, they haven’t had the playoffs all their own way. It took Canada, with a third-period attack and a last-minute goal from the Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon, to fall to champions Finland in the semifinals. While the USA was taken to overtime by Sweden in the quarter before the Minnesota Wild’s Quinn Hughes hit his game-winning shot.
