The 2021 Stanley Cup Final is now set! The Montreal Canadiens, making their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 1993, will play the Tampa Bay Lightning, the defending Stanley Cup champions.

The 2021 Stanley Cup Final will serve as NBC/NBCSN's last set of NHL telecasts following 16 seasons of NHL coverage. The national TV contract will turn over to ESPN/ABC and Turner Sports, starting next season.

Game 1 of Canadiens vs. Lightning is on Monday, June 28th at 8:00 PM (ET), on NBCSN. Games 1 & 2 will be on NBCSN, with the remaining games of the series over on NBC.

2021 MLB on TBS Schedule

Following some remarks on my blog, I have decided to upload and track the 2021 MLB on TBS schedule.

The 2021 MLB on TBS Schedule will begin on Sunday, June 20th at 1:00 PM (ET) as Matt Olson and the Oakland Athletics visit Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, live from Yankee Stadium in New York. Don Orsillo (play-by-play) and Ron Darling (analyst) will call TBS' first regularly scheduled game of the season.

Following the Athletics-Yankees broadcast, TBS will air one Sunday afternoon game nationally throughout the remainder of the 2021 regular season.

TBS will be the exclusive home of the 2021 National League playoffs this fall, from the Wild Card to the National League Championship Series.

Beginning next season in 2022, TBS will move their weekly regular season game coverage from Sunday afternoons to Tuesday nights. Plus, they will debut a new studio show hosted by Ernie Johnson and analyst Curtis Granderson, with contributions from Pedro Martinez and Jimmy Rollins.
