The 4 Nations Face-off Tournament will be held February 12 to February 20, 2025 and co-hosted between two cities; Montreal and Boston. Since fans have not seen elite hockey players participate in an international hockey event since the 2014 Winter Olympics, the NHL and NHLPA are hosting the event. It will feature 4 teams made up entirely of NHL Players; Canada, Finland, Sweden, and USA. The event will replace this year’s NHL All-Star Game.
The format will be a round-robin, and the top two teams will face-off in the Final of February 20, 2025 in Boston.
