The entire NHL Stanley Cup Final is being streamed in 2D 180° for free in the Xtadium app on Quest.
American owners of Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, or Quest 3S can virtually sit rinkside at no cost using the app, which also offers 2D 180° livestreams of other US sports such as the NBA, NASCAR, and UFC.
Xtadium even lets you co-watch with friends if they also own a Quest, and they’ll appear sitting beside you as their Meta Avatar.
This is the first time the Stanley Cup Final has been streamed live to VR. Xtadium started testing streaming a few NHL games to VR in December, a first for the sport, and it comes via a partnership with TNT Sports.

Xtadium is available for free on the Meta Horizon Store for Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, and Quest 3S, but only in the USA.
