In an exciting departure from the usual NHL All-Star game and Skills Competition, the 4 Nations Face-Off 2025 will take center stage during the traditional "all-star break" in 2025.

Instead of focusing on following intense division rivalries and tight wildcard points races, fans can look forward to a highly anticipated tournament where the league's top talent teams up with some of their fiercest competitors to represent their home countries.

Here's what to know about the 4 Nations Face-Off 2025 and how to watch.

What Is The 4 Nations Face-Off?

In February 2024, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced at the NHL All-Star Game that the NHL would be modifying the all-star break for the 2025 season to an international tournament with the NHL's best players from four of the world's best hockey nations.

The intent of the tournament is to act as a stepping stone towards the NHL's participation in the upcoming winter Olympics in 2026 and 2030—a change since players were not released to participate in 2018 and 2022.

The 4 Nations Face-Off is a round-robin tournament between four teams consisting of NHL players from each of the participating countries: United States, Canada, Sweden, Finland.

Each team will be made up of 13 forwards, seven defensemen and three goalies and they will play games in accordance with NHL rules. They will play three games and earn points:

• 3 points for a win in regulation time
• 2 points for a win in overtime/shootout
• 1 point for a loss in overtime/shootout
• 0 points for a loss in regulation time

The two teams with the best record will move on to the final. 

Games will be played in two venues across North America—starting with four games at the Bell Centre in Montreal between Feb. 12-15 and moving to TD Garden in Boston, MA for the last three games.
