The 2024 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 2023–24 season and the culmination of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs. The Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers defeated the Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers four games to three in the best-of-seven series, earning their first championship in their thirty year history.
The series began on June 8 and ended on June 24. The Panthers had home-ice advantage in the series as the team with the better regular season record, and this was the fifth consecutive Stanley Cup Finals with a team from the state of Florida.
This was the furthest distance between two cities in an NHL Finals at 4,089 kilometres (2,541 miles), breaking the previous record of 4,023 km (2,500 mi), set in 2011 by the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins. This was the first Finals since 1945 to see a team force a seventh game after being down 3–0, with Florida becoming the first team since that occurrence to win the title in seven games after nearly surrendering a 3–0 series lead. This was also the first Finals since 2018 without any overtime.
