Sunday, Feb. 11 will give fans a live look at Olympics Women’s Hockey. Here’s how you can watch the match between Canada and Russia via live stream. 

Olympics women’s hockey gets started on Saturday, Feb. 10 with two games. Both matches will feature Group B teams. Sunday, however, will feature the two Group A teams everyone cares about: Team USA and Team Canada. Both Canada and Russia will make their 2018 Olympics debuts when they square off at 7:10 a.m. ET.

Entering the 2018 Winter Olympics, Canada is ranked second in the world, according to the IIHF. They’ve won the gold medal in the past four Olympic games. The only time Canada didn’t win (1998), they still got the silver medal. Expect more of the same from them as they enter the Olympics with arguably the deepest roster in the world.

Canada has been the runner-up to the United States in each of the past four World Championships. However, they tend to raise their game when the stakes are highest. The Olympics has yet to have a women’s hockey championship game without Canada, and 2018 probably won’t be the year this changes.

The Olympic Athletes from Russia will not be participating under their nation’s flag or have its anthem play. But they enter the 2018 Olympics ranked fourth in the world. Though Russia initially finished sixth in the 2014 Olympics, they were later disqualified due to doping. Most recently, they placed fifth in the 2017 World Championships while winning the bronze medal in the 2016 World Championships.

Captain Anna Shibanova will try to lead the Olympic Athletes from Russia to a medal. Keep an eye on their two 19-year-old defensemen Nina Pirogova and Yekaterina Lobova, as well as teenage forward Fanuza Kadirova.

Date: Sunday, Feb. 11
Time: 7:10 a.m. ET
