Stay up late and make sure you don’t miss the Winter Olympics Men’s Hockey Gold Medal game in South Korea.

The Winter Olympics Men’s Hockey gold medal game is just around the corner. Here is all the information you need to make sure you don’t miss who ends up going home with gold.

Date: Sunday, Feb. 25
Venue: Gangneung Hockey Centre
Time (Local): 1:10 p.m.
Time (Stateside): 11:10 p.m. ET on Feb. 24
Television: NBCSports Network
Streaming: NBCOlympics.com and FuboTV

It’s a late night game for those on the east coast but will be worth it if Team USA is playing. With no NHL players in this year’s Games, the tournament is wide open. Team USA enters the tournament ranked fifth by the IIHF, but have a good mix of veterans and young players that could carry them to the medal round.

Following the three preliminary games featuring the four teams in each group, a single-game elimination tournament will take place. Team Canada is once again the favorites to take home the Gold. They went home winners in 2010 in Vancouver and 2014 in Sochi. A three-peat performance will be tough without the likes of Sidney Crosby and John Tavares.

Olympic Athletes of Russia may have the best chance at claiming their first Gold since 1988. They have former NHL superstars Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datysuk on their roster.

The Bronze Medal game takes place at 2:40 a.m. ET on Feb. 24.
