==Paths to the Finals==
===Edmonton Oilers===
This is Edmonton's eighth Finals appearance. They have won the Stanley Cup five times, all of which came between and during their dynasty years. They lost their most recent Finals appearance in , against the Carolina Hurricanes in seven games.
During the offseason, the Oilers acquired forward Connor Brown and defenceman Ben Gleason via free agency. They also re-signed forward Mattias Janmark. The team started the season poorly, going before firing head coach Jay Woodcroft and replacing him with Kris Knoblauch. The team rebounded greatly finishing with a record under Knoblauch. Edmonton then signed free agent Corey Perry during the season, after Perry's existing contract with the Chicago Blackhawks was terminated for misconduct. Nearing the trade deadline, the team acquired centres Sam Carrick and Adam Henrique via a three-way trade; they also acquired defenceman Troy Stecher.
Captain Connor McDavid led the team in scoring with 132 points. 100 of those points were assists, making him the fourth NHL player to record at least 100 assists in a season, the most recent being Wayne Gretzky in 1990–91. Perry is making his fifth Finals appearance, previously winning with the Anaheim Ducks and losing with the Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, and Tampa Bay Lightning; this makes him the first player to play in the Stanley Cup Finals for five different teams.
The Oilers finished the regular season with 104 points via a record, which gave them second place in the Pacific Division. In the first round of the playoffs, the Oilers defeated one of their rivals, the Los Angeles Kings, in five games. Edmonton then gained a seven-game victory against the Vancouver Canucks in the second round. They then defeated the Dallas Stars in six games in the conference finals.
===Florida Panthers===
This is the second consecutive and third overall Finals appearance for the Panthers. They lost both previous Finals appearances, being swept in four games in by the Colorado Avalanche and losing in five games to the Vegas Golden Knights in .
During the offseason, the Panthers signed defencemen Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Dmitry Kulikov, forward Evan Rodrigues, and goaltender Anthony Stolarz in free agency. They also re-signed Eetu Luostarinen and traded for Steven Lorentz. At the trade deadline, the team acquired Vladimir Tarasenko, Magnus Hellberg, and Kyle Okposo. They also acquired Tobias Bjornfot via waivers. They also re-signed Gustav Forsling shortly before the trade deadline.
Sam Reinhart led the team in scoring with 57 goals and 94 points.
The Panthers finished first in the Atlantic Division with 110 points via a record. In the first round, they defeated their intra-state rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in five games. In the second round, they won in six games against the Boston Bruins in a rematch from the previous season's first round. In the Eastern Conference final, they faced the New York Rangers, who had won the Presidents' Trophy by having the best regular season record, and defeated them in six games.

In Canada, this was the tenth consecutive Stanley Cup Finals broadcast by Sportsnet and CBC Television in English, and TVA Sports in French. The series was also streamed on Sportsnet+, but was not available on CBC Gem like in previous years.
In the United States, the series was being televised on ABC and streamed on ESPN+. This was the third year of a seven-year deal in which ABC/ESPN+ will show the Finals in even years and TNT/Max will televise the series in odd years.
For the first time, the Finals were broadcast with commentary and analysis in American Sign Language for the benefit of the Deaf community on both ESPN+ and Sportsnet+.
