The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off (French: Confrontation des 4 nations) was an international ice hockey tournament held from February 12 until February 20, 2025. The games were played in Montreal at Bell Centre and in Boston at TD Garden. Hosted by the National Hockey League (NHL) and featuring only NHL players, the 4 Nations Face-Off temporarily replaced the NHL's annual All-Star Game for 2025. In the tournament, teams representing Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States played each other in a round-robin format, followed by a one-game final between the two top-placed teams. Although each team's respective national ice hockey governing body selected the rosters, the tournament was primarily an NHL-only event, having no affiliation with the worldwide International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).
Co-hosts Canada won the tournament by beating fellow co-hosts United States 3–2 after overtime in the final held in Boston.
