NHL Schedule 2026-27

What’s New in the 2026-27 NHL Schedule

Each team plays 84 games this season, up from 82. That adds 32 games to the league total, for a record 1,344. It’s the first 84-game season since 1993-94.

  • Earlier start: opening night is Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026. A regular season has never started in North America before October until now.
  • Shorter preseason: most teams play four warm-up games, down from six.
  • More rivalry games: every team now plays each division rival four times.
  • Monday matinees: the league added a run of Monday afternoon games so fans in Europe can watch in the evening.
  • Same finish: the regular season ends Saturday, April 10, 2027, with all 32 teams playing.

How each team’s 84 games are split

Outdoor games, Europe games and All-Star Weekend in 2026-27.

The Winter Classic is Utah’s first outdoor game. The 2026 Stanley Cup Final rematch comes twice: Dec. 21 in Vegas and Jan. 17 in Carolina.

What I’m watching: Oct. 13 and April 10. They’re the only two nights when all 32 teams play. That means 16 games in one evening. Plan for a long night.

How to Use This NHL Schedule

  • By month: tap a month, then a day. The small calendar shows how many games each date has, and a tap on a date jumps to it.
  • By team: pick a team and its full season loads in place. You also get its home and away split and its back-to-back count (games on two nights in a row).
  • “At” means away: in “Florida Panthers at Carolina Hurricanes”, Florida is the visitor.
  • All times are ET: Central is 1 hour behind, Mountain 2 and Pacific 3. The UK is 5 hours ahead and Central Europe 6.
  • Check back, don’t screenshot: games move for TV and arena conflicts. This page updates on its own. A saved image doesn’t.
