Nashville opens the campaign at Bridgestone Arena before navigating a schedule packed with holiday matchups, heavy home-ice stints, and crucial road tests across the Western Conference.
The season is set for the Nashville Predators, as they announced their entire 2026-27 regular-season slate on Thursday, which will kick off at home against the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 1
The NHL All-Star Game will return, hosted by the New York Islanders on Feb. 6 at UBS Arena in Belmont, New York. The Predators will be on a break from Feb. 3 to Feb. 12.
Nashville will play 11 back-to-backs this season, with the earliest coming on Oct. 24 at Oct. 25 against Pittsburgh on the road and against Colorado at home. Six of those back-to-backs will come on the road.
Fans will see a lot of the Predators at home in the first month, as nine of their first 14 matchups will be played at Bridgestone Arena. On the flip side, the Predators will be out of town for the bulk of January, playing 10 of their 17 games on the road.
Tuesdays and Saturdays will be busy on Broadway as the Predators play a combined 28 times at home on those two days. Thursday's and Saturday's will also be big road game days with 20 matchups occurring combined on those two days.
The Predators have two five game road trips this season, with the first coming from Nov. 10-17 against all three California teams, Vegas and Minnesota. From March 9-17, they will face St. Louis followed by all four of Canada's Western Conference teams.
Things are a little bit more festive this season as Nashville will play on Halloween against Tampa Bay at home and against Florida on New Year's Day at Bridgestone.
Nashville will also play at home on Black Friday against Utah, Boxing Day, Dec. 26, against Detroit and against the Wild at home at the NHL Trade Deadline on March 6.
There will be 18 afternoon games, 13 of which will be played at home.
Fans can watch all locally broadcast Predators games on “The Spot – Nashville 28” over the air with an antenna, on cable and satellite distributors serving the Predators territory and on WTVF NewsChannel 5 when programming is designated.
