The Bolts will start the season at home when they face the Ottawa Senators on October 9 at Amalie Arena. They’ll stay in Tampa for a Saturday matchup against the New Jersey Devils before heading out on a four-game road trip against the Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals, Detroit Red Wings, and Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Lightning will face each Atlantic Division opponent four times this season, with the exception of the Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs, who they’ll meet three times each.
The busiest month comes in March, when they play 16 games over 29 days, including a season-high eight at AMALIE Arena, the most home games they will have in any single month.
On February 1, 2026, the Lightning will take center stage at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Buccaneers, as they host the NHL’s Stadium Series against division rival Boston Bruins.
