The Vegas Golden Knights have released their schedule for the 2026-27 regular season. They’ll begin at home on September 29th against the Chicago Blackhawks, and end at home on April 10th against the Los Angeles Kings.
This year, the league is shortening the preseason and adding two more regular season games. However, there also isn’t a month-long Olympic Break this year, so the regular season schedule isn’t as condensed.
The Golden Knights will play eight back-to-backs this season, a step up from 12 in 2025-26. Five of the back-to-backs will both take place on the road; none of the back-to-backs will both be at home.
During the 2026-27 season, the Golden Knights have two separate five-game homestands. Both homestands will be played over eight-day periods.
This season, the Golden Knights don’t have any two-week-long road trips. Instead, they’ll have five different four-game road trips. Two of the five road trips will span seven days, one will run for six days, and the other two will last five days.
