The Buffalo Sabres' 2023-24 season will begin on home ice when the New York Rangers visit KeyBank Center on October 12.

The NHL announced the full regular-season schedules for all 32 NHL teams Tuesday afternoon.

Full Season Memberships are on sale now. Half Season Memberships will be available for purchase on July 11 while Quarter Season Plans, Mini Packs and Single Game tickets will become available at a later date. Theme night information and the full broadcast schedule will be announced later this summer.

Five of Buffalo's first six games will be at KeyBank Center, including a four-game homestand that starts on October 17.

The team's longest homestand of the season will take place from January 9 through January 20 (against Seattle, Ottawa, Vancouver, San Jose, Chicago and Tampa Bay).

The Sabres will go on their bye week following their California road trip and right before All-Star Weekend, which will be held in Toronto on February 2 and 3. The team will return from the bye week with a four-game homestand that begins on February 6 against Dallas.

Buffalo's final home game of the regular season is set for April 11 against Washington and the club will wrap up the schedule with a two-game trip in Florida against the Panthers on April 13 and the Lightning on April 15.
