HomeOpener

We're kicking off the 2021-22 season home opener in style with tons of pregame festivities that are sure to get you pumped ahead of our game against the New York Rangers.

TICKETS: Home opener vs. NYR
Starting at 5:00 p.m., fans can head over to the pregame party in the Rio Tinto courtyard located along the east side of the building. Before getting your party on, make sure to arrive early and stop by the security tents located along l'Avenue des Canadiens to have your vaccine passport verified in advance for a speedier entrance on game night. Please note that ALL fans aged 13 and over must have a valid vaccine passport or proof of full vaccination from their home province.
Now let's get in on the fun stuff. From fire pits to games and special activations, there will be something for every Habs fan. Check out the Bell Booth and get an autograph and your picture taken with Canadiens alumni like Steve Begin, Oleg Petrov and Stephane Richer. Take advantage of 25% off all player t-shirts by stopping by the Tricolore Sports booth (offer valid in store and online on October 16 only).
As part of our first FANatic Saturday of the season, catch Marc Dumont live at the Bell Centre for his Twitter Q&A at 5:45 p.m. By 6:20 p.m., we'll have special guest DJ Skratch Bastid spinning in-bowl throughout the on-ice warmup. Once inside, please note that masks will be enforced for all fans aged 5 and over unless you're actively eating or drinking. No backpacks or other bags will be permitted inside the Bell Centre, except for purses that don't exceed the following dimensions: 10" x 8" x 6". The Bell Centre has gone cashless, and ATMs will not be operational. Only credit or debit card transactions will be permitted.
Make sure to grab a bracelet for our special pregame light show brought to you by Montreal-based company PixMob. Ceremonies will kick off at 7:00 p.m., so be sure to get to your seats early to help remind the players what 21,000 raucous fans sounds like!
