NOTES ON THE 2026-27 SCHEDULE:

· With the NHL regular season beginning two weeks earlier than in previous years, the Flyers will open a regular season in September for the first time in franchise history.

· The 2026-27 NHL schedule expands to 84 games, with each club playing 42 home games and 42 road games. The last time the Flyers played 84 games in the regular season was the 1993-94 season.

· With the expanded 84-game schedule, the Flyers will face each of their Metropolitan Division opponents four times (two home, two road): Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh and Washington.

· Philadelphia's home schedule features 16 weekend games (11 Saturdays and five Sundays).

· January will see the most action with 16 games scheduled, as well as the most home games (8), highlighted by a season-long five-game homestand from Jan. 21-30.

· November includes a season-high nine road games, including five-straight road games from Nov. 5-14. However, the Flyers' longest road trip of the season spans five games from Dec. 27-Jan. 4, when the team embarks on their annual post-holiday trip (Chicago, Seattle, San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles).

· Despite opening the season at home, the Flyers will play four of their first six games on the road.

· The Flyers will also end their regular season at home with a game against the Washington Capitals on Sat., Apr. 10. Despite ending on home ice, the Flyers will play seven of their final 10 regular-season games on the road.

· Philadelphia is scheduled to play 12 back-to-back sets during the 2026-27 season, two less than last season. The club will also play three games in four nights 13 times and four games in six nights nine times.
