The Edmonton Oilers will begin the 2026-27 NHL season with renewed expectations after a disappointing first-round playoff exit last spring. The NHL released the club’s full 84-game regular-season schedule, featuring several marquee matchups and key divisional tests.
Edmonton opens the season with a home-and-home series against the Vancouver Canucks on Sept. 29 and Oct. 1. The Oilers then face another home-and-away against the Utah Mammoth on Oct. 15 and 17 before hosting the defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 22.
Other notable home games include visits from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 24 and the Calgary Flames on Oct. 28. A Halloween road matchup against the New York Islanders on Oct. 31 starts a challenging eastern trip that also includes the Rangers and Devils.
Edmonton’s longest homestand stretches across the All-Star break with eight straight home games. The regular season concludes with an away-and-home against the Winnipeg Jets, ending April 10 at Rogers Place.

After wasting Connor McDavid‘s dominant 2025-26 campaign, the Oilers face immediate pressure to respond. The schedule provides early measuring-stick games against playoff contenders, making October an important month for setting the tone.
