2025-26 NHL Preseason Schedule; Matchups, Times

The 2025-26 NHL preseason schedule is being released by team again this year. The first preseason matchups begin on September 21st, 2025. The teams are playing between six and seven games this year (some could play eight). As matchups and times are available, we are including them for you below. As each team releases their schedule, we’ll update the overall schedule for you.

When does the 2025-26 NHL Preseason schedule Take Place? 

The 2025-26 NHL preseason starts on September 21st, 2025. While the 2025-26 NHL regular season is expected to start on October 7th, we’ll see some bleedover with some of the preseason games like we did last season. Just like before, we’ll see some of the preseason plans published ahead of the NHL regular season schedule release too. 

2025-26 NHL Preseason Schedule

We have all of the 2025-26 NHL preseason schedule matchups for the teams who have released them so far. As the schedules come out, we’ll keep you updated here. The preseason is always a great place for teams to workout their new free agents, players taken in the 2025 NHL draft, and to just work on things that didn’t go so well in the 2025-26 NHL regular season. 

2025 NHL Preseason Schedule Updates

Please note, as the schedules for each NHL team are released, we’ll come back and update you here. Timezone-wise, we list what the team lists. So, please double check when making plans to travel to a game or watch it on TV/streams.
