After the All-Star Game wasn't held the past two seasons due to the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025 and 2026 Winter Olympics, it returns this season to UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders. The Skills competition will be Feb. 5, and the new-look All-Star Game will be Feb. 6.

Other key dates include the Thanksgiving Showdown between the Rangers and Boston Bruins on Nov. 28, and a Stanley Cup rematch on Dec. 21 in Vegas and Jan. 17 in Carolina.

There will be two days where all 32 teams will be in action; Oct. 13 and April 10.

The Walt Disney Company (ESPN/ABC), TNT Sports (TNT/HBO Max) and Sportsnet are the NHL’s national broadcast partners for the 2026-27 season and will provide comprehensive coverage throughout the season. Complete broadcast details will be announced when available.
