The NHL is expanding the regular season to 84 games per team (from 82), adding two extra divisional games. This will be the first 84-game season in the modern era, with the full schedule release today (July 16, 2026) after opening night matchups were announced on July 15.
Key Flyers Details:
- Home opener/season opener: The Flyers host the Pittsburgh Penguins on September 30, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). This is a rematch from their 2026 first-round playoff series.
- The Flyers record all-time in their home opener is 33-18-5-2, and the last few seasons they have opened on the road.
This is a strong rivalry matchup to kick off the longer season at home—exciting for Flyers fans! The preseason schedule is already out (mostly late September), but the regular season starts late September.
