Canucks Announce 2026‑27 Campaign
The Vancouver Canucks have released their 2026‑27 regular‑season schedule, confirming a 84‑game slate that will see them open the campaign on the road against the Edmonton Oilers on September 29, 2026. The team will then return to Vancouver for its first home game on October 1, also against the Oilers, giving fans an early chance to see the new roster in action.
Pre‑season play begins on September 19 and runs through September 26, featuring four exhibition matches. The Canucks will face the Seattle Kraken and the Calgary Flames during that stretch, with two of those games scheduled at Rogers Arena, including a showdown against the Oilers.
The regular season will culminate on April 10, 2027, when the Canucks host the Calgary Flames in their final contest of the year. That game marks the second meeting between the two provincial rivals during the schedule and promises a dramatic finish to the campaign.
Beyond the highlighted openers and closers, the calendar is peppered with matchups against a wide range of opponents. The Canucks will meet the Oilers multiple times throughout the season, split their series with the Flames, and travel to arenas such as New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, among others.
Veteran leaders like Elias Pettersson and Jake DeBrusk are expected to anchor the lineup, while emerging talent such as Liam Ohgren, Filip Hronek, Ty Mueller, and Kevin Lankinen add depth and versatility. The breadth of the schedule provides ample opportunity for these players to make an impact across the league.
