The Chicago Blackhawks have unveiled their full 2026‑27 regular‑season schedule, a 84‑game slate that blends early‑season road tests with a packed home calendar.

Opening Night and Early Road Trip

The season will open on the road against the Vegas Golden Knights on September 29, setting the stage for a campaign that features most weekday home games at 7 p.m. CT to accommodate fans of all ages.

The Blackhawks will then welcome the St. Louis Blues for their home opener on October 6, kicking off a stretch that includes two seven‑game home stands and nine matinee contests throughout the year.

Holiday Matchups and Special Events

The schedule is punctuated by holiday games, with contests slated for Thanksgiving, New Year’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day, each offering a festive atmosphere at the United Center.

Global Series in Germany

In a nod to the NHL’s international reach, Chicago will travel to Düsseldorf for two regular‑season games on December 18 and 20, marking the league’s latest stop in the Global Series.

All‑Star Break and Ticket Sales

The NHL All‑Star Weekend will be held on Long Island, New York, from February 5‑6, granting the Blackhawks a ten‑day break between January 31 and February 9. Single‑game tickets are expected to go on sale later this summer, with sales handled through Ticketmaster.

Across the season, the team will host 22 weekend games at the United Center, providing ample prime‑time opportunities for supporters.
