Pre‑Season Action Returns to UBS Arena
The National Hockey League’s New York Islanders have released their 2026 preseason calendar, a six‑game slate that pits the club against familiar regional opponents. Two of those contests will be part of a rookie development camp, while the remaining four will be full‑scale preseason exhibitions.
All six matchups are against teams based in the Tri‑State area, ensuring local fans a chance to see their rivals up close. The games will be staged at the Islanders’ home venue, UBS Arena, as well as at the Northwell Health Ice Center, the practice facility where the camp games will take place.
Tickets for the arena‑based preseason games become available to the public on July 9. Fans can purchase them through the official site NewYorkIslanders.com or via Ticketmaster.com, the league’s authorized ticket partner. Group‑ticket packages and information on corporate suites are also outlined on the team’s website.
Members of the Islanders’ loyalty program receive early access to events such as the 2027 Honda NHL® All‑Star Weekend, adding extra value to season‑ticket packages. Premium club seats and suite rentals can be secured by calling 516‑517‑0640 or visiting IslandersSuites.com.
The rookie camp game at Northwell Health Ice Center will have its own ticketing timeline, with a priority presale list accessible through NewYorkIslanders.com/Camp. All proceeds from that contest will be donated to the Islanders Children’s Foundation, linking on‑ice activity with community support.
