SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Mammoth announced today their 2026-27 National Hockey League (NHL) regular season schedule, presented by SeatGeek. Each NHL team will play 84 games for the first time since 1993-94. Utah’s full schedule can be found attached (all times Mountain).

The Mammoth will begin the 2026-27 season on home ice against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, Oct. 1, before playing 13 of their next 18 games on the road. That span includes a five-game road trip from Oct. 3-10 as well as a season-long stretch of six consecutive road games from Oct. 29-Nov. 11.

Utah will return to the Delta Center to play five straight home games from Nov. 12-21, marking the team’s second-longest homestand of the season.

The Mammoth will play six consecutive contests on home ice from Jan. 23-Feb. 2.

Matchup Breakdown

As a result of the NHL’s expanded schedule, Utah will play four games against each of the other seven Central Division teams in 2026-27.

The Mammoth will also play three games against all eight members of the Pacific Division, and they will face each of the 16 Eastern Conference clubs twice.

Utah went at least .500 against all four divisions in 2025-26, finishing 14-8-2 against the Pacific and 13-11-2 against the Central while earning a 16-14-2 record against the Eastern Conference.

Taking It Outside

In addition to playing 41 home games at the Delta Center, Utah will host the Colorado Avalanche in the 2027 Winter Classic, which will be held at the University of Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium on Thursday, Dec. 31.

This will mark the NHL’s 18th Winter Classic and 47th total regular-season outdoor game, as well as the first outdoor game in Utah’s franchise history.

Tickets for the game are available via TicketMaster here, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

All-Star Weekend

This season will mark the return of the NHL All-Star Game and All-Star Skills, following two years of international breaks for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off and 2026 Winter Olympics.

The 2027 NHL All-Star Weekend will be played Feb. 5-6 at UBS Arena on Long Island, N.Y., as the New York Islanders host the event for the first time since 1983.

This year’s All-Star Game will consist of a five-team, international tournament played three-on-three, while the All-Star Skills will spotlight 10 players aged 25 or younger competing in eight different events.

Renewed Rivalry

The Mammoth will play three games against the Vegas Golden Knights, after the two teams met in the 2026 Western Conference First Round.

Utah will travel to T-Mobile Arena twice (Nov. 11 and Dec. 3), and Vegas will make its lone trip to the Delta Center on April 3.

Familiar Faces

Several former Mammoth players are set to return to the Delta Center for the first time in 2026-27, including defenseman Ian Cole (Oct. 1 vs. Chicago), defenseman Olli Määttä (Oct. 27 vs. Minnesota), forward JJ Peterka (Jan. 23 vs. Boston), forward Alexander Kerfoot (Jan. 31 vs. Nashville), and defenseman Sean Durzi (March 9 vs. NY Rangers).
