SUNRISE, Fla. – Together with the National Hockey League, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions Florida Panthers announced their remaining 2025-26 regular season schedule on Wednesday.
As we learned earlier, the Panthers open the season Oct. 7 at 5:00 p.m. ET on home ice against the Chicago Blackhawks – a night that will feature the raising of their second Stanley Cup banner at Amerant Bank Arena.

After concluding their three-game homestand, the Panthers will hit the road for a five-game trip, beginning against the Philadelphia Flyers and ending against the Boston Bruins – where Panthers forward Brad Marchand will return to TD Garden for the first time since being traded this past March.
From Nov. 13 to Dec. 7, the Panthers will play 11 of 12 games at Amerant Bank Arena.
Florida’s first rematch with the Edmonton Oilers comes on Nov. 22 at 7:00 p.m. ET, before heading to Edmonton Mar. 19.
The Panthers knocked off the Oilers in a memorable seven-game Stanley Cup Final series during the 2023-24 season – then followed it up by winning in six games last season.
Arguably the biggest game on the schedule comes on Jan. 2, when the Panthers and New York Rangers drop the puck at loanDepot park – home of MLB’s Miami Marlins – in the 2026 Winter Classic.
It will be the first time the Winter Classic is held in South Florida – with the Tampa Bay Lightning set to host a Stadium Series game in February.
There will be a 20-day break in February due to NHL players participating in the Winter Olympics in Italy.
