Blues Begin Season on the Road

The St. Louis Blues are set to commence their 2026-27 regular-season schedule with a three-game road trip. This initial stretch will feature contests against their Central Division rivals. The season opener is slated for October 2 in Dallas, where the Blues will face the Stars.

Following their game in Dallas, the team will travel to play the Colorado Avalanche on October 3. Their road trip concludes with a matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks on October 6.

Home Opener and Expanded Schedule

The Blues will then return to Enterprise Center for their home opener on October 8, hosting the San Jose Sharks. This season marks a change for the NHL, as the schedule expands from 82 games to 84 games for the first time.

The expanded schedule for the 2026-27 season includes two additional division games. The Blues are scheduled to play 24 games against teams from the Pacific Division. Additionally, they will engage in a home-and-home series with every team in the Eastern Conference.

Ticket Information for the Season

Fans interested in securing tickets for all home games during the 2026-27 season can do so through full season tickets, which are currently available. Deposits for half-season and mini-plan packages are also being accepted. The specific on-sale date for single-game tickets will be announced at a later time.

Across the league, the Nashville Predators have also released their full 84-game schedule for the 2026-27 season. Their season begins on October 1, with a home game against the Minnesota Wild at Bridgestone Arena. The Predators will then host the Dallas Stars on October 3.
