"Hockey Fans, Get Ready: NHL Announces Historic 84-Game Schedule The National Hockey League (NHL) has unveiled its highly anticipated 2026-27 schedule, marking a significant shift in the league's format. For the first time in over three decades, teams will face off in 84 regular-season games, a boost from the current 82-game slate. This change is reminiscent of the 1993-94 season, when the NHL also featured an 84-game schedule.
