About this schedule

This page lists every Nashville Predators game of the 2026-27 NHL regular season: 84 games in all, 42 at home and 42 away, running from Oct 1 to Apr 10. Home games are marked vs and road games at, and the score replaces the matchup once a game has been played, so the page is worth checking back on through the season.

Every start time is converted to your own timezone. The NHL publishes its schedule in US Eastern, which is why fans in the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe end up doing arithmetic before every game. Here that is done for you: a game that starts late on the league's calendar date but lands after midnight where you are is marked +1, and tapping any game shows the full local date, the arena's own start time, the venue and the broadcaster where one is listed.

To compare the Nashville Predators against the rest of the league — who has games in hand, who faces a congested week — the full NHL schedule grid puts all 32 teams on one screen, with the same colour coding and the same timezone handling.
