The full fixture list for the 2026/27 Elite League season and Challenge Cup group games has been confirmed.

The 27th Elite League game - which is not included on the 26-game Season Ticket - will be the match against Dundee Stars on Wednesday 17th March.

After last year's trial, we have listened to feedback from supporters and midweek and Friday night games will revert back to a 19:30 face-off.

Saturday night matches, as is tradition, will face-off at 19:00 and the majority of Sunday afternoon matches will continue to face-off at 16:00.

There are a couple of exceptions because of arena events which means the game against Guildford Flames on Sunday 15th November will face-off at 15:00 and the visit of Cardiff Devils on Sunday 3rd January will face-off at 17:00.

The ISU Synchronized Skating World Championships 2027 is taking place at the Motorpoint Arena from 26th March to 4th April, so there is no home ice availability for the final two weekends of the regular-season.

Family Tickets will be available again for selected games this season, offering great value for families looking to enjoy the match together at a reduced cost.

Our first competitive home game of 2026/27 will see Manchester Storm visit the Motorpoint Arena as we begin the defence of the Challenge Cup on Saturday 12th September (19:00 face-off).

Manchester also come to the Motorpoint Arena for the first home Elite League game of the season, which takes place on Saturday 26th September (19:00).

The first visit of rivals Sheffield Steelers to Nottingham in the 2026/27 campaign will be for Challenge Cup action on Saturday 17th October (19:00).

Another key date in the calendar for the #PanthersNation is the double-header in Belfast and this season we will face the Giants in Northern Ireland on Saturday 21st November (19:00) and Sunday 22nd November (17:00).

The festive season see our traditional match-ups against Sheffield Steelers and Coventry Blaze.

Panthers will travel up the M1 to face Sheffield on Boxing Day (Saturday 26th December) with a 16:00 face-off.

The two sides will meet again at the Motorpoint Arena the following day, Sunday 27th December (16:00 face-off).

The back-to-back games over new year will see Panthers host the Blaze on New Year's Eve (Thursday 31st December) at 16:00.

Part two of the double-header will be in the Skydome in Coventry on New Year's Day (Friday 1st January) at 18:00.
