The Top Edmonton Oilers Road Trips and Home Games for 2026-27

Few fan bases in professional hockey travel like Edmonton Oilers supporters. Whether it's a Battle of Alberta night at Rogers Place against the Calgary Flames, a Boxing-week Utah Mammoth Two-Games-One-Weekend cluster, or a road trip through the California cities, the New York-area arenas, or the Florida sunshine, the Oilers travel scene is one of the most dedicated in Canadian professional sports. This ultimate guide covers every home and away game worth planning around for the 2026-27 season, with dates, opponents, rivalry angles, and Elite Sports Tours package recommendations for each trip.

The guide is broken into two sections. The first covers the best Edmonton Oilers home games at Rogers Place, from the Vancouver Canucks home opener on September 29 through the two Two-Games-One-Weekend clusters featuring Utah Mammoth-Anaheim Ducks (December 19-20) and St. Louis Blues-Pittsburgh Penguins (February 12-13). The second covers the best Edmonton Oilers road trips across the NHL, including four distinct multi-city trip clusters (the California Road Trip, New York Road Trip, Florida Road Trip, and Ottawa-Montreal Road Trip) plus fifteen individual away games featuring visits to Vegas, Toronto, Detroit, and the two Battle of Alberta rematches at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. Every game listed in this guide is available as a bundled ticket, hotel, and flight package through Elite Sports Tours Edmonton Oilers Travel Packages.

Whether you're a lifelong Oilers supporter following the team city to city, an Edmonton-area fan planning the best Oilers games and home dates of the season, or a hockey traveler looking to combine a Rogers Place game with a weekend exploring Edmonton, this is the definitive planning resource. Book early on the marquee dates (the two Battle of Alberta road trips to Calgary, the Montreal Canadiens home visit, the two Two-Games-One-Weekend clusters, and the multi-city road-trip clusters) because these are the highest-demand tickets on the entire Oilers calendar.

Why Following the Edmonton Oilers Is One of Hockey's Great Fan Experiences

The Edmonton Oilers are one of the most historically successful franchises in NHL history, with five Stanley Cup championships (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1990) built on the Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier dynasty of the 1980s. The Oilers produced Gretzky, Messier, Jari Kurri, Paul Coffey, Grant Fuhr, and Glenn Anderson, and the 1984-1988 run remains one of the great dynasty stretches in professional sports. The modern Oilers are anchored by captain Connor McDavid (widely considered the best hockey player in the world), Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Evan Bouchard. The 2026-27 season carries significant weight because Edmonton reached back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals in 2024 and 2025, losing both series to the Florida Panthers, and the McDavid-Draisaitl core is entering another championship-window season with heightened Stanley Cup expectations.

Rogers Place in the downtown ICE District opened in September 2016 as the modern anchor of downtown Edmonton's revitalization, and the arena has quickly established itself as one of the loudest home crowds in the NHL. The building seats 18,500 for hockey and hosts the Oilers, the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League, and dozens of major concerts throughout the year. Rogers Place sits at the corner of 104 Avenue and 102 Street NW, directly next to the JW Marriott Edmonton, and connects to the Edmonton LRT MacEwan station. The atmosphere on a Battle of Alberta Wednesday night against Calgary, a Habs West Coast Swing visit against Montreal, or a McDavid home game against any Original Six opponent is one of the definitive hockey experiences in Western Canada.

The Oilers travel base is one of the most dedicated in Canadian hockey. Edmonton-area fan clubs travel to every western Canadian road game against the Flames, Canucks, and Jets, and the Oilers road contingent turns out in force for California trips, Vegas visits, and Battle of Alberta encounters at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. Whether you're following the club to Vancouver for the season-opening road game, to New York for the East Coast three-game trip, or to Montreal for the Battle of Quebec visit, you'll find yourself sitting among a strong contingent of fellow Oilers supporters in every visiting section.

On Sunday, December 20, the Anaheim Ducks travel to Rogers Place for a Sunday-afternoon or evening matchup. Two Oilers home games in two calendar days at Rogers Place, without needing to change hotels or venues.

The Mammoth-Oilers Saturday-night matchup is one of the more compelling early-Central Division rivalries of the 2026-27 season. The Utah Mammoth franchise relocated from Arizona in 2024 and rebranded for the 2026-27 season, and the young roster (built around Clayton Keller, Logan Cooley, and Dylan Guenther) produces one of the more entertaining visiting offenses.

The Ducks-Oilers Sunday matchup is a Pacific Division crossover with a rebuilding Anaheim roster that includes Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, and Trevor Zegras.

January 17, 2027 - Winnipeg Jets (Canadian Rivalry)

Sunday, January 17 brings the Winnipeg Jets to Rogers Place for a Canadian-team Sunday matchup. Winnipeg-Edmonton is one of the natural Western Canadian rivalries, and Connor Hellebuyck, Kyle Connor, and the Jets roster produce one of the more competitive visiting rosters of the winter.

The Penguins-Oilers Saturday-night matchup is one of the marquee national broadcasts of the winter, with Sidney Crosby facing Connor McDavid in the only Penguins visit of the season. Crosby (three Stanley Cups: 2009, 2016, 2017) and McDavid represent two of the greatest centers of the modern NHL era, and every Crosby-vs-McDavid matchup carries additional Hockey Night in Canada broadcast weight.

April 5, 2027 - Calgary Flames (Battle of Alberta Season Closer)

Monday, April 5 brings the Calgary Flames to Rogers Place for the final Battle of Alberta home game of the 2026-27 season, one of the most anticipated tickets on the entire Oilers home schedule. The Battle of Alberta is one of the most historic rivalries in the NHL, dating to the two-team Alberta era of the 1980s when the Oilers won five Stanley Cups and the Flames won one, and the modern rivalry between McDavid and the Flames young core produces one of the loudest home crowds of the year at Rogers Place.

Late-season Battle of Alberta games typically carry heavy Pacific Division playoff-seeding weight, and the April 5 date puts this game in the final week of the regular season with maximum implications for both clubs. Book the trip as a three or four-night stay downtown and treat the Battle of Alberta as the anchor of an entire Edmonton weekend.

The Lightning leg on Thursday closes at Benchmark International Arena in downtown Tampa's Water Street district.

Our recommended Rogers Place hotels for an Oilers weekend include the JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District (the modern flagship directly adjacent to Rogers Place, opened in 2019 as part of the ICE District development), the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald (the 1915 historic railway hotel on Jasper Avenue overlooking the North Saskatchewan River Valley), the Sutton Place Hotel Edmonton (Jasper Avenue historic property), the Westin Edmonton (downtown business district), the Delta Hotels Edmonton Downtown, the Union Bank Inn (boutique 1930s heritage property), the Alt Hotel Edmonton, the Hyatt Place Edmonton West, and Le Germain Edmonton (Jasper Avenue boutique). For fans on a value budget, the Chateau Louis Hotel and Conference Centre, the Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel, and the Days Inn Edmonton Downtown all offer more reasonable rates within short walking or LRT range of Rogers Place.

Old Strathcona (the historic neighborhood south of the North Saskatchewan River along Whyte Avenue) is a great alternate base for fans who want a more independent, arts-and-restaurant neighborhood feel over the modern downtown high-rise setting. Old Strathcona is a 15-minute drive or LRT ride to Rogers Place, and the neighborhood offers the historic Princess Theatre, the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market, and dozens of independent restaurants and coffee shops along Whyte Avenue.

The ICE District (the modern downtown Edmonton development anchored by Rogers Place, the JW Marriott, and the 66-floor Stantec Tower, the tallest building in Alberta) hosts Ford Hall (the modern pre-game and post-game entertainment plaza with restaurants, bars, and the giant outdoor Ford Hall screen), and the Rogers Place pedway network connects Rogers Place to nearby hotels via a heated indoor pedestrian system, particularly valuable in Edmonton January and February when outdoor temperatures drop below freezing. A game-day afternoon walking the ICE District pairs well with a Rogers Place evening game.

West Edmonton Mall. West Edmonton Mall (the 5.3-million-square-foot mega-mall on the west side of the city, once the largest shopping mall in the world and still one of the largest indoor destinations in North America) hosts over 800 stores, the World Waterpark, Galaxyland indoor amusement park, an ice rink, a mini-golf course, and a full-scale replica of the Santa Maria ship in the "Deep Sea Adventure" attraction. A morning or afternoon at West Edmonton Mall works particularly well as a family activity between Oilers games, with the Fantasyland Hotel offering themed rooms on the property.

Fort Edmonton Park and the historic townsite. Fort Edmonton Park (the 158-acre living-history museum on the North Saskatchewan River, the largest living-history museum in Canada) preserves four historic Edmonton eras from the original 1846 Hudson's Bay Company Fort through the 1885 townsite, the 1905 provincial capital era, and the 1920s post-World War I neighborhood. Steam-train rides, working blacksmith shops, and 1920s-era buildings all make Fort Edmonton Park one of the definitive Edmonton family attractions.

The North Saskatchewan River Valley. The North Saskatchewan River Valley (the 22-square-mile urban parkland running through the middle of Edmonton, the largest urban parkland in North America and 22 times the size of Central Park in New York) offers walking and cycling paths along both banks of the river, the historic High Level Bridge crossing, and the Muttart Conservatory (the four-pyramid indoor botanical garden on the south side of downtown). A morning walk or run along the river valley is one of the definitive Edmonton experiences, particularly in the fall foliage window of September and October.

The Edmonton restaurant scene. RGE RD (the Blair Lebsack modern Canadian flagship at 10643 123 Street NW, one of the great farm-to-table Canadian restaurants), Corso 32 (the Daniel Costa Italian institution at 10345 Jasper Avenue), Bar Bricco (Costa's sister wine bar next door), Uccellino (Costa's third Italian concept), the Marc (French bistro at 9940 106 Street NW), Duchess Bake Shop (the historic 124 Street French patisserie), NongBu Korean Eatery (Whyte Avenue Korean), Dadeo (the historic Cajun restaurant on 99 Street), Otto Food and Drink (the sausage-focused Old Strathcona standout), Blue Plate Diner (the historic comfort-food institution downtown), and the Duchess Provisions bakery and shop all give visitors an Edmonton culinary experience that stands with any Canadian city. Book two to three weeks in advance for the top-tier dinner reservations.

Old Strathcona and Whyte Avenue. Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona (the historic neighborhood south of the North Saskatchewan River, home to the University of Alberta and the arts-and-restaurant strip) hosts dozens of independent restaurants, the historic 1935 Princess Theatre (still operating as a first-run cinema), the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market (Saturday mornings year-round), and the Fringe Theatre Festival grounds. Old Strathcona works particularly well as a Saturday-morning or Sunday-morning stop between Oilers commitments, with the LRT connecting Whyte Avenue to Rogers Place via the University station.

The Alberta Legislature and Government Centre. The Alberta Legislature Building (the historic Beaux-Arts provincial capitol at 10800 97 Avenue NW, opened in 1913 as the provincial seat of government) sits on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River with panoramic downtown Edmonton views and free public tours available most weekdays. The grounds are open year-round, and the winter light display around the reflecting pools makes for a great December or January photo stop.

Elk Island National Park day trip. Elk Island National Park (the 194-square-kilometer wildlife park 40 minutes east of Edmonton along Highway 16, one of the great Canadian wildlife-viewing destinations) hosts wild plains bison and wood bison herds, a national historic site for bison conservation, and the largest dark-sky preserve in North America. A Sunday-morning drive to Elk Island for a bison viewing before an evening Oilers home game or a Saturday-morning departure from a Friday-night game trip both work well.
