Calgary Flames Announce Preseason Schedule

The Calgary Flames announced their preseason schedule for 2026-27, featuring four games against Western Conference opponents.

What's the schedule?

The Flames will host the Seattle Kraken on September 20 and the Vancouver Canucks on September 22.

They will then visit the Kraken on September 24 and face their provincial rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, on September 26.

Why the reduced schedule?

The NHL's expansion to an 84-game regular season schedule has resulted in a reduced preseason slate for all teams.

The Flames will split their exhibition schedule evenly between home and road games.

As of the end of the previous season, the Calgary Flames stood 14th in the Western Conference with a 34-39 record, on a W1 streak.

What comes next?

The abbreviated preseason will provide the Flames with a limited opportunity to evaluate prospects and prepare for the new season.

The team will look to build on their previous performance and make a strong start to the 2026-27 season.

The preseason schedule will be an important test for the Flames as they face tough opponents in the Kraken and Oilers.

The Flames will be looking to make a push for the playoffs in the upcoming season.

And with a new season comes new opportunities for the team to make a strong impression.

But the Flames will need to be at their best if they are to succeed in the competitive Western Conference.

So the preseason schedule will be an important chance for the team to fine-tune their game.

The Flames' preseason schedule is as follows: September 20 vs. Seattle Kraken, September 22 vs. Vancouver Canucks, September 24 at Seattle Kraken, and September 26 at Edmonton Oilers.
