AIHL announces release of 2026 season schedule

---

The AIHL is pleased to announce the release of the 2026 season schedule!

The first puck will drop on Friday night, the 17th of April 2026, as ten teams will once again begin their quest for the Goodall Cup.

We are also excited to welcome back both the Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs, as AIHL hockey returns to the newly renovated Macquarie Ice Arena in 2026.

All teams will play a 30-game regular season consisting of 15 home games and 15 away games each. All 155 regular season games will also be brought to you live and exclusive on AIHL.TV.

The date, format and location of the 2026 AIHL Finals Series is yet to be determined, and a decision will not be made on this until early in the new year.

Tickets will soon go on sale through the teams, so keep your eyes out on socials for further ticketing and membership package announcements. Please also keep your eyes out for final game times as we draw closer to the season, as the schedule will soon be available directly from the AIHL website.
