How often each opponent appears, and where the games are played. The NHL's schedule formula weights divisional matchups heaviest, so the top of this list is where the rivalries are.
This page lists every Montréal Canadiens game of the 2026-27 NHL regular season: 84 games in all, 42 at home and 42 away, running from Sep 29 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 Montréal Canadiens 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.
The Montréal Canadiens open the 2026-27 regular season on Sep 29, 2026, at Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. Start times on this page are shown in your own timezone.
84 regular-season games — 42 at home and 42 on the road. The NHL moved to an 84-game regular season from 2026-27 under the current collective bargaining agreement, up from 82.
5 straight home games, from Dec 2 to Dec 10. The longest road trip is 4 games, from Oct 23 to Oct 29.
They already are. This page detects your timezone and converts every start time to it, and you can override the detection with the "Times in" control. Where a game falls on the following day where you are — common in the UK and Europe — the time carries a +1 mark, and tapping a game shows the full date and the arena's own local time.
Boston Bruins, 4 times — 2 at home and 2 away. Divisional opponents are met most often under the NHL's schedule formula.
