The Florida Panthers are getting closer to hitting the ice for the coming season and, on Monday, the team announced which themed nights will be celebrated.

The Panthers will have a bundle of theme nights throughout the 2026-27 NHL season, kicking things off on Opening Night against the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 10.

That will be Florida’s first home game, but its fifth of the new season: The Panthers open on Sept. 29 against the newly-crowned Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh.

The Panthers will take part in five Opening Nights — including their own. Florida will play home openers at Carolina, San Jose, Anaheim, and Los Angeles before heading back to Sunrise.

The team will bring back a number of familiar theme nights including Vamos Gatos, Pink in the Rink, Star Wars, Military Appreciation, Hockey Fights Cancer, and Pride night.

Florida will also bring back 90s Night, and will have a special yet-to-be announced celebration on March 2.

Single game tickets will go on sale to season-ticket holders on Aug. 11, with the second sale going to ‘93 Society subscribers on Aug. 12. 

All tickets go on sale to the general public on Aug. 13.
