The back-to-back Stanley Cup champions are coming home. The Florida Panthers open their 2026–27 home schedule against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, October 10 at 6:00 p.m. ET at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, kicking off a 42-game home slate in front of the loudest fans in hockey.
The celebration will be special from the first puck drop: fans can expect LED rally towels for everyone in the building as the Panthers mark another banner-worthy season opener. All eyes will be on the ice as the Cats begin their quest to keep the Cup in South Florida for a third straight year.
It’s also the start of a season packed with theme nights — 17 special celebrations have been announced for the 2026–27 campaign, giving fans plenty of reasons to pack the arena all winter long.
Hockey season is back, and there’s no better place to watch the champs than live at the Bank. See you there, Panthers territory.
