Prime Monday Night Hockey is back this fall with a national spotlight on Canada’s biggest hockey cities.
The 2025-26 season begins with a late afternoon game on Thanksgiving (Monday, October 13) when the Toronto Maple Leafs host the Detroit Red Wings at 4 p.m. ET before moving west for the second matchup of a doubleheader, with the Vancouver Canucks taking on the St. Louis Blues at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Canadian matchups take centre stage on multiple nights this season, including an all-Canadian tilt between Ottawa and Winnipeg on December 15, a primetime faceoff between Vancouver and Montreal on January 12, and a Battle of Alberta on March 30.
Prime Monday Night Hockey will also host a marquee Atlantic Division rivalry between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning on December 8.
