The Nashville Predators open the 82-game regular season on Oct. 9 against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Bridgestone Arena.

Among the highlights on the 2025-26 schedule: a two-game series with the Pittsburgh Penguins in November at Stockholm, Sweden, a three-week Olympic break in February 2026 and seven of the first 11 games at home.

Nashville is looking for a bounce back season following a disappointing 2024-25 season despite numerous high-priced additions.
