Flyers Kick Off Season Early | Philadelphia News

The Flyers are diving headfirst into the 2026-27 season with a historic September opener against the Penguins, followed by a Devils tilt the next day — the first time Philly plays in September ever. With an expanded 84-game slate (last seen in ’93-94) and a playoff buzz from their 2023 run, they’re primed for a wild ride. Expect fireworks against the Ducks amid Gauthier drama, plus grueling back-to-backs — 13 three-in-four nights, nine four-in-six nights. The season ends at home April 10, 2027, against Washington. Hockey’s back — and it’s starting sooner than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
