The Chicago Blackhawks have released their promotional schedule for the 2026-27 season. The home schedule at the United Center features a mix of giveaways, community nights, and special game themes. Fans can look forward to the home opener on October 6 against the St. Louis Blues, where the first 20,000 attendees receive a magnet schedule.
A major highlight is the Centennial Game scheduled for November 17 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. This event marks 100 years since the franchise played its first NHL game. The team also confirmed the return of the youth-focused Best Day Ever series on three select Sunday matchups throughout the season.
Collectors can mark their calendars for a new bobblehead giveaway series. Featured players include Spencer Knight, Frank Nazar, Connor Bedard, and Alex Vlasic. These items are available to the first 8,000 fans on specific game nights. Other promotional items include a United Center ornament, a duffle bag, a purple scarf for the Hockey Fights Cancer game, and a green hat for the St. Patrick’s Day event.
Community initiatives remain a central part of the schedule. The team will host Military Appreciation, Native American Heritage, and Pride nights. The season concludes with Fan Appreciation night on April 10 against the Seattle Kraken.
