Flyers drop 2025-26 Schedule: Tough start, no Black Friday home game and must-watch matchups

The Flyers just dropped their full 2025-26 regular season schedule and it’s got a little bit of everything with a brutal start, a new era under Rick Tocchet, and a few revenge games with serious juice.

Phans of Philly – Philadelphia Flyers Travel Packages and Tailgates:

With every Philadelphia sports team schedule release, Phans of Philly drops their travel schedule shortly after. The Liberty Line has traveled with Phans of Philly to multiple events on the road and every damn time, they are somehow better than the last.

No matter the sports team, Phans of Philly has everything covered – from flights, hotels and transportation to the best tailgates and happy hours with thousands of other Philly fans.

Phans of Philly will have their full travel schedule for the Flyers available soon so make sure you stay up-to-date on everything right here. 

The Flyers season begins on the road

The Tocchet era officially begins Oct. 9 on the road in Sunrise, Florida against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers. While it’s not banner-raising night for Florida, the Flyers still have to open their season by trying to spoil the champs’ party.

They’ll get another crack at the Cats just four days later, this time at home, on Monday, Oct. 13 for the Flyers’ home opener at Xfinity Live Arena.

2025-26 Schedule for the Philadelphia Flyers:

No Black Friday Game in Philly?

For the first time since 2005 (in a non-COVID shortened season), the Flyers won’t have a Black Friday home game. Instead, they’re headed to Long Island to take on the Islanders. Across the street, the Eagles host the Bears at 3 p.m. at the Linc, so expect total chaos in South Philly anyway.

2025-26 Flyers Schedule Notes

• 14 back-to-back sets throughout the season.
• 19-day Olympic break from Feb. 6–24.
• Longest homestand: Six straight games from Dec. 1–13.
