Ilves opens 2026–27 ticket sales on 31 August, unveils themed nights at Nokia Arena

Ticket sales for the 2026–27 Liiga regular season open at 12:00 on Monday 31 August, and Nokia Arena will host a lineup of themed home games this autumn.

The club previously released its 2026–27 Liiga schedule in June when it confirmed the home opener date and season details.

The team starts the campaign with a long road trip and returns for a home opener on Friday 25 September against KooKoo. On Sunday 27 September Ilves ry members are invited to a members' celebration. Every Tuesday home match will be marketed as Ten Tuesday. There will be a limited number of €10 tickets in price category 10, plus special offers in arena restaurants.

Highlights include a Halloween-themed game against KalPa on 31 October, with an afterparty at the Ilves Club; a student night versus Pelicans on 11 November; a family Superhero Kids Game against SaiPa on 15 November; and Ilves' 95th anniversary match against HIFK on 28 November.

The autumn schedule also brings a visit from Jokerit in October and the local derby with Tappara in November. The last home fixture before the Christmas break is scheduled for Thursday 17 December against KooKoo, after which the squad will travel to Switzerland for the traditional Spengler Cup. Full event programmes and ticket campaigns will be published on the club's channels ahead of each game, with spring-season themes to follow later in the autumn.
