Are you wondering when the NJ Devils play this season? You don’t have to wait much longer.
The NHL has announced that it will release the full 2025–26 season schedule tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET.
This year’s schedule announcement is later than usual. Last season, the 2024–25 schedule dropped on July 2, just one day after free agency began.
Now, after one year and 14 days, we’re less than 24 hours away from seeing the full slate of games.
While the NHL has teased the opening night schedule, the Devils won’t be playing that night. Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
NHL 2025–26 Opening Night Tripleheader – Tuesday, Oct. 7
- 5:00 p.m. ET: #Blackhawks at #FlaPanthers
- 8:00 p.m. ET: #LetsGoPens at #NYR
- 10:30 p.m. ET: #GoAvsGo at #LAKings
Although the regular season schedule is still under wraps, the NHL has already released the Devils’ preseason schedule. The team will play seven games, three at the Prudential Center and four on the road.

During preseason, the Devils will face the Rangers and Islanders twice each, along with matchups against the Senators, Capitals, and Flyers.
The game against Ottawa will be held at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, home of the QMJHL’s Quebec Remparts. The arena seats 18,295 fans. That day, the Devils will split the squad, with one group facing the Senators in Quebec and the other hosting the Rangers at the Prudential Center.
Fans are eagerly awaiting tomorrow’s full schedule drop so they can start planning their NHL season.
Inquiries are now open for those interested in joining the team’s season ticket membership program, The Black and Red Membership.
While there are no international or outdoor games scheduled for the Devils this season, other teams will be playing in special events. The Rangers and Panthers will face off in the Winter Classic in Miami on January 2. The Bruins and Lightning will meet in a Stadium Series game in Tampa. Additionally, the Penguins and Predators will play a two-game series in Sweden.
So get ready, Devils fans, start planning those NJ Transit or PATH trips to the Prudential Center. The full schedule will be live in less than 24 hours.
