Single-game tickets for the Calgary Flames’ 2026-27 Saddledome Farewell Season are now on sale, opening the door for fans to lock in seats for the final year of hockey at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
That season will bring the curtain down on a building that has stood at the center of Calgary for more than four decades. Since opening in 1983, the Saddledome has housed memorable games, major rivalries and plenty of the moments that have shaped Flames history.
The organization is framing the year as more than a goodbye. It’s a chance to thank the fan base and celebrate what the building has meant to the city.
As Robert Hayes, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation President and CEO, said: “This is an incredibly meaningful season for our organization, our fans and our city. For generations of Calgarians, the Scotiabank Saddledome has been more than a place to watch hockey, it has been where memories have been made and shared,” said Robert Hayes, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation President and CEO.
“This season is our opportunity to say thank you and celebrate everything the ’Dome has meant to Calgary, while creating one more season of unforgettable moments together.”
There will be 44 chances for the C of Red to gather under the familiar roof during the Farewell Season, with the schedule packed with theme nights, special celebrations and fan experiences. Fans will also get one last look at every NHL opponent at the Saddledome.
The calendar starts early. The Next Gen Showcase against the Edmonton Oilers is set for Monday, Sept.
- The Flames then begin the farewell run with a preseason game against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday, Sept. 20, before opening the 2026-27 regular season at home against Seattle on Thursday, Oct.
A few of the marquee dates stand out already. The Flames will host the Oilers on March 3 and March 23 in the Battle of Alberta, and the defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes will make their only appearance at the Saddledome on Sunday, Oct. 18.
With demand expected to be high all season, the Flames are urging fans not to wait. Along with single-game tickets, season ticket memberships remain available for the full Farewell Season, subject to availability. Multi-game packs are also on offer, and Club Red Membership is being positioned as the best way to stay plugged in for future ticket releases, special events and farewell celebrations.

Jonathan Huberdeau's Contract Still Looms Over Calgary's Biggest Cap Question
Jonathan Huberdeaus deal is still one of the biggest hurdles hanging over Calgarys cap picture, and it is only getting harder to ignore as the league keeps resetting the market upward. With salaries climbing and other major contracts around the NHL being used as reference points, the Flames are stuck with a premium price tag on a player whose production has not matched the money, leaving the front office with a lingering problem that shapes every larger roster conversation.
The timing matters, too, because teams around the league are constantly looking for flexibility while balancing their own expensive core pieces. Calgary can study how other clubs navigate hefty contracts and cap pressure, but Huberdeau remains a difficult case for a team trying to build around a limited number of premium assets. Even as the broader market keeps shifting, the Flames still have to find a path through the same unresolved question at the center of their cap outlook. [Read more 🡒]
Flames Rebuild Could Create An Unexpected Veteran Opportunity
With Calgary expected to keep leaning into its rebuild in the 2026-27 season, the roster picture is starting to look more and more like a youth movement. Names such as Matvei Gridin, Zayne Parekh, Hunter Brzustewicz, Matt Coronato, Connor Zary and imon Nemec point to a team trying to build around speed, upside and long-term growth rather than quick fixes.
Even so, there may still be a place for a short-term veteran add if the right fit presents itself. The idea would be to bring in an experienced forward on a tryout or a manageable deal, give that player a stabilizing role in the room and on the ice, then decide later whether he can help the club for the long haul or become a trade asset before the 2027 deadline.

Flames Rebuild Debate Just Got More Frustrating For Calgary Fans
The rebuild has been moving along in the broad, familiar way for Calgary: no playoff berth since 2022, established players moved out for draft capital, and a prospect base that now includes names such as Zayne Parekh and Carson Carels. The idea, at least on paper, is to reset the roster and give the organization a real path back to contention, even if the present has looked more like patience than payoff.
A recent poll from The Athletic only added to the sense that the road back is long, with Flames fans and neutral observers alike ranking Calgary among the NHL teams least likely to lift a Stanley Cup in the next decade. The timing stings even more because the conversation around this postseason has again turned to the leagues playoff format, a reminder that in the NHL, getting in is one thing and being built to matter once the games begin is something else entirely.
