The LA Kings are turning their 60th anniversary season into a full-season showcase, and the 2026-27 calendar at Crypto.com Arena is packed with theme nights, giveaways and collectible items aimed squarely at the home crowd.
The celebration opens Oct. 6, when the Kings host the Florida Panthers in their regular-season home opener. Every fan in the building will leave with a 60th Anniversary Retro Hockey Goalie Mask, setting the tone for a season built around nostalgia and limited-edition keepsakes.
From there, the schedule rolls into a long list of special nights that mix team tradition, pop culture and holiday-themed promotions. The Kings announced Tuesday that the slate includes Día de Muertos, Hockey Fights Cancer, Pride Night, Marvel Night, ELF Night, Hello Kitty Night, Scooby-Doo Night, Star Wars Night and more.
One of the first standout dates comes Oct. 29 against the Ottawa Senators, when the team will stage Día de Muertos, presented by Delta Air Lines. Fans will receive a sugar skull neck gaiter, and a special ticket package will include an exclusive wearable.
The Kings’ annual Hockey Fights Cancer night is set for Nov. 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. That evening comes with a poster card for fans, plus a ticket package that includes a sherpa blanket and donation kickback.
The promotional calendar keeps building from there. On Nov. 14 against the Calgary Flames, the Kings will host Kids Night and hand out Puck-E-Cheese plush toys to the first 5,000 kids. Then on Dec. 5 against the Utah Mammoth, Kids Night with Peanuts will feature a Woodstock bobblehead for the first 10,000 fans.
Dec. 9 against the San Jose Sharks brings Marvel Night, complete with a comic book poster and a Dr. Doom x Adrian Kempe bobblehead available through a special ticket package. Three nights later, on Dec. 12 against Vancouver, the Kings will go with ELF Night, offering an Elf hat giveaway and a Buddy the Elf plushie option.
The second half of the schedule is just as loaded. Pride Night is set for Jan. 2, followed by Hello Kitty Night on Jan. 19, Scooby-Doo Night on March 3, Country Night on March 13, Barbie Game Day on March 16 and Star Wars Night on April 3.
Between specialty wearables, blankets, plush toys, bobbleheads and other collectibles, the Kings are treating the 60th anniversary season as more than a look back. They’re giving fans a reason to keep showing up all year long.
