The Winnipeg Jets now know exactly how their 2026-27 wardrobe will unfold at home, and the lineup includes a mix of familiar staples, a fresh league-wide addition and one special outdoor look.
Winnipeg released its home jersey schedule Tuesday morning, mapping out when it will wear its primary home sweater, heritage sweater, newly introduced Hometown Remix uniform and a dedicated Heritage Classic design. The club will skate out in four different looks at Canada Life Centre and Princess Auto Stadium this season.
The primary home sweater remains the workhorse. The Jets will wear it in 26 of their 42 home games, starting with the home opener against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 2 and ending with the regular-season finale against the Vancouver Canucks on April 9.
The heritage sweater is set for seven home dates. Winnipeg will break it out three times in October, against Colorado on Oct.
7, Anaheim on Oct. 9 and Minnesota on Oct. 13, before using it again against Anaheim on Jan. 16.
It will return for a March run that includes Detroit on March 9, Toronto on March 11 and Nashville on March 13.
A new look is joining the mix this season as well. All 32 NHL clubs will take part in the league’s Hometown Remix uniform program, which is meant to highlight the cities, fans and local cultures of each market.
Winnipeg will wear its Hometown Remix sweater eight times, beginning Nov. 17 against the Ottawa Senators. The other dates are Nov. 21 against Vegas, Nov. 23 against Utah, Dec. 10 against Chicago, Jan. 19 against Minnesota, Jan. 21 against the New York Rangers, March 23 against St.
Louis and March 25 against Colorado.
Then there is the outdoor game. The Jets will have a special Heritage Classic sweater for their Oct. 25 matchup with the Montreal Canadiens at Princess Auto Stadium. That game counts as one of Winnipeg’s 42 home contests, so the club will play 41 regular-season games at Canada Life Centre and one outside.
It will be Winnipeg’s third outdoor regular-season game, following the 2016 Heritage Classic against Edmonton at Investors Group Field and the 2019 Heritage Classic against Calgary at Mosaic Stadium in Regina.
The team’s Hometown Remix and Heritage Classic designs have not yet been unveiled. The away sweaters will handle the remaining 42 road games.

Jets Fans Are Getting More Than A New Look This Season

The home opener comes Oct. 2 against the Boston Bruins, giving fans their first look at the upgraded setup right away.
There is also a heavy promotional push attached to the new season, with a 48-hour October Fan Sale, a record number of giveaway games and new specialty ticket offers that include exclusive merchandise.

Hurricanes Suddenly Face A Costly Question In Latest NHL Rumor Wave
Connor Hellebuycks name surfacing in the latest round of NHL chatter naturally lands with Winnipeg fans, even if the report is still firmly in rumor territory. The Jets have spent years building around elite goaltending, and any suggestion that a Hellebuyck move could even be part of league-wide discussion is enough to make the rest of the conversation feel bigger than a single trade call.
What makes the noise worth watching is how many moving parts sit around it, from other teams kicking around packages to the reality that Winnipeg would not be dealing from a position of comfort. The rumor mill has tied the Jets to a few different possibilities, but the real question is whether the goaltending market itself would cooperate, and that is where this story still has room to turn.
