    The Oilers in brief

    The Edmonton Oilers play home games at Rogers Place in downtown Edmonton's Ice District, and the NHL regular season runs from early October to mid-April. Edmonton plays in the Western Conference's Pacific Division.

    The club began in 1972–73 as a founding member of the World Hockey Association (WHA, a rival major league of the 1970s), playing its first season as the Alberta Oilers, and joined the NHL in 1979–80. Within five years it was the league's dominant team, winning the Stanley Cup in 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1990. Edmonton has since reached the Final three more times, losing to Carolina in 2006 and to the Florida Panthers in both 2024 and 2025.

    Eight numbers are retired, including Wayne Gretzky's 99, Mark Messier's 11, Jari Kurri's 17, Paul Coffey's 7 and Grant Fuhr's 31. The defining rivalry is the Battle of Alberta with the Calgary Flames, and the back-to-back Finals have given the Panthers series a new edge.

    How Rogers Place is laid out

    Rogers Place opened on September 8, 2016, at 10220 104 Avenue NW, replacing Northlands Coliseum (later Rexall Place), the Oilers' home from 1974 to 2016. Sources list hockey capacity at 18,347 (the arena's Wikipedia entry) or 18,641 (the team's), and the arena's center-hung scoreboard was the largest in the NHL when it opened.

    • Lower bowl (sections 101–134): the seats closest to the ice, wrapping all the way around the rink.
    • Loge level: premium loge boxes and club areas such as the Sportsnet Club, between the two bowls, with in-seat service.
    • Upper bowl (sections 201–234): about 12 rows per section, topped by a drink rail. Most sections are entered from the back row, so you walk down to your seat.
    • Sky Lounge: premium seating at the top of the building.

    Ford Hall, the arena's atrium, is the main gathering space; a pedestrian portal at 103 Avenue and 103 Street leads straight into it.

    Best seats for an Oilers game

    Center ice in the lower bowl

    The lower-bowl sideline sections between the blue lines are the best hockey seats in the building. As in most NHL rinks, row 10 and up keeps the glass and the benches out of your line of sight while staying close enough to hear the play.

    The shoot-twice end

    One widely used seating guide places the Oilers' shoot-twice end (the net Edmonton attacks in the first and third periods) below upper-bowl sections 210–213, with the visitors shooting twice at the end near section 224. Confirm the end on the listing before you pay a premium for it, and remember that end seats show less of the far net.

    Loge and Sky Lounge

    The loge level suits groups who want table seating and service along with a good height for reading plays. It is priced as a hospitality experience, so compare it with a lower-bowl sideline seat first.

    The upper bowl

    With about 12 rows per section, the upper bowl is short, so even the back row is not far from the front. The sideline sections give a clean full-ice view; the front rows are the best choice when available, and the back-row entrances make them easy to reach.

    When the Oilers play and what sells first

    NHL preseason games are in late September. The 82-game regular season, 41 games at home, runs from early October to mid-April, and the playoffs run from mid-April into June.

    • The Battle of Alberta: games against Calgary are the most demanded dates of the season.
    • Recent Final and playoff opponents: the Florida Panthers, the Dallas Stars (beaten by Edmonton in the 2024 and 2025 Western Conference Finals) and Pacific Division rivals such as the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings.
    • Weekends and holidays: Saturday nights and the holiday weeks draw the biggest crowds.
    • Playoff dates: home playoff tickets are scarce, and resale prices move sharply with each game of a series.

    Weeknight games against Eastern Conference teams usually offer the most seat choice. Every order is backed by a 100% guarantee.

    Getting downtown and gameday basics

    Edmonton's LRT stops right at the arena: MacEwan station on the Metro Line sits on the north side, and Explore Edmonton counts five LRT stations and more than 40 bus routes within walking distance. Fans can enter through the Ford Hall pedways, the 104 Avenue entrances or the LRT entrance on the north side. Drivers can prebook spots, including in the ICE District Central Parkade.

    As of the arena's current Oilers event guide, bags and purses may be no larger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches and are inspected, and Ford Hall and fan park gates open an hour before puck drop. Tickets are mobile through Ticketmaster, which requires multi-factor sign-in, so load your tickets before you reach security. Check the Rogers Place gameday guide before you go.

    During playoff runs the club has run road-game watch parties at Rogers Place. The restaurants around 104 Avenue get busy early on game nights, so book ahead.

    Moments that shaped Oil Country

    On August 9, 1988, the Oilers traded Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings, still one of the most talked-about trades in sports. Edmonton won its fifth Cup two years later without him.

    The Battle of Alberta has produced its own folklore. In Game 7 of the 1986 second round, a puck put into the Edmonton net by Oilers rookie Steve Smith, on his birthday, sent Calgary through. Edmonton evened the ledger in the 2022 second round, beating the Flames in five games.

    The Oilers also helped invent the modern outdoor game. On November 22, 2003, they hosted the Heritage Classic against Montreal, the NHL's first regular-season outdoor game, and on October 29, 2023, they beat Calgary 5–2 at Commonwealth Stadium before 55,411 fans in the first outdoor Battle of Alberta. Rogers Place itself served as a hub for the 2020 playoffs and hosted Final games in 2024 and 2025.
