Flames Schedule December 2026: 13 Games, Six Straight on the Road

The Calgary Flames play 13 games in December 2026, six of them at the Scotiabank Saddledome, according to the National Hockey League (NHL) club schedule. The month opens Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time (MT), which is 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), at Detroit, and ends Thursday, Dec. 31, at home against Winnipeg.

The source is the NHL’s club schedule feed for Calgary, read Nov. 12, 2026. It gives every start in UTC, so we converted the times to MT, which is Calgary time, and ET, and worked out the weekdays. Canadian TV is the first channel column and the U.S. listing the second. The feed lists broadcasters as of that date, and they can change. A one-page printable follows the table.

Flames December 2026 game times with Sportsnet and U.S. TV

Every game lists a Sportsnet channel in Canada: Sportsnet West, Sportsnet One or Sportsnet, by our count from the feed. Télé-Diffuseurs Associés (TVA) Sports is listed for the Dec. 5 game against Washington, and TSN3 for the Dec. 31 game against Winnipeg. In the U.S. column, the market is the one the feed names, “Regional channel” is a local or team outlet the feed lists under a short code, and “None listed” means the feed shows no U.S. broadcaster.
