Oilers Schedule December 2026: 13 Games, Eight on the Road

The Edmonton Oilers play 13 games in December 2026, eight of them away from Rogers Place, according to the National Hockey League (NHL) club schedule. The month opens Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m. Mountain Time (MT), which is 8 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), against Buffalo, and ends Wednesday, Dec. 30, at Boston.

The source is the NHL’s club schedule feed for Edmonton, read Nov. 11, 2026. It gives every start in UTC, so we converted the times to MT, which is Edmonton 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.

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

Sportsnet and its channels (Sportsnet One, Sportsnet+, Sportsnet Oilers) and Télé-Diffuseurs Associés (TVA) Sports carry most games in Canada, and Prime Video has the Dec. 30 game. In the U.S. column, “Regional channel” is a local or team outlet the feed lists under a short code, the market is the one the feed names, and “None listed” means the feed shows no U.S. broadcaster.
