The Toronto Maple Leafs play 13 games in December 2026, including Boxing Day at the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, Dec. 26, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), according to the National Hockey League (NHL) club schedule. Five games are at home and eight are on the road, and the month opens Thursday, Dec. 3, at home against Florida.

The source is the NHL’s club schedule feed for Toronto, read Nov. 10, 2026. It gives each start in UTC. We converted the times to ET, which is Toronto time, and calculated the weekdays. The feed lists broadcasters and they can change. A one-page printable is further down.

Network names are as the feed lists them. Sportsnet, TSN4 and Télévision Quatre-Saisons (TVA) Sports are Canadian networks. In the U.S. column, “Regional channel” stands for a local or regional outlet the feed lists under a short code; “None listed” means the feed shows no U.S. broadcaster.
