The Edmonton Oilers kick off their Stanley Cup Playoff run tonight in Los Angeles, facing the Kings in Game 1 of their first-round series. Puck drops at 8:00 PM Mountain Time at Crypto.com Arena.
Back in Edmonton, fans can rally at two major outdoor watch parties in ICE District: the Ford Tailgate Party and the Play Alberta Fan Park, including the massive Molson Hockey House tent. Both venues open at 7:00 PM with free admission for all ages. Entry to the Fan Park requires a free LOILTY Rewards membership, which fans can grab at loiltyrewards.com.
Game 2 watch party tickets—happening Wednesday inside Rogers Place—are also available. Oilers legends Craig MacTavish and Kelly Buchberger will be signing autographs from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on the concourse. There’s no Game 1 viewing at Rogers Place due to the Nelly concert tonight.
For out-of-town fans, the Oil Country Fan Bus is offering round-trip playoff travel packages from communities across Alberta to Games 3 and 4 in Edmonton. Info and tickets are at EdmontonOilers.com/FanBus.
Meanwhile, the Oilers’ massive 50/50 raffle is back, supporting the Ben Stelter Foundation, Kids with Cancer Society, and Alberta Cancer Foundation. Tickets are open to anyone in Alberta at EdmontonOilers.com/5050, with jackpots historically soaring into the millions.
Fans can gear up with new 2025 playoff merchandise at the Oilers Team Store or online, and deck out their homes and businesses with official banners and decals from williamhuff.com/shop.
Playoffs are here. Let’s go, Oilers.
