PWHL Vancouver Announces 2025-26 Regular Season Schedule

Professional women’s hockey is officially coming home to Vancouver. PWHL Vancouver will make their long-awaited debut on Friday, November 21, hosting fellow expansion team PWHL Seattle at the Pacific Coliseum. The matchup marks the first of 13 home games and helps kick off the Professional Women’s Hockey League’s third season with an opening-day doubleheader.

The full 30-game schedule for the 2025–26 season was announced today by the PWHL, giving fans a first look at what’s ahead for Vancouver’s newest team.

“It’s truly special to be starting our season at home in the Pacific Coliseum,” said forward Jenn Gardiner, one of the first players to sign with the team. “As a little girl, I dreamed of this moment, and I can’t wait to live it with my teammates and the fans. Vancouver has always been home, and it’s the honour of a lifetime to represent this city. Let’s make the Coliseum the loudest rink in the league!”

The season will include two scheduled breaks: one in December (Dec. 8–16) and another during the 2026 Winter Olympics (Jan. 29–Feb. 25), where several Vancouver players are expected to represent their national teams.

Vancouver fans can also look forward to some familiar faces returning to town. The Montréal Victoire visit on December 20, while the Toronto Sceptres will play at the Coliseum twice, before the Olympic break on January 22 and again on March 1.

A five-game homestand in March will wrap up with a major test: the reigning Walter Cup champions, the Minnesota Frost, who make their first trip to Vancouver on March 21. The Frost return again on April 25 for Vancouver’s final home game of the regular season.

“It’s exciting to take another step toward our inaugural season with the release of our 2025–26 schedule,” said General Manager Cara Gardner Morey. “We can’t wait to introduce this team to Vancouver and begin our pursuit of the Walter Cup when the puck drops on November 21.”
