Hockey fans, rejoice!
On Tuesday, October 28, fans will be treated to nearly eight hours of continuous hockey action thanks to the return of the NHL Frozen Frenzy. For the third year in a row, all 32 NHL teams will be in action on the same night, in an event the league and ESPN has dubbed the NHL Frozen Frenzy. Pretty cool, right?
Things get kicked off with a rivalry game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, which is only the first game of 16 scheduled for the night. Even better? All 16 games are staggered 15 or 30 minutes apart, meaning there should always be something to watch.
Tuesday's slate will feature some high-profile matchups such as the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders, the Los Angeles Kings versus the San Jose Sharks and more. All content will be available on ESPN+, with a few matchups scheduled for ESPN proper. ESPN2, however, will be hosting the NHL Frozen Frenzy Live Whip-Around Studio Show with John Buccigross and Kevin Weekes, a NFL RedZone style show for the event.
Of course, the NHL Frozen Frenzy will be the only day of the 2025-26 season where all 32 teams will play on the same day, so don't miss out on the fun!
