NHL Makes Changes to Seven Maple Leafs Games in 2025-26 Season Update

A series of revisions have been made for the start times for the Toronto Maple Leafs, with seven new times for previously scheduled dates now having been changed.

Toronto starts their 2025-26 NHL season on October 8th against the Montreal Canadiens, with their season ending on April 15th against the Ottawa Senators.

Former Maple Leaf Mitch Marner will face his old club with the Vegas Golden Knights on January 15th, and a return to Toronto eight days later on January 23rd.

Seven games with previously scheduled have new updates on their start times for the season.

The changes involve two home games for Toronto, with the Leafs Oct. 28 game against the Calgary Flames moved from 6:30 pm to 6:15 pm.

Toronto's January 25th game against the Colorado Avalanche, a Sunday game, has been revised from 2:00 pm to 1:30 pm.

Five road games have also been adjusted, starting with the Oct. 24 game against the Buffalo Sabres, now at 7:30 pm rather than 7, games on December 2nd and 4th between Florida and Carolina respectively also moved from 7pm to 7:30, and a January 13th game against the Utah Mammoth pushed to 8 pm, previously scheduled for 7pm.

Toronto will have a break in February for the 2026 Winter Olympics, in which Auston Matthews (USA) and William Nylander (Sweden) will be representing their respective countries.

Toronto will be looking to improve on last season's 52-26-4 record, but more importantly progressing past the second round of the playoffs. Key to Toronto's season will be the health of Auston Matthews, who will be looking to rebound from lingering injuries last season.
