Save The Date

Binghamton, NY – July 17, 2026 – The Federal Prospects Hockey League today announced the home-opening date for each of its 17 member teams, launching a coordinated series of announcements that will bring the 2026–27 season into focus over the coming days.

The first question is simple:

When does FPHL hockey return to your city?

Fans can circle the dates today. Opening opponents will remain under wraps until Monday, July 20, when the FPHL and its teams reveal the first home matchups of the new season.

From there, the league will continue unveiling key elements of the 2026-27 season throughout the week before releasing the complete regular-season schedule on Friday, July 24.

“We wanted this to be more than a one-day schedule release,” said Ken Andrews, BOG and FPHL Operating Committee Member. “With 17 teams working from one coordinated plan, fans in every market will see the season take shape one piece at a time. Today, they can circle the date. Monday, they will learn who is coming to town. From there, we will continue building toward the complete schedule and the next chapter of the FPHL.”
