Each year, hockey’s main arena comes alive again with NHL 26. One of Electronic Arts’ numerous sports licenses is back for another spin on the ice, and if you’re eager to find out when NHL 26 will be released, we’ve gathered all the launch date and start time details in one convenient location for you.
FIFA, Madden NFL, and College Football. NHL 26 shows that they also own the NHL license, and many people continue to purchase it annually. A refreshed Be A Pro mode, a updated ICE-Q 2.0 engine, and X-Factors are crucial parts of the latest edition.
If you’re craving some digital ice hockey action, then NHL 26 could be just what you need! Let’s find out when this exciting game will be available for you to dive into.
When is NHL 26 Coming Out?
NHL 26 hits the ice on September 12 across both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
You can start playing the game earlier if you opt for early access. If you’re planning to wait until its official launch, there are just a few more days left. The NHL series tends to be quite selective about the platforms it releases on. Unlike EA FC 26, which will come out on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, NHL 26 is only available on current-generation PS and Xbox consoles.
There’s some uncertainty about whether this move is aimed at saving costs. Nonetheless, it’s confirmed that the release of NHL 26 will be on September 12, both digitally and physically. The exact launch time varies based on your location.

The official PlayStation Store announces that NHL 26 will be released and available for download starting at 9 AM Pacific Daylight Time on September 12. Other time zones should have access to the game shortly after this initial release.
