The NHL moved the start times for 12 Winnipeg Jets home games in the 2026-27 regular season, shifting each one exactly one hour later. The changes cover dates from November 21, 2026, through March 13, 2027. The league said it made the adjustments after Manitoba decided to remain on daylight saving time permanently. The Jets’ official schedule notice lists both the earlier and updated local times.

What changed

Every game on the list has a new puck-drop time one hour later than the prior listing. Ten are evening games; two are afternoon starts. The release’s local-time column refers to the home market in Winnipeg, so the list below keeps that convention rather than trying to convert times for viewers in other time zones.

Manitoba announced its permanent daylight-saving decision on September 17, and the NHL published the schedule changes the following day. The provincial release said clocks would not revert on November 1, before the first game on the changed list. The provincial announcement explains the decision; the Jets notice identifies the games affected. For ticket holders, that difference matters because an older calendar or screenshot may still show the previous start time.

The announcement applies to specific regular-season dates, not to the entire home schedule. The first listed change is November 21; the last is March 13. The listed opponents and dates remain visible in the notice, while the start-time column changes. That means fans can update the affected events without assuming that every home game or every broadcast moved.

What fans should check

Across the list, six evening games move from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., four move from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and the two afternoon games move from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. or from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Grouping the changes this way makes the pattern easy to check, but the date-by-date list is still the source for a particular ticket.

Fans should check the current ticket, arena and broadcast listing for the exact game they plan to attend or watch, especially if they saved the original schedule earlier in the season.

The affected dates are spread across the winter rather than clustered around one week: three are in November, two in December, four in January, one in February and two in March. The spread makes a calendar update more useful than relying on memory after the first game. The later start could also affect a fan’s travel or evening plans, so the revised time should be checked before leaving for the arena.
