The Nashville Predators announced today that single-game ticket sales for the 2026-27 season begin on on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 10 a.m. CT. Additionally, the Predators revealed the theme nights for this season's home games inside Bridgestone Arena.

“The best time of the year is approaching quickly: hockey season! I am so excited to celebrate a new era of the Predators with the best fans in sports at Bridgestone Arena,” Nashville Predators CEO Sean Henry said in a press release. “There truly is something for everyone in SMASHVILLE with our season theme nights from the return of Star Wars Night to the continuation of our Smashville Sports Series, Music Heritage Nights, Ford Military Week, two PTO: Preds Time Off weekday matinee games, a Golden Hall Celebration and so much more."

The Predators will celebrate Nashville's music history with several themed evenings around different artists and genres. The franchise will host events that cater to all walks of life, from Star Wars to wrestling, and even a University of Tennessee Night, tapping into the Volunteers' fan base.

Nashville will take extra care in honorning its newest Hall of Famer as the Predators will celebrate Pekka Rinne's birthday on Nov. 3 ahead of the Hall of Fame ceremony and then will celebrate him again on March 30 by giving the first 10,000 fans in Bridgestone Arena a bobblehead of Rinne.
