Extraliga Tickets 2026-27: Dates, Teams and Arenas

Extraliga Tickets 2026-27: Season Overview

Czech hockey is part of national identity, and the Tipsport Extraliga shows why. Crowds are knowledgeable, the atmosphere is loud and the clubs have deep local roots. The league has some of the largest arenas in Europe, such as Prague's O2 Arena, and some of the most traditional small-town halls, which makes it a fantastic place to follow hockey as a visitor.

The 2026-27 season keeps the same 14 clubs as last year. Litvínov stayed up after beating the first-division winner Dukla Jihlava in the 2026 relegation series. HC Dynamo Pardubice are the champions: they beat Oceláři Třinec 4-2 in the final for the club's fourth title and the first since 2012.

Autumn weekends combine mild weather with the freshest atmosphere. December has Christmas markets in Czech cities, and January to March is full of tension as clubs fight for playoff spots. A trip in March is best for a decisive game, but plan flexibly.
