Rytíři Kladno tickets 2026-27: home games at ČEZ Stadion
Kladno is an industrial town just outside Prague, and its hockey club is one of the main reasons to visit. This guide to Kladno covers the home schedule at ČEZ Stadion, the atmosphere, the capital-city neighbours and how to buy tickets.
Kladno: hockey on Prague's doorstep
Kladno sits close enough to Prague that a game here is an easy evening for anyone staying in the capital, yet the feel is completely different: a working town where the hockey club is a point of pride. Rytíři Kladno play 26 regular-season home games this winter, opening on 18 September 2026 against Sparta.
If you want a more local alternative to the big Prague arena, this is the place. Visitors often pair a Kladno evening with a day in the capital and take the train or a short drive out.
Visiting ČEZ Stadion: what the Kladno rink is like
ČEZ Stadion holds 5,200, so it sits at the smaller end of the league. The stands are close to the boards, and noise rolls around the building easily.
- Plan for a short taxi or bus link from the railway station if you arrive by train.
- Arrive early on derby nights; entrances can back up.
- Seats near the middle of the long side give the clearest view of the whole ice.
It is a traditional, no-frills building, and that suits the character of the club perfectly.
The club's identity is rooted in the town's mining and steel past, and you can sense it in how the crowd treats its team: patient, loud and fiercely loyal. Foreign visitors are rare enough to be noticed, which usually means a warm welcome and a few friendly questions from the neighbours in the next seats.
The Prague connection: Kladno and Sparta
The most natural fixture for Kladno is the one against Sparta, the neighbouring heavyweight from Prague. Their visits to Kladno fall on 18 September 2026 and 27 October 2026, and the crowd turns up in greater numbers than on a normal midweek night.
You will see both blue and red scarves in the stands. The supporters of Kladno sing through most of the match, with plenty of drums and flags, and the atmosphere is passionate without being intimidating for visitors.
How to get Kladno tickets without stress
Use the club's official box office first. Season-ticket holders are served before single-match buyers, and the busiest dates are weekends and the Sparta fixtures. For a small arena like this one, last-minute plans can fail on a big night.
From abroad, keep an eye on the box office delivery options and store your ticket on your phone. Treat resale marketplaces with caution. Our email alert is the easy way to hear when new Kladno home games open for sale.
Build a Prague-and-Kladno weekend
Stay in Prague, see the old town in daylight, then ride out to Kladno for the evening game. Check the last return train or arrange a taxi before the third period ends, since late-night services are fewer than in the capital.
A short stroll in the town centre before the game shows you why locals care about the team. Wear warm clothing: the rink is cold at ice level, and winter evenings can be freezing outside.
