Ässät tickets 2026-27: hockey at Isomäki Ice Hall in Pori
Ässät are Pori's hockey team, twice Finnish champions, and play at the 6,150-capacity Isomäki Ice Hall. Here is a straight guide to the 32 home games, the west-coast clash with Lukko and the smart way to buy Ässät tickets.
Pori's own team: why see Ässät
Pori is a west-coast city best known for its summer jazz festival, but in winter the conversation turns to hockey. Ässät have won the Finnish championship twice, and the club keeps a passionate local base.
The home season starts on 4 September 2026 against Ilves, with an evening start. Ässät have 32 regular-season home games.
For visitors who like a regional trip, Pori fits neatly between Rauma and Turku.
Ässät at Isomäki Ice Hall: arena notes
Ässät play at Isomäki Ice Hall, with a listed capacity of 6,150. The schedule data also refers to it as Porin jäähalli I, so do not be surprised to see both names.
The hall is a solid mid-sized venue, good for a lively crowd. Pori is roughly in the middle of the west coast, so combining a game with a stop in Rauma or Turku is realistic.
Ässät supporters and a Pori matchday
Ässät fans are known for being warm hosts and tough critics. They support the team through thick and thin, but they will let the players know when the effort drops. The tone is local and direct, and it makes for a lively evening.
Pori is compact, so everything is close. Put the arena on your list alongside a stroll by the Kokemäenjoki river or a meal in the centre. In winter, remember warm clothing: the coast can be windy.
Ässät home games with extra edge
Lukko of Rauma are the nearest rival, and Ässät host them on 2 October 2026 and 15 January 2027. Kärpät, with eight titles, visit on 28 November 2026 and 28 February 2027.
TPS of Turku play in Pori on 17 October 2026 and 3 February 2027, which is a good third option for a trip along the coast.
Booking Ässät tickets
Check the club's official box office first. Neighbour games and weekends are the likely sell-outs.
- Lukko games first.
- Check whether your game is a weekday or a weekend before arranging transport.
- Foreign visitors can pick digital tickets.
With the bottom three clubs heading to a new B-Liiga after 2026-27, late games against rivals matter. Our email alert helps you decide when to book.
The league format raises the stakes. In the 2026-27 transitional season the top four teams reach the quarter-finals directly, five to twelve play a wild-card round and the bottom three move to a new B-Liiga. For a two-time champion that has been in tougher spots, the home games against Lukko and Kärpät are the dates that can make or break a season.
If you are travelling from abroad, plan the trip to Pori carefully, since it is not on the main Helsinki line. Check bus and train options, decide in advance where you will stay and keep your ticket on your phone with the battery charged.
Whichever game you choose, buy through the club's official box office and read the date, time and block twice before paying. Kick-off times in Liiga are normally early evening, but they can change for broadcast reasons, so leave some flexibility in your plans.
