EV Zug tickets 2026-27: hockey at the OYM hall

EV Zug: three titles and a modern Central Swiss identity

Founded in 1967, EV Zug has won three Swiss championships, in 1998, 2021 and 2022. The recent titles confirmed the club as a stable power in the National League, and the team is known for fast, well-organised hockey.

Zug is a wealthy, international small city, and the crowd reflects that: local families, season ticket holders from Central Switzerland and plenty of professionals who come after work.

OYM hall: the home of EV Zug

The OYM hall holds 7,800 for hockey. It is a modern arena with good sight lines and comfortable entrances, and it can be reached by public transport from the station. Parking exists but fills early on busy nights.

Inside, expect an organised, professional atmosphere with well-run food stands and a crowd that mixes loud standing sections with calmer seating.

EV Zug fans: blue and white in Central Switzerland

The Zug crowd is supportive and loud when the game demands it. The standing curve leads the chants, and the building reacts strongly to goals, penalties and big saves. The blue-and-white colours are visible across the lakeside town on game days.

The tone is friendly and cosmopolitan, so visitors from abroad should feel comfortable.

EV Zug rivalries: ZSC Lions and Lugano

The ZSC Lions, the neighbouring Zurich club and fellow multiple champion, visit Zug on 26 January 2027 and 16 February 2027. HC Lugano, a long-time title rival, come to the OYM hall on 27 October 2026 and 30 January 2027.

The late-January weekend, with ZSC and Lugano games just days apart, is a good window for a hockey trip.

Buying EV Zug tickets from home or abroad

Start with the club's official box office. Season ticket holders have priority, and the games against ZSC and Lugano and the weekend dates sell out first. Because the home schedule starts on 23 October 2026, book early for the first weeks.

From abroad, check delivery and keep your ticket on your phone. If a game is sold out, use only reputable resale marketplaces. Our email alert will tell you when your preferred dates are worth securing.

A Zug weekend around EV Zug

Zug sits on the lake of the same name, about 25 minutes by train from Zurich and Lucerne, so it fits easily into a Central Switzerland itinerary. The old town and lakeside promenade are compact, and the local cherry cake is a classic stop.

Note that the home schedule opens relatively late: EV Zug's first home game is on 23 October 2026, so plan visits from late October onwards.

Evening games end late, and the last trains still run to Zurich and Lucerne, but check times in advance if you plan to leave straight after the final siren.

Zug is a small city, so hotel choice is limited and prices rise on match weekends; Zurich and Lucerne are fallback options with frequent trains. Food in the arena is standard fare, but the lakeside restaurants near the old town are better for a proper meal before the game.
