SCL Tigers tickets 2026-27: village hockey in the Emmental
The SCL Tigers play 26 home games in 2026-27 at the emmental versicherung arena in Langnau, which holds 6,000. A village in the Emmental hills with a real hockey culture, it offers one of the most authentic nights in the National League.
SCL Tigers: the village club with a championship in its past
Founded in 1946, the SCL Tigers (formerly SC Langnau) won their only Swiss title in 1976. Today they are the smallest-town club in the league, and that is the point: Langnau lives for its hockey, and the arena is the social centre of the Emmental.
For a visitor, that means an evening with real local flavour. The Tigers are an underdog by budget, but a very tough opponent at home.
The emmental versicherung arena: home of the SCL Tigers
The emmental versicherung arena holds 6,000, an impressive number for a village of this size. It is a traditional hall with steep stands, and on a full night the building shakes. Parking and a short walk from the station are the main ways to arrive.
Inside, everything feels compact and close to the ice. Food stands are modest, queues move quickly and the sense of being among locals is strong.
SCL Tigers fans and the atmosphere in Langnau
The Tigers crowd is known for its loyalty. Singing, flags and drums run through the game, and fans who have followed the club for decades sit next to children in club shirts. The mood is warm, local and loud.
Visitors from outside the region often say it is one of the most welcoming rinks in Switzerland. A club scarf is the traditional souvenir.
SCL Tigers rivalries: Bern and Biel
The derby against SC Bern is the big regional game: Bern visit Langnau on 17 October 2026 and 4 December 2026. EHC Biel-Bienne, another Bernese-canton rival, come on 14 November 2026 and 16 February 2027.
The Bern games bring the largest away support, and the Emmental often becomes a mix of red and yellow on those evenings.
How to buy SCL Tigers tickets, even from abroad
Begin with the club's official box office. Season ticket holders have priority, and in a village of this size the big derbies are filled by locals long before the game. Book early if you want Bern or Biel.
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 chosen dates are worth securing.
A trip to Langnau for SCL Tigers games
Langnau is a village-sized town in the Emmental hills, about 30 kilometres from Bern. Trains from Bern make the trip simple, but plan your return carefully for evening games, because services thin out late.
Arrive early, try the local cheese or a meringue with cream, and walk to the arena with the other fans. The whole experience is about community rather than spectacle.
Weather matters in the Emmental, so check conditions before a winter trip. Snow can slow roads, and trains are the safer option on match days. The arena has little commercial polish, which is exactly why many visitors remember it. Bring cash for small items as a backup, though cards are widely accepted.
