Djurgården tickets 2026-27: Hovet and Avicii Arena
Djurgårdens IF are back in the SHL and play in Stockholm with an unusual twist this season: most home games are at Hovet, while six are staged at the much larger Avicii Arena. Always check which venue your chosen date uses before you book tickets or travel.
Djurgården in Stockholm: a capital-city hockey night
Few hockey experiences combine a major European capital with a passionate local club as neatly as a Djurgården game. Stockholm gives you plenty to do around the match, and the club's return to the SHL since 2025 has given the home games extra energy.
For visitors, the appeal is simple: you can pair a weekend city break with a proper top-flight game, without any of the logistics of a small-town trip.
Djurgården tickets and the two-venue puzzle
This is the single most important thing to know about Djurgården tickets in 2026-27. The schedule lists 26 home games: 20 at Hovet, with a capacity of 8,094, and 6 at Avicii Arena (Globen), which holds 13,950.
The Avicii Arena dates are 19 September 2026 against Idrottsföreningen Björklöven; 1 October 2026 against Färjestad Bollklubb; 31 October 2026 against Brynäs Idrottsförening; 28 December 2026 against HV71; 6 February 2027 against Idrottsföreningen Björklöven; 6 March 2027 against Brynäs Idrottsförening. Everything else is at Hovet. The opening home game on 19 September 2026 is one of the big-arena nights.
Confirm the venue on your ticket before travelling, because the two buildings are in different parts of the Stockholm area.
Djurgården atmosphere and the Frölunda and Färjestad dates
Hovet is a compact, intense venue where noise bounces off the walls, while Avicii Arena delivers scale and spectacle. Fans looking for a headline game should note Frölunda at Hovet on 2 February 2027 and 16 February 2027, and Färjestad on 1 October 2026 and 27 February 2027, the first of those at Avicii Arena.
The club's supporter groups are vocal throughout, so standing near them gives the best atmosphere if you want to be part of it.
How to buy Djurgården tickets and plan your visit
Use the club's official box office first. Season-ticket holders get priority, and general sales for the large Avicii Arena games tend to run longer than those for Hovet, where space is tighter. For weekend games and the bigger opponents, do not wait until the week of the match.
If you are travelling from abroad, build the trip around the date, then confirm the venue, and allow a margin for local transport after a late finish. Our email alert will tell you when ticket availability changes.
Planning a Djurgården weekend in Stockholm
Because Djurgården are based in the capital, the club suits a longer trip than most SHL teams. You can arrive on a Friday, see a game on Saturday and still have a Sunday to explore Stockholm before flying home. Stockholm's size also means more hotel choice and later transport at the end of the evening.
The difference between the venues shapes your day. Hovet is the intimate, traditional choice, where the fans feel close to the ice and every chant is audible. Avicii Arena is a bigger stage; the games there feel like special occasions and are suited to groups, families or visitors who want a spectacle with thousands of others.
Whichever you choose, aim to arrive early. Security, bag checks and food queues take time, and the first minutes of a Djurgården game are often the loudest. If you are travelling with children, check seating areas and start times, since later weeknight faceoffs can finish well into the evening.
Finally, treat the venue as part of the ticket itself. Screenshot the details when you buy, and re-check them a few days before you leave. That small habit avoids the main mistake visitors can make this season.
