HV71 tickets 2026-27: Husqvarna Garden, Jönköping
HV71 stayed in the SHL by winning the 2026 Play Out against Leksand, and they return to Husqvarna Garden in Jönköping for another season. The arena holds 7,000, so a good seat is realistic if you plan ahead. Here is how to approach it.
HV71 in Jönköping: a survivor with a loyal crowd
HV71 begin the 2026-27 season fresh from a tense Play Out series, which they won against Leksand to keep their SHL place. That recent drama tends to sharpen the home crowd's attachment, and early-season games at Husqvarna Garden often feel eager.
The first home date is 19 September 2026, when Malmö Redhawks visit. HV71 have 26 regular-season home games in total.
HV71 at Husqvarna Garden: a compact arena
The capacity here is 7,000, which keeps everything close to the ice. For visitors, that means a clearer view from most seats and a crowd noise that is easy to feel, especially when the home side is pushing.
Jönköping sits at the southern tip of Lake Vättern, a pleasant place to combine with a game. Arrive early for dinner in town, then allow time for the walk or transport to the arena.
HV71 against Linköping and Växjö: games to circle
Linköping visit on 20 October 2026 and 2 February 2027, and Växjö on 21 November 2026 and 6 February 2027. Both are regional opponents, which usually means more travelling supporters and a louder atmosphere.
If you can only attend one game, pick a Saturday against one of these two for the full effect.
Practical advice for HV71 tickets
Start with the club's official box office. With 7,000 seats, the best Saturday games can fill quickly, so reserve soon after release. Midweek games are usually easier and make a good fallback.
If you are coming from abroad, look at train links from Stockholm and Göteborg, and remember that evening games finish late. Use resale marketplaces only as a last resort. Our email alert is the simplest way to be told when HV71 seats become available.
What a HV71 game feels like
HV71 supporters have a reputation for committed, organised support, and a visit shows why. The stands are close to the action, and the noise in a full building is substantial. Because the venue is compact, even a seat higher up gives you a feeling of being in the middle of the game.
Jönköping is easy to navigate. Many visitors stay in the centre, walk around the lake front in the afternoon, and take the short journey to the arena. With a relatively small capacity of 7,000, the entire evening feels contained, and finding your way around is quick.
If you are bringing children, aim for the earlier weekend games, which finish at a comfortable hour. For a first visit, sit near the middle of the long side for the best view of the game's rhythm, or choose the supporters' end if you want to feel part of the noise.
Whichever you choose, treat the intermissions as part of the experience. Fans queue for drinks and talk about the first period, and the mood is friendly. It is a good way to meet people who are happy to explain how the Play Out drama shapes the mood this season.
