Getting to UBS Arena for New York Islanders vs New York Rangers
UBS Arena is inside Belmont Park in Elmont, just beyond the Queens border. The simplest way from Manhattan is the Long Island Rail Road, with event trains to the Belmont Park station, usually changing at Jamaica; allow about an hour. Driving is possible but parking and parkway traffic are heavy. Arrive 45 minutes early to enjoy the plaza and food options without queueing at security. Evening games usually start around 7:00 or 7:30 pm, and the return trains leave shortly after the final horn, so plan your exit.

The Battle of New York visits UBS Arena on December 20, 2026 and February 18, 2027. Expect a split crowd, sharp noise and the hardest Islanders tickets of the season to find at a fair price.
