FAQs: Avalanche vs Predators

How can I watch Avalanche vs. Predators?

CBS Sports lists ESPN+ for this game, though it does not identify a linear TV channel or specify access or blackout rules. You can also stream Avalanche vs. Predators on Surprise Stream (surprisestream.com), which offers a free preview before you subscribe.

When does Avalanche vs. Predators start, and where is it being played?

The game is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at 7 p.m. Central time (8 p.m. Eastern) at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The Predators are the home team. The October 26 date attached to this page reflects the UTC calendar date for the evening start in the United States; locally, the game is on October 25.

What schedule challenge does Nashville face in this game?

The Predators play Colorado on the second night of a back-to-back: they visit Pittsburgh on October 24, then host the Avalanche on October 25. That leaves Nashville with consecutive games on the road and at home, a notable scheduling wrinkle for the matchup.

What makes this matchup notable for former Predators players and Nashville’s GM?

Colorado forwards Zach L’Heureux and Fedor Svechkov are listed as former Predators now with the Avalanche. Nashville general manager Chris MacFarland also gets a meeting with his former club in his role as Predators GM; he previously won a Stanley Cup as an assistant general manager with Colorado in 2022.

What kind of game is this in the NHL schedule?

It is a 2026-27 regular-season game, part of an 84-game NHL campaign. The Predators’ schedule has Colorado among their Central Division rivals, whom Nashville is slated to face four times—twice at home and twice on the road—so this is one of multiple divisional meetings during the season.
