FAQs: Kings vs Capitals

How can I watch Kings vs. Capitals on TV or stream it?

The game is listed on ABTV and MNMT for U.S. TV coverage. Kings fans in the team’s home TV territory can also stream available local games on LA Kings on DAZN, subject to national exclusivities and NHL rights restrictions; DAZN costs $19.99 per month or $129 for the season. You can also watch Kings vs. Capitals on Surprise Stream (surprisestream.com), which offers a free preview before you subscribe.

What time does Kings vs. Capitals start?

Puck drop is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, at 7 p.m. Eastern. That is 4 p.m. Pacific for fans following the Kings from Los Angeles, so plan for an afternoon start on the West Coast.

Where is the game, and which team is at home?

The Capitals host the Kings at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Los Angeles is the visiting team, while Washington gets the home-ice setting.

Is this a regular-season game or a playoff matchup?

Kings vs. Capitals is a 2026-27 NHL regular-season game, not a playoff contest. The result counts in the teams’ regular-season records, rather than determining advancement in a postseason series.

Can I listen to a radio broadcast of the game?

Washington’s event listing names 106.7 The Fan and the Capitals Radio Network as radio options. That gives fans a way to follow the game by audio, separate from the TV listings.
