FAQs: Buffalo Sabres vs Anaheim Ducks
How can I watch Sabres vs. Ducks in the U.S.?
The game is listed for streaming on ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu. This is streaming coverage, not a listing for a linear ESPN TV channel; ESPN says programming may be subject to change.
When does Buffalo play Anaheim, and what time is puck drop?
The scheduled game is Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT). Although the page title labels it October 30, the official NHL schedule and broadcast listings give October 29 as the game date.
Where is the game being played, and which team is at home?
Anaheim is the home team at Honda Center in Anaheim, California, with Buffalo visiting. That means the Ducks host this matchup rather than the Sabres playing on home ice.
Is Sabres-Ducks a regular-season game or a playoff matchup?
It is a 2026–27 regular-season game, not a playoff contest. The NHL schedule lists an 84-game regular season, so this is one of the games in each club’s season slate.
Is there an audio option if I can’t watch the game?
The Ducks say Ducks Stream will carry all 84 games as audio streams, including their regular-season schedule. It offers a way to follow Anaheim’s game by audio, though it is not the same as video coverage.
