The schedule sees the team play four games at home at Rogers Place and another four games on the road.

The Oilers will face off against their provincial rivals the Calgary Flames twice. Those games will mark the first time the two clubs will meet since their spirited Battle of Alberta series in the second round of the 2022 NHL playoffs this spring.
Edmonton will also play two games against the Winnipeg Jets, the Vancouver Canucks and the Seattle Kraken.
The Oilers’ 2021-22 season came to an end on June 6 when the Colorado Avalanche won Game 4 of the NHL Western Conference Final to knock Edmonton out of the post-season. The Avalanche went on to win the Stanley Cup in the next round of the playoffs.
