2027 World Juniors Schedule, Tickets, and On-Sale Time

Individual tickets for the 2027 IIHF World Junior Championship go on sale to the public Friday, September 25, 2026, at 10 a.m. MT/12 p.m. ET. The September 23 presale is separate: Hockey Canada says access begins at 10 a.m. MT/12 p.m. ET for eligible Priority List members and supporting event stakeholder groups who receive access by email.

The tournament runs December 26, 2026 through January 5, 2027, with games at Rogers Place in Edmonton and Marchant Crane Centrium in Red Deer. Hockey Canada’s September 22 announcement confirms the venues and on-sale timing.

Use this guide to compare the complete schedules by venue. All game times below are Mountain Time, and elimination-round teams remain to be determined.

The venue split matters because the preliminary-round groups do not move between cities. A fan following Canada can stay with the Edmonton schedule, while a fan following the United States or Sweden can focus on Red Deer before any potential trip to the medal round.

When do 2027 World Juniors tickets go on sale?

The public sale for individual 2027 World Juniors tickets starts September 25 at 10 a.m. MT/12 p.m. ET. Hockey Canada opened a presale on September 23 at the same time, but that earlier window is only for eligible Priority List members and supporting event stakeholder groups who receive email access.

Fans without presale access can use Hockey Canada’s official ticket page when the public sale opens. Check that page for current primary-market inventory; this guide does not make an availability claim.
