TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Lightning announced the team's 2023-24 regular season schedule, presented by AdventHealth, today. The schedule consists of a full 82-game campaign that features the Bolts opening the season at AMALIE Arena on Tuesday, October 10 at 5:30 p.m. They will play six of their first nine games at home.

The Lightning will play all teams in the NHL a minimum of two times. The Bolts will take on each team in their division four times with the exceptions of Florida and Detroit, which they will play on three occasions. They will play the Metropolitan Division three times each and play against each Western Conference opponent twice (once home and once away).
The Lightning will play an even split of 41 home and road games once again and will have a pair of home stands of five games, their longest of the campaign, October 19-30 and February 29-March 14. The schedule also features a pair of season-long, five-game road trips December 7-16 (Nashville, Seattle, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary) and March 16-24 (Florida, Vegas, San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim).
Tampa Bay will play a total of nine back-to-back matchups, including the only one with both games at AMALIE Arena on December 30 against the New York Rangers and December 31 versus the Montreal Canadiens. All other back-to-back games will see both games on the road, except for one, December 6 in Tampa against the Pittsburgh Penguins and December 7 at Nashville.
The Bolts' busiest month will come in November, with six games at home and a season-high nine away from Tampa. They will play their most home games during the month of December, with seven contests at AMALIE Arena.
The 2024 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend will be held at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on February 2 and 3.
Ticket and broadcast information will be made available at a later date.
