<p>Amid all of the free agent news and signings happening on July 1st, the Oilers announced via their social media channels that the 2023-24 season will kick off on October 9th against the Winnipeg Jets at Rogers Place.</p>
<p>After what is sure to be a busy offseason in Edmonton, the Oilers will hit the ice and show what they&#8217;ve got after fewer than 90 days of off-season activities. After taking the Stanley Cup Final to seven games, fans won&#8217;t have to wait long before seeing what the team can do to follow up on what was undoubtedly a rollercoaster ride in Edmonton this spring. The Oilers and Jets have battled each other very hard over the last handful of seasons, making this upcoming season opener a fiery way to start the 2024-25 campaign.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s announcement follows Edmonton&#8217;s pre-season schedule release from last week, which features eight tune-up games.</p>
<ul>
<li>September 22nd vs Winnipeg</li>
<li>September 23rd vs Calgary in a split-squad</li>
<li>September 25th at Winnipeg</li>
<li>September 28th vs Seattle</li>
<li>September 30th vs Vancouver</li>
<li>October 2nd at Seattle</li>
<li>October 4th at Vancouver</li>
</ul>
<p>With only 83 days to go until the pre-season kicks off, the summer is about to fly by for Oilers fans who can&#8217;t wait to get the next season going. While it&#8217;s certainly not ideal that there are seven pre-season nights to work through, there is little doubt that the 2024-25 season will be the most anticipated in Northern Alberta in quite some time.</p>
