It’s a nine-game week coming up in Week 18 of the 2025–26 Elite Ice Hockey League season.

The week gets underway on Wednesday night as Dundee Stars host Belfast Giants. This fixture completes the run of meetings between the sides played across the period from just before Christmas through to the New Year.
Friday night sees Sheffield Steelers begin a Scottish triple-header with a visit to Glasgow Clan. The Steelers will face all three Scottish teams on the road over the weekend. Elsewhere, Coventry Blaze are at home on a Friday night as they welcome Dundee Stars to the Skydome.
Saturday features a full slate of action. Coventry travel to Guildford Flames, while the Steelers continue their road trip in Fife. Manchester Storm host Cardiff Devils in Altrincham, and league leaders Nottingham Panthers head to Belfast to face the Giants.
Sunday’s schedule opens with Belfast playing their second home game of the weekend, this time against Manchester Storm. Nottingham return to home ice to face Fife Flyers, Cardiff Devils host Glasgow Clan, and Sheffield’s Scottish road trip concludes with a visit to Dundee.
This is Nottingham Panthers’ final week of domestic competition before they host the IIHF Continental Cup Final in Week 19.
