The schedule and ticket prices have been confirmed for the 2026 IIHF Continental Cup Final at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham.
The revamped format creates the biggest European tournament ever to be held in the UK and it's an honour to be hosting the showpiece 2026 IIHF Continental Cup Final in Nottingham from Wednesday 14th to Saturday 17th January 2026.
Panthers are joined by HC Torpedo (KAZ), GKS Katowice (POL) and Herning Blue Fox (DEN), while the two top sides from November's four-team second-round group will complete the six-team final.
The six-team final will be split into two groups with round-robin games taking place between the Wednesday and Friday.
The medal games are being held on the Saturday with the top team in each group facing each other for the Continental Cup trophy. The runners-up and third place in each group will also face each other on the Saturday for their respective medals.
There are three different ticket types for the 2026 IIHF Continental Cup Final - All-In Tournament Passes, Day Tickets and Individual Game Tickets.
The All-In Tournament Pass offers the best value for money and covers all nine games across the four days. These will go on sale at 09:00 on Thursday 2nd October.
Individual Tickets for games will be available for the group stage between the Wednesday and Friday, as well as Day Tickets covering both games on each day.
For the Finals Day on the Saturday, only a Day Ticket will be available covering all three games.
With it being an IIHF European tournament, these matches are not included on the Nottingham Panthers All-In or 26-Game Season Ticket as per the season ticket terms and conditions.
There's an exclusive window for all season ticket holders to secure their own seats.
Season ticket holders will have until 23:59 on Wednesday 12th November - or 18:00 on the same day by phone - to secure their seats.
