Common card · No. 483920

The 2026–27 EIHL season is the 23rd season of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL), the highest level of domestic ice hockey played in the United Kingdom. The league is running three separate competitions which are being played between 12 September 2026 and 18 April 2027. The Belfast Giants are defending the League Championship. The Nottingham Panthers are defending the Challenge Cup cup. The Cardiff Devils are defending the Playoff title. Starting this season, the Challenge Cup elimination game and semi-finals will not include shootouts, they will instead have a full 20-minute period of 5-on-5 sudden-death overtime followed by continuous periods of 3-on-3 sudden-death overtime until the winning goal is scored (if required). The playoff quarter-finals second leg and semi-finals will also work under this format.
