SEATTLE - PWHL Seattle announced their 30-game schedule for their inaugural season on Wednesday with the season opener coming on November 21 against PWHL Vancouver.
Seattle's home opener will come a week later against the two-time defending Walter Cup champion Minneosta Frost.
The schedule isn't completely balanced with 30 games across seven opponents. Seattle will play two games at home and on the road against all seven rivals across the league. For the unbalanced portions of the schedule, Seattle will get an extra home game against the Boston Fleet and will play one extra road game against the Ottawa Charge.
While the majority of home games for PWHL Seattle will be at Climate Pledge Arena, home contests against Vancouver (January 25) and New York (March 25) are still yet to be announced. The Kraken have a home game against the New Jersey Devils on January 25 as a building conflict.
Seattle and Vancouver will go without team names for their first seasons, just as the original six teams did for the first year of 2023-24. The two cities became the first expansion teams to the league with more reportedly expected after the upcoming campaign.
The team will also have a month-long break for the Winter Olympics. They will play at the Charge on January 28 before heading on break before returning home to face the Toronto Sceptres on February 27.
