Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada and Prague, Czechia Awarded the Expanded Best-on Best Follow-up to the Electrifying 4 Nations Face-Off
The new home of entertainment in Calgary, Scotia Place, and state-of-the-art Rogers Place in Edmonton, both in Alberta, Canada, along with the world-class O2 Arena in Prague, Czechia will host the next edition of best-on-best competition in the World Cup of Hockey 2028. This marks another key milestone in the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) plan for expanded, eight-nation premier international best-on-best hockey. The tournament will be held in February 2028.
Calgary and Edmonton will jointly serve as hosts representing the Province of Alberta. Scotia Place in Calgary and O2 Arena in Prague will each host seven games – six round-robin and one elimination game in each market – while two semifinal games and the championship game will be held at Rogers Place in Edmonton. The tournament will feature 17 games, along with extensive ancillary programming including unique fan events and media days.
“There is no international competition in sports that matches the passion, skill, and excitement of hockey’s best-on-best coming together to represent their countries — last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off and the recent Winter Olympics were just the latest examples,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We at the National Hockey League and our partners at the National Hockey League Players’ Association can’t wait to bring the World Cup of Hockey 2028 to three spectacular venues in three cities that shine when staging big events. We know Calgary, Edmonton and Prague will serve as fantastic hosts for hockey fans from all over the globe, and that the greatest hockey players in the world will compete on a level that will make this event truly memorable.”
