The Flyers will host a free Fan Fest and an Orange Carpet presented by Coca-Cola at Stateside Live! on Wednesday, Sept. 30, ahead of their home opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Fan Fest activities begin at 3 p.m., with stations to get "Flyer'd up," photo opportunities, games and giveaways. The Orange Carpet starts at 4 p.m., when fans can welcome the 2026-27 roster before it faces Pittsburgh for the first time since Philadelphia's first-round win in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

TNT Sports will bring its NHL on TNT studio broadcast to the same location for an opening-night doubleheader. Liam McHugh will host alongside analysts Wayne Gretzky, Henrik Lundqvist, Anson Carter and Paul Bissonnette. The Face Off pregame show begins at 6 p.m., followed by Flyers-Penguins at 7:30 p.m. and Los Angeles at Colorado at 10 p.m.

Fans who stay for the late game will receive drink specials, including $1 off all Stateside Vodka Soda cans and Surfsides for every Flyers goal. Raffle prizes distributed at the end of the night include VIP Flyers tickets and signed memorabilia.

All events at Stateside Live! are free and open to the public. The Flyers are asking fans to RSVP in advance and arrive early for the best chance of entry.
