Kings Announce 2026 Preseason Broadcast Schedule

The LA Kings have released their full preseason broadcast schedule for 2026-27, a four-game slate that opens Saturday, Sept. 19 with the return of the annual "Empire Classic" against the Vegas Golden Knights at Toyota Arena in Ontario, Calif.

The first three games will be carried on SLVR and streamed on LAKings.com and through the LA Kings app. Radio coverage for those three is on ESPN 710 AM and the ESPN LA app. The fourth and final exhibition game moves to Angels Broadcast Television (ABTV), with radio available through the ESPN LA app.

For viewers sorting out where to find the team after the FanDuel Sports Network West era, the Kings say locally televised games remain on the same channels through participating providers, including DirecTV, Spectrum and COX. Local listings are the best check for channel positions.

Tickets for the Empire Classic are on sale through axs.com and ontarioreign.com. The Kings also have preseason dates at Crypto.com Arena on Sept. 23 and Sept. 26, with full ticketing details at lakings.com/preseason. The team said additional broadcast information will be announced later.
