Atlanta Gladiators open their hockey season Saturday at 7:10 p.m.

Duluth’s Gas South Arena hosts Norfolk for the first of two opening-weekend home games, with a Sunday afternoon rematch.

The Atlanta Gladiators’ official schedule has the Norfolk Admirals visiting Gas South Arena Saturday October 17 at 7:10 p.m. The teams meet again Sunday October 18 at 3:10 p.m.

This is the ECHL club’s 2026–27 home opener, and a good live-sports alternative to football or soccer. Minor-league hockey offers close views of the ice and an energetic arena experience.

Sunday’s afternoon start is particularly convenient for families who do not want to be out late Saturday. Compare seating and parking directly with the team before buying.

The useful decision is simply whether a weekend hockey game sounds fun. The schedule is confirmed; ticket inventory and any promotions should be checked live.

What to do: Compare Saturday 7:10 p.m. and Sunday 3:10 p.m. Gladiators tickets at Gas South Arena.
