The 2022-23 NHL season wrapped up two weeks ago today, as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers in five games to win the Stanley Cup.
With the finals over, there’s no more hockey until the fall. However, we get to look ahead to next season already with the Toronto Maple Leafs releasing their 2023-24 regular season schedule today alongside the rest of the NHL.
Here’s the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 2023-24 regular season schedule:

The Toronto Maple Leafs will open the 2023-24 campaign at home against none other than their longest rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, on Oct. 11 with puck drop scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. They will begin their season on a mini-home stand (three games) against the Canadiens, Wild and Blackhawks.
Their first game against their former GM, Kyle Dubas, will be on November 25th in Pittsburgh at 7:00 pm ET. Dubas’ return to Toronto is not until the middle of December when the Penguins visit Toronto on the 16th at 7:00 pm ET.
Toronto will close out the 2023-24 season with four of the last five games on the road. The final two games are on the road in Florida, April 1st against the Panthers at 7:00 pm ET and April 3rd against the Lightning at 7:00 pm ET as well.
It’s unknown at this time what the Toronto Maple Leafs’ preseason schedule looks like. They didn’t release theirs when some of the other teams around the league released theirs almost a week ago. I bet the team will announce it when they tweet out the 2023-24 schedule on their Twitter account or when we get closer to training camp at the end of summer.
It’ll probably include the same teams as in previous seasons. A mix of the Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres.
