Vegas Golden Knights players will take center stage at T-Mobile Arena for Games 3 and 4 of the 2026 Western Conference Final against the Colorado Avalanche after the team announced its home playoff plans on May 23, 2026. Fans heading to Sunday’s Game 3 will get doors open 75 minutes before puck drop and an exclusive gold battle towel at each home game.
T-Mobile Arena Opens Early
Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday, May 24, with puck drop at 5:00 p.m. PT. The Golden Knights are pushing fans to arrive early, and the building will open 75 minutes before the opening faceoff.
That window matters because the pregame build begins before the puck drops. The VGK cast will start the March to The Fortress one hour before game time, while the all-new pregame show begins 30 minutes before game time and runs with on-ice live action, video, a light show, and ice projections.
Toshiba Plaza And Concessions
Toshiba Plaza will carry much of the game-day load outside the arena. Fans can find face painters, tattoo artists, partner activations, food and beverage options, and a merchandise trailer, while the Allegiant Stage will feature a DJ and visits from the VGK cast.
Inside, T-Mobile Arena will add a Bone-In Short Rib Panzerotti and a Lobster Mac Dog. The VGK Locals Menu stays in place as well, with popcorn, fountain soda, bottled water, pretzels, nachos, and hot dogs priced at $5.50 per item.
Vegas Watch Parties And Broadcasts
The home-game setup stretches beyond the arena. The Golden Knights will host official team watch parties in Las Vegas for each playoff road game, with DJs, giveaways, raffle prizes, and appearances from the VGK cast. Fans can also enter exclusive ticket drops through the Official VGK Mobile App, and the winner of the Vegas Golden Knights Bracket Challenge can win a trip to a 2026-27 NHL event.
Coverage for all seven games will be broad: the pregame show will air throughout the Golden Knights television territory on Scripps Sports and KnightTime+, and radio broadcasts will run on the VGK Radio Network presented by Lee’s Discount Liquor, including FOX Sports Las Vegas at 94.7 FM and 1340 AM plus Deportes Vegas at 1460 AM. Knight Time at Noon will keep its usual Monday 12 p.m. PT slot throughout the playoffs, giving fans another weekly touchpoint while the series unfolds.
