PEORIA — The Peoria Rivermen don’t know who they will play at Carver Arena, but the hockey team knows when, according to a calendar listing their home game schedule for the 2025-26 SPHL season.
The 44-year-old franchise will host its home opener on Oct. 24, one of 12 Friday home games. The team also will play 10 times on Saturdays, six times on Sundays and once on Thursday.

The SPHL has increased its regular-season schedule by two games, to 58, for the 2025-26 season. Opponents, and the complete 58-game schedule for each team will be announced by the league later this summer.
Here are a few notable schedule quirks for the Peoria Rivermen:
