Telford Tigers 2026-27 NIHL fixtures as season starts with double header

Telford Tigers will kick-off the 2026-27 NIHL season with a double header against Basingstoke Bison and Milton Keynes Lightning.

Tom Watkins’ charges will travel South to Basingstoke on September 19, before playing host to Milton Keynes the following day at Telford Ice Rink.

Defending champions Swindon Wildcats will face a double header against the Tigers on the weekend of November 14-15 - while division new boys Solway IHC will begin their first season as an NIHL franchise.

The regular season will conclude with a home clash against Hull Seahawks on March 20 followed by a trip to Romford Raiders on March 21.

The season will then culminate with the post-season play-offs on March 27 and 28, before the Final 4 weekend at the Planet Ice Coventry Skydome on April 17 and 18.

Tigers have also announced four pre-season friendlies with a pair of double headers against Swindon Wildcats and Bristol Pitbulls.
