Toronto Maple Leafs -Fans travel well. Beyond typical The home crowd drown out In nearby NHL cities such as Ottawa and Buffalo, they ensure that they represent in almost every arena around the competition. If a trip to Scotiabank Arena is priceless duration and/or inaccessible, it might be time to go on the road and see how far Leafs Nation extends.
The dawn of a new season offers a new series of opportunities to combine travel with cheering on the Maple Leafs. If you want to venture outside of Toronto to follow the club this season, the schedule of 2025-26 presents a number of pretty intriguing options.
Here are the top five:
5) New Jersey -> New York (4-5 March)
Maple Leafs fans in a New York state can go on the road for a back-to-back set matches against the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers. Although Newark does not offer much to be enthusiastic about, fans can plans a short trip in Jersey to swing along the Prudential Center for the first half of the back-to-back while Toronto meets former head coach Sheldon Keef and the Devils. From there it is about a ride of 40 minutes directly to Madison Square Garden.
With all due respect for Jersey, New York is the sales argument here. With the match against the Rangers who fall on a Thursday, you could even plan a full weekend in the Big Apple. There is never a shortage of things to do in New York City, plus there will be a Knicks game somewhere (the NBA scheme is released Later this week).
4) Calgary -> Edmonton (2-3 February)
If you want to stay in Canada, a trip to the West to Alberta offers an ideal balance between star power on the ice and incredible landscapes and attractions thereof. Start escape with some weekend exploration (and perhaps some skiing) in nearby Banff and Lake Louise before you hit the Scotiabank Saddledome on February 2 on 2 February on 3 February.
Except that they are in reasonably good company next to one Strong contingent from Toronto -fans In Western Canada you would get the chance to see former (and perhaps future?) Maple Leaf Nazem Kadri and the Calgary Flames, followed by an always anticipated confrontation against Connor McDavid and the two-way ruling Stanley Cup finalist Edmonton Oilers. This would offer the last opportunity to see McDavid Auston Matthews accept immediately before they go to Italy to represent Canada and Team USA respectively on the Winter Olympics.
3) Seattle -> Vancouver (January 29-31)
The back-to-back in Calgary and Edmonton is part of a seasonal high six-game road trip for the Maple Leafs (split by the Olympic break), with three very different travelers. If it is not your cup of tea to Alberta, you might prefer to catch the post-Olympic Florida swing that Toronto will visit the Tampa Bay Lightning and the double defender Florida Panthers. Or you could see how they start the journey in the Pacific Northwest.
After playing their last home game for more than a month on January 27 against the Buffalo Sabres, the Maple Leafs go to Seattle to face the Kraken before they go back to the Canadian boundaries to visit the Vancouver Canucks. Fans can include games in both the state-of-the-art climate promises of Seattle and those of Vancouver Newly renovated Rogers Arena While they also enjoy many beautiful Pacific landscapes, including a view of mountain coverings and ocean.

2) Washington -> Nashville (December 18-20)
Christmas could come early (at least with a few days) for fans who want to catch the Maple Leafs when they visit Washington, DC and Nashville for matches against the capitals and predators. Although this would probably not have been a road trip in view of the 10-hour ride between cities, a flight time of less than two hours and an off-day in between makes it possible to be a fairly unique journey with a two punch.
This is an opportunity to see the leading goal scorer of the NHL, Alex Oveechkin, followed by one of the nicest in-arena experiences of the competition in Bridgestone Arena, the home base of the Predators. From a travel point there would be enough time to experience everything that the capital of the nation has to offer before he continues to Broadway to enjoy Nashville’s world -famous Country Music Scene. For those who are ambitious enough (and with deep enough bags), there is even the chance to complete the journey with a visit to Dallas to see Toronto cheeks on December 21 with the stars.
1) Colorado -> Utah -> Vegas (12-15 January)
Speaking of ambitious, following the Maple Leafs for three games in four days in Colorado, Utah and Vegas certainly qualify. In what promises to be a tough slate of games early in the new year, fans would be able to watch Nathan Mackinnon, Cale Makar and the Stanley Cup-Contening Colorado Avalanche, then Catch the Newly Rebranded toe Mammoth, or ors, of Course, of Course, or orss, orss. Arena, The New Home of Former Mapel Leaf Mitch Marner.
Marner and the Golden Knights make their only trip to Toronto on January 23, which means that the game on January 15 is the first chance of Maple Leafs to extend acquaintances with last season’s team leader. If that is not enough, Colorado and Utah offer opportunities to ski or snowboard (if you can make time for it). And a few days in Vegas at the end of the journey would not hurt.
There are much more convenient (and budget -friendly) ways to see the Maple Leafs on the road. They will each make two trips to play the Sabres, Ottawa Senators, Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens. However, these proposed outings are aimed at hockey fans who want to go further away from home to encourage their team. So whether you want to go far to follow the club or keep things in the area, there are plenty of options to make memories while your Maple Leafs will get away from Scotiabank Arena this season.
