Friday night hockey on the Strip brings a Western Conference matchup to T-Mobile Arena. The Nashville Predators visit the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, November 13, 2026, with puck drop at 7:00 PM Pacific Time and doors at 5:45 PM, according to the official T-Mobile Arena listing. The game lands on one of the busiest entertainment weekends of the fall in Las Vegas, with the arena and its neighbors all in action, and it closes out the Knights’ run of November home dates before the city turns its attention to Grand Prix week.
Vegas and Nashville meet as two franchises built on identity. The Golden Knights play fast through the neutral zone behind Jack Eichel and captain Mark Stone, defend in layers in front of Adin Hill, and turn T-Mobile Arena’s pregame show into a genuine home-ice edge. The Predators, led by veteran core pieces like Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi and goaltender Juuse Saros, travel as one of the Western Conference’s most structured teams. The previous meetings between these clubs in Las Vegas have trended low-scoring and physical, with special teams deciding the third period, and a Friday crowd under the lights typically gets the Knights’ most energetic start of the homestand.
Date and time
Nashville Predators vs. Vegas Golden Knights is on Friday, November 13, 2026 at T-Mobile Arena. Doors open at 5:45 PM and puck drop is at 7:00 PM Pacific Time, according to the official venue listing; Las Vegas is on Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) in mid-November. Toshiba Plaza, the outdoor space in front of the arena, opens before doors with food, drinks and music, and the Knight Club and arena concourses fill quickly for Friday games. The team’s pregame ceremony, with the drum line and the Knight’s entrance, begins roughly fifteen minutes before puck drop, so be in your seat by 6:40 PM.
Venue
T-Mobile Arena is at 3780 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109, set behind New York-New York and Park MGM at the south end of the Strip. The arena seats about 17,500 for hockey across its bowl levels, with suites and club spaces between, and offers standing-room energy around the upper concourse. Every seat keeps the NHL ice in full view, and the building’s sound system and in-game presentation are widely considered among the league’s best. Bag policies and mobile-only entry apply, so check the arena’s event page before you go.
Tickets
Tickets are available through the venue’s official event page for Nashville Predators vs. Vegas Golden Knights, which links to authorized sellers. The T-Mobile Arena listing does not publish a starting ticket price, so check the official page for current prices by section, including fees, before you buy. Friday Knights games against Western Conference opponents are high-demand dates, and single seats in the lower bowl move first once the weekend approaches. Prices on resale platforms change daily; buy through the official listing where possible, and confirm you are purchasing the November 13 game rather than another date in the season series.
Getting to T-Mobile Arena
The arena is walkable from Park MGM, New York-New York, Aria and the Cosmopolitan, and The Park and Toshiba Plaza sit directly outside its doors. The Las Vegas Monorail’s MGM Grand station is about a ten-minute walk, and the Aria Express tram connects Park MGM with Bellagio and Crystals. Pre-booked garage parking at Park MGM and New York-New York serves most drivers; rideshare pickup zones run along Frank Sinatra Drive. On a Friday when the whole Strip is active, arriving by 5:45 PM for doors beats fighting game-time traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard.
