Reading Royals Tickets

Reading Royals

Purple, black, and silver have been the colors of Reading's hockey nights since 2001, when the franchise, born in 1991 as the Columbus Chill, moved into Pennsylvania. Reading Royals hockey leans on structure over flash, a strategy that has produced playoff berths in 13 of the past 15 seasons. The 2026-27 season is another year of ECHL hockey in Reading, and Reading Royals tickets cover the club's home schedule. Line up your season plans with listings from Event Tickets Center.

The ECHL Affiliate of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms

A short drive southwest of Allentown, Reading anchors one of the tightest affiliate chains in professional hockey, feeding the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and, above them, the Philadelphia Flyers. The ECHL works as the rung where prospects log heavy minutes and sharpen their games before a call-up moves them onto the Lehigh Valley Phantoms schedule. Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley have kept Reading in that development pipeline for the current season.

Reading Royals at Santander Arena

Downtown at 700 Penn Street, Santander Arena has hosted every Royals home game since opening in 2001, and it seats roughly 6,500 for hockey. The bowl is compact enough that a hit along the boards carries to the last row. Concessions sit steps from the seats, theme nights bring specialty jerseys and giveaways, and Wall of Honor ceremonies give longtime supporters a reason to show up well before warmups end.

Reading Royals Schedule

Every ECHL club plays a 72-game regular season, and the 2026-27 Reading Royals hockey schedule opens in mid-October on the road. Trenton is back on the schedule, and the Ironhawks revive a short-drive rivalry that sat dormant since the Titans folded in 2013. Don't miss the Trenton Ironhawks' visit in November 2026, one of the meetings that will shape the North Division race.

Reading Royals Kelly Cup Playoffs

One Kelly Cup sits in the trophy case, won in 2013 with a five-game series win over the now-defunct Stockton Thunder in the club's 12th season in Reading. Division titles and a first-place conference finish in 2021-22 round out the honors. The 2026 postseason stung: Reading reached the field, then Wheeling closed out the North Division Semifinal in overtime. This group wants a longer stay.

Twenty-five seasons in, the pitch here is a simple one. Tight games decided by a single shot or save, a roster of players skating for a promotion, and a rink small enough that you can hear the benches chirping at each other. Kids get their jerseys signed, regulars know the goal song by heart, and nobody leaves early. Take your pick of Royals home dates at Event Tickets Center.
